Igor Strelkov, an ex-commander of rebel forces in the Donetsk People’s Republic, has always had strong ties to Russia.
Strelkov announced on his Telegram channel to his 400,000 followers that “The Russian air defense system turned out to be ineffective against massive strikes by Himar missiles.”
“There have been big losses in personnel and equipment.”
“Now we’ve lost these warehouses one by one,” he added. “Instead, out of the blue, a wild ‘shell hunger’ has just been created by the enemy who has mastered new foreign artillery systems and MLRS.”

Russian forces should expect a “hammering” over the coming weeks, a pro-Russian blogger who witnessed a strike reported.
“I’ve been under fire many times, but I was struck by the fact that the whole packet, five or six rockets, landed practically on a penny,” he wrote on Telegram. “Usually, MLRS lands in a wide area, and at the maximum range, it completely scatters like a fan. It makes an impression; I won’t dispute that.”
