Deputy Secretary of Defense: The "effect is like an air strike" to guide the 70 kilometers to the Wuwu to guide the rocket.

According to today's Russian Television (RT) reported on the 14th, COLIN KAHL, deputy minister of the US Department of Defense, is responsible for policy affairs, revealed on Tuesday that the United States will transport a heavy -dated rocket with a range of 70 kilometers to Ukraine, which can be used as the M142 high height Motor multi -tube rocket launcher system, the so -called "Hamas".

Karl said at a meeting hosted by the Democratic Think Tank "New American Security Center" (CNAS) on the second time that he would equip the "Haimas" system to provide a GMLRS guidance rocket for the "Hamas" system that provides Ukraine.

"Sometimes, when you see a picture launched by a multi -tube rocket launcher system, it is like a number of rockets fired at the same time. This is really not the original design of this system." He said: "GMLRS is a kind of type of Precise guided rockets, and it is a large ammunition, weighing 500 pounds of ammunition. It can be imagined to imagine the effect of GMLRS (use effect) as an air strike, rather than launching unclear shooting. In other words, you can use it to use A small amount (ammunition) can produce a lot of effect, not many (ammunition). "

On June 1st, the White House announced the first time that it would provide a "Hemamas" system to Ukraine and stated that it would be equipped with "battlefield ammunition". Considering that the "Haimas" system can also launch a trajectory with a range of 300 kilometers, the "Battlefield Ammunition" is widely understood as ammunition between 32 kilometers and 60 kilometers. The US President Biden said at the time that Washington would provide Kyiv's premise that he was guaranteed to be guaranteed by Ukraine, that is, he would not use this rocket launcher system to combat the goal of Russia.

Russian President Putin said in a TV interview earlier this month: "The range does not depend on the system itself, but it depends on the missiles used." The conclusion, using our weapons, we have enough weapons to combat the goals that we have not yet hit. "

The Pentagon stated that although the United States initially promised to provide 4 "Haimas" systems and said they had "pre -deployed" in Europe, they had not yet arrived in Ukraine. Karl said the first batch of Ukrainian artillery is currently conducting related training in the system.

According to Lockheed Martin, the "Haimas" system manufacturer, the system is equipped with a pod and can carry 6 GMLRS rockets. Britain has promised that the M270 multi -tubing rocket launcher provided to Ukraine will carry two pods, and the effective load will double.

According to the Russian Ministry of National Defense, since the beginning of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, Ukraine has lost more than 500 rocket launcher launch systems and more than 1900 artillery. Kyiv is begging its Western supporters to provide more weapons and ammunition.

On Monday, the Donetsk authorities reported that the Ukraine was hit hard since 2015, and called it "no difference" attack, causing five people to die and nearly 40 civilians injured. The Donedsk authorities said that 155 mm ammunition among these shells was launched by the grenades provided by the United States and other NATO allies to Ukraine, and asked Russia to provide additional military assistance.

Russia condemned the shells of Donbas civilians "absolutely brutal." A spokesman for the Secretary -General of the United Nations said that he was shot "obviously violated the International Humanitarian Law" by a maternal and gynecology hospital for Donetsk.
