VIDEO| Russian Kamikaze Drone Obliterates US HIMARS in Zaporozhye; Ukraine's Defences On The Brink?

A Russian Lancet drone has reportedly destroyed a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system in Ukraine's Zaporozhye Region, signalling a potential blow to Ukraine's military capabilities. The strike, captured in an undated video released by the pro-Moscow Telegram channel 'The Wrong Side,' shows the HIMARS launcher being hit while on the move as part of a convoy near Novosoloshino. Although the system caught fire after the attack, it did not explode, as it was reportedly unloaded at the time. This incident highlights the growing challenges facing Ukraine’s defences amidst escalating Russian drone attacks and heavy losses on the frontlines. Russian forces have claimed significant destruction of Ukrainian military assets, including armoured personnel carriers, artillery systems, and ammunition depots. With casualties mounting and critical systems being targeted, Ukraine's defences appear increasingly strained. #UkraineWar #HIMARS #Zaporozhye #RussianDrone #LancetDrone #UkraineDefences #MilitaryStrike #RussianOffensive #USWeapons #UkraineCrisis #FrontlineLosses #RussianVictory #MilitaryConflict #DroneWarfare #UkrainianResistance ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.346~GR.124~

‘Biden Wants WWIII’: Trump Jr. Slams Biden's ATACMS Move; Calls it a ‘Dangerous’ Missile Decision [Video]

‘Biden Wants WWIII’: Trump Jr. Slams Biden's ATACMS Move; Calls it a ‘Dangerous’ Missile Decision

Donald Trump Jr. has harshly criticised President Joe Biden's decision to approve the use of American-made ATACMS missiles by Ukraine, warning that it could escalate the conflict and lead to World War III. The approval allows Ukraine to strike deep inside Russian territory, a move that Trump Jr. views as a reckless provocation. In a pointed social media post, he accused the Biden administration of fueling global tensions to benefit the military-industrial complex. The former president's son expressed concern over the long-term consequences of Biden's policies, suggesting that the decision could ignite a broader, more dangerous conflict. His comments reflect growing fears that U.S. military involvement in Ukraine could directly escalate tensions with Russia, pushing the world closer to a larger war. #Biden #TrumpJr #ATACMS #WorldWar3 #MissileStrike #UkraineConflict #RussiaWar #MilitaryAid #USForeignPolicy #TrumpVsBiden #GlobalTensions #NATO #USDefense #Escalation #Weaponry #Geopolitics ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.155~GR.124~
