The media reported on the loss of effectiveness of HIMARS in Ukraine without US intelligence

HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) are losing effectiveness in service with the Ukrainian army without intelligence data USA. This was announced on March 6 by military observer Davis Ex.

Fox News channel journalist Jackie Heinrick reported on March 5 that Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Ratcliffe confirmed Washington's decision for some time suspend cooperation with Ukraine on the transfer of intelligence.

"The split immediately affected the American highly mobile artillery missile systems of the Ukrainian army," he wrote in an article for the magazine Forbes.

According to him, the Ukrainian HIMARS systems "will not be able to shoot as far and accurately" as long as the US president Donald Trump will not change his position on the conflict or the Ukrainian side will not receive other sources of intelligence.

It is noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have not completely lost the ability to detect long-range targets, but the task has become more complicated.
