The Russian soldier offered protection against the defeat of the MLRS HIMARS. As you know, the Ukrainian army actively uses the HIMARS MLRS, the striking elements of these rockets are made of tungsten balls that pierce up to 6 mm of metal. Technique after such blows is all like a sieve. One of the Russian servicemen who repairs Russian military equipment damaged in the battles in Ukraine said that tungsten balls do not penetrate hard rubber protection. We don’t know how reliable this is, but according to him, the MT-LB military tractor was protected by a hard rubber conveyor belt and the HIMARS MLRS submunitions did not penetrate it. It is not yet known whether such protection against the HIMARS MLRS began to be used.
