  1. I really believe that the HIMARS rockets (GMLRS, etc) with GPS guidance + NATO/Ukraine intelligence is really what has made the rocket system so effective, especially over their Soviet/Russian counterparts. I have seen evidence that Russian GLONASS is just not as accurate as GPS and I haven't seen any evidence to counter this. So yes, while Russia may have Soviet/Russian MLRS like the HIMARS, I don't think they're as accurate, or even if they are, they might not have as much smart ammunition like GMLRS available as the Ukrainians do. In addition, I think that honestly, Russia oversells the accuracy, speed and effectiveness of it's weapons. Obviously, every military has some propaganda to sell and intimidate potential enemies, but I think Russia does it even more so, which could explain why their MLRS have not been nearly as effective as HIMARS and also why Russia has a hard time destroying HIMARS. Russian rocket artillery and conventional artillery just doesn't seem that modern or effective as advertised. Maybe it has to do with a whole host of factors, including training.
