➡️The first confirmed loss of a 🇺🇸 US-supplied M142 HIMARs MLRS, in the provess of being loaded into an An-124 “Ruslan”.

It seems to have suffered Shrapnel Damage, but no direct hit luckily.

It will now be going to the US for repairs👍

My guess is the OEM sent technicians to evaluate the damage.

Some of the damage must be beyond depot level repair capability.
