Nothing in that video suggests a “massive HIMARS attack”. Burned vehicle is one thing, but no cratering, road is perfectly fine and none of the vehicle are blown apart...
Just don’t get in between the zeepers and their newest cookie, if you want to avoid “splatter”...
I noticed that also. Not alot of debris. Cluster munitions would make the are off limits.
If the HIMARS missiles were cluster munitions there would be no craters. Nor would vehicles be blown apart, unless a hit set off a sufficiently large secondary explosion. As it was the hits just set some of them on fire. The video does show dead bodies. I would say a couple of dozen, but who knows how many of the killed were off the road or in the trucks.
I’d say the convoy was stopped and the men may have been getting off, some of them, when the convoy was hit with cluster munitions. There would have been many more wounded than killed. The other Russians on the road probably evacuated them in the night.
I doubt the 400 number of killed. There arent enough trucks for that. And that does not account for the likely wounded either. Though there may well have been more trucks loaded with men that were hit and suffered casualties, but were still in running condition.
If they had been in armored vehicles, even light armor like BTRs, there would probably have been many fewer casualties. Its a question why they were being transported on trucks, on an objective highway (that the Ukrainians want to cut) so close to enemy units.
