"Would you mind explaining how the anti-aircraft missile equipped with the GPS guidance is “barely accurate to hit the city”?"

Because surface to air missiles were designed as surface to air missiles, not surface to surface missiles. Russia can not use U.S. GPS since the U.S. cut them out of the system. The Russian GLONASS is not as good as GPS, has as much corruption as everything else in Russia, so it is not as good for weapons targeting.

"As a matter of fact, with the appearance of the HIMARS you see the increased indiscriminate terror bombing of the rebel-held population centers."

Eleven exploding Russian ammo dumps posted to social media say other wise.

"They are accusing the other side in doing exactly what they are doing, and it is not the first time but a regular practice in this conflict."

Except for all the information uploaded online that the pro-invasion faction ignoring. When something blows up in Ukraine, it gets on social media in minutes. Everyone with a cell or IPhone is as good as a WW-II OSS agent now.

Ukraine is using HIMARS to attack Russian ammunition dumps and doing a good job of it. If the reality on the ground in Ukraine does not fit into politically expedient ideologies over here, that's just too bad.

So many falsehoods in one post:)

What makes glonass worse and how exactly the use of GPS was restricted? What are the advantages of HIMARS against ammo dumps compared to their traditional systems like Uragan and Tochka-U, especially given the number of HIMARS?
