The American HIMARS rocket artillery systems widely fielded by the Ukrainian Military has repeatedly become “increasingly less effective” in terms of its accuracy when employed against Russian forces, according to five U.S., British, and Ukrainian sources familiar with the matter cited by CNN. The GPS guided rocket system has had one of the greatest impacts of any combat asset used in the conflict, and has been responsible for multiple major Ukrainian successes including a strike on a Russian barracks on January 1 which killed 89 military personnel. The system was previously made particularly effective by a wide network of Western personnel - both active duty and contractors - providing support in areas from intelligence to logistics to ensure that new equipment can be operated effectively. Access to hundreds of satellites from NATO members, which can provide key targeting data on Russian positions, has also been key, with HIMARS itself reliant on GPS guidance. While Russian air defences have frequently shot down rockets from the HIMARS system, it was not clarified how Russian forces may have eroded its effectiveness. Electronic warfare and some means of jamming its guidance remains likely, however, with Russian ground forces benefitting from much greater concentrations of electronic warfare equipment and specialists in their ranks than their Western counterparts.

The HIMARS system has an engagement range of 80km allowing it to strike deep behind Russian lines. A Ukrainian drone operator cited by CNN described Russian the efforts to disrupt its operations as “significant,” noting that this escalated significantly from November. A Pentagon official cited anonymously described efforts towards getting around Russian countermeasures as“a constant cat-and-mouse game.” A senior Pentagon official said the systems received “constant tweaking to get them to stay effective,” with updates made “as recently as this week.” While in a full scale war HIMARS and similar assets from both sides would be highly vulnerable to strikes on the satellites they rely on for targeting data, Russia has refrained from targeting NATO satellites in the limited war in Ukraine despite moves to further expand its anti satellite capabilities.

Precisely,
@Noway & his Putin still focused on how to crack HIMARS yet Comedian has since moved on to bigger things, getting his dream weapons from the West from Leopold tanks that Germany took so long to agree to, to the fighter jets UK is currently delivering. It hasn't occurred to Two cell brain @Noway that the reason Ukraine has been mooting a Spring offensive is coz Ukraine has amassed AND BEEN TRAINING on all other manner of weapons for this eventuality. Noway & Putin just like that Russian barrack that was hit, won't know what hit them. Russian conscripts train on nothing, they are just dropped on the front to be slaughtered.

When others dream the below is the reality
Russia likely damaged US-made Patriot missile battery – CNN
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/16/politics/patriot-missile-damage-ukraine/index.html
The Patriot system was likely damaged, but not destroyed, in a Russian missile barrage against Kiev on Tuesday morning, CNN reported, citing an unidentified US official. Washington is assessing the damage to determine whether the battery needs to be pulled back or repaired on site by Ukrainian forces, the outlet said.
The report came hours after the Russian Defense Ministry announced that a hypersonic Kinzhal missile strike had destroyed a Patriot base in Kiev. Tuesday’s strikes also took out Ukrainian troop positions, munitions storage facilities, and Western-supplied weapons, the ministry said in a press briefing.

Summer offensive you meant ? 14 days to Summer Jam 2023
Perhaps lets talk of Autumn Offensive.
Fact is Ukraine has been getting weapons from NATO in the past one year and managed to mobilize one million troops and also get Foreign troops but still Nil results .
The over hyped Spring offensive which was to start in Feb is still ongoing ……Dont believe the Western media hype.

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has refuted claims made by Ukrainian military officials about shooting down six Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles during overnight strikes on targets near the country’s capital city of Kiev.
Ukraine routinely exaggerates the effectiveness of its anti-aircraft defenses, primarily ‘intercepting’ incoming Russian munitions only with public statements, Shoigu told RIA Novosti.
“I have already said that, and I will repeat it again. We have not launched as many ‘Kinzhals’ as they allegedly shoot down every time with their statements. Moreover, the number of these ‘Ukrainian interceptions’ – and who really mans the American [anti-aircraft] complexes there, is still a big question – is three times as high as what we actually launch,” Shoigu stated.
The minister also said that Ukraine “always” misidentifies munitions used by Russia in its media statements. “That’s why they miss them,” he added, without providing any further information on the number of missiles used in the latest barrage.

Ukraine was subjected to a new massive missile and suicide drone barrage overnight, with the country’s capital city of Kiev seeing particularly intense activity by Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses, footage circulating online suggests.
Moscow and Kiev have provided drastically different accounts of what happened overnight. Kiev claimed that it had shot down six state-of-the-art hypersonic missiles over the capital, as well as other incoming projectiles, using a battery of the US-made Patriot air defense system. The Russian military, however, said the battery was successfully hit by a Kinzhal missile. Footage available online shows multiple anti-aircraft missiles going towards an unseen target, with at least two explosions seen at the site from which they appeared to be launched.
Western media reports suggested the Patriot battery in question was likely damaged in the strike. According to CNN, citing an unidentified US official, Washington is currently assessing the extent of the damage in order to determine whether the Patriots need to be pulled back or whether on-site repairs by Ukrainian forces would be enough.

You expect me to read Russian media; That is very rich of you; I will continue to buy and read my favorite The Economist. And of course watch CCN, Aljazeera, and such.
Russia has pretty much lose the war since summer of last year. Bakhmut after months is still in stalemate.
For Ukraine - they need one final push to kick out Russia out of crimea, Donbas and Luhansk. I strong believe they will do it.
They have everything they need now to go for final push - lots of donated weaponry - lots of motivation and lots of soldiers.
