A devastating new HIMARS missile strike has killed dozens of Russian troops, shocking drone footage from Ukraine appears to show.
If confirmed, it would be the second such attack by Ukraine in as many days, after Vladimir Putin was dealt a devastating blow on Wednesday by a HIMARS missile which is reported to have killed 65 Russian soldiers during a training exercise.
New video, captured by a drone high above a Russian training ground in the occupied Kherson region, is said to show the second attack carried out by Ukraine using the powerful US-supplied weapons this week.
The clip opens by showing a gathering of people - reportedly Russian soldiers - in a clearing covered in tank tracks near a lush green forest.
Suddenly, as the drone camera circles around the group with a target marker in the centre of the screen, a huge explosion detonates amidst the unit.
A huge ball of fire rises into the air, and as the smoke clears, several bodies are seen strewn across the ground.
But the onslaught is not over yet. The video cuts to a second view of the open field as more soldiers are seen gathering into another group. The men look like ants from the distance as they move into position, grouping near a copse of trees.
This time, the flash of a missile is seen a split second before another explosion erupts from the ground. The soldiers drop the floor, as if struck by lightning.
After a second or two, some are seen writhing around in the dirt.
Others remain still.
The footage ends with a third explosion, near the site of the first strike.
Moments earlier, more soldiers had appeared from the trees, apparently approaching the pile of bodies left by the earlier attack.

Billions of our tax dollars WASTED in this utterly futile effort.
Tell Russia to leave Ukraine.

Tungsten.
No thanks, you can go do that. I’m just telling my Congressman to NOT fund any giveaways to Ukraine in our border control bill.
I don't think the Ukrainians understand the meaning of the word "offensive" because ever since they started their "Great Spring Summer Winter Spring Offensive" the battle lines have been moving steadily west towards Kiev.
Sucks to be a Zeeper moron that can only point to the one-off tactical win here and there by the Ukraine in spite of all the support the North Atlantic Tranny Orgy can muster.
So what?
Ukraine is accepting Americans for service in the military.
Are you going, or does the above not include you?
My tax dollars are demilitarizing Russia as you can see in the video. Bargain of a lifetime.
Russia is now public enemy #1 world-wide. Putin must be stopped.
Russia winning big now, Ukraine short on ammo and troops, losing land faster, can’t defend that long defensive line.
Instead of name-calling, can’t you guys agree that there is NO GOOD GUY in this fight?
The bad guy is the invader.
The problem with all these Western “wonder weapons” is that they are produced in very small numbers.
“Furthermore, Lockheed aims for a 40 percent annual production increase of HIMARS Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System ammunition in 2025, from 1,000 to 1,400.
Additionally, the defense giant plans to produce 3,960 Javelin anti-tank missile systems by late 2026 from the current 2,400.
Meanwhile, Lockheed said it has secured advanced funds to raise the annual production of PAC-3 MSE air defense missiles to 650 by 2027.

It was Winston Churchill who said that the nation was defended by a “bodyguard of lies”.
That is all Ukraine has left at this point.
