Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a cabinet meeting on Monday with senior officials, amid concerns about Ukraine's High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) from the United States that Western officials claim hamper Moscow's war efforts.
The rocket systems first arrived in Ukraine in June from the U.S and have been seen as crucial to helping Kyiv's forces repel the Russian military.
The Russian state-backed TASS news agency reported on Monday that Putin will hold the cabinet meeting via videoconference on Monday, with the main topics being the development of air transport and aircraft manufacturing. Deputy Prime Minister and Trade Minister Denis Manturov, and Transport Minister Vitaly Savelyev will give presentations at the meeting.
The Kremlin said "a number of current issues will also be considered," without providing more details, but it is likely that a response to HIMARS will be broached at the meeting, according to TASS. Putin last met with top officials on July 15, when he held a meeting of Russia's Security Council.
Western officials have touted the threat HIMARS poses to Moscow. American-made HIMARS can carry either six guided rockets with a range of around 40 miles, or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), with a range of almost 200 miles.
A senior U.S. defense official told reporters on Friday that Ukraine had used HIMARS to destroy more than 100 "high value" Russian targets in recent weeks. The official said that among those targets were ammunition depots, long-range artillery positions, command posts, air-defense sites, and radar and communications nodes.

Coup a brewing?
Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation sees no point in participating in the "empty" meetings Putin regularly holds.
HIMARS didn’t do diddly squat on that bridge. Newsweak, the most trusted name n news. LOL
Their response: “But…we have nukes!”
It must be depressing to find out your weapons, for the most part, suck.
Interesting keywords you’ve chosen. 😂
But did you see the pattern of hits on the structure? Remarkable accuracy!
Willing to bet if a coup or assassination takes place, it will not be Putin, it will be ZelenskyyIdiot. Bet?
Somebody needs to Photoshop in a "Cone of Silence" from Get Smart.
I doubt very much Putin is going to speak about “worrying” - he’s going to plan how to address that threat.
Not willing to take the friendly bet?
The bridge is already being repaired by the Russians.The hit was accurate, but the bridge was still usable. Saw a video of Patrick Lancaster on the bridge. There is also a rail bridge in that area.
LOL! Putin had a 3-hour medical episode on Friday night and then on Monday, Patrushev is refusing to attend Putin’s video meeting calling Putin’s video meetings “empty”. Too funny!
Needless Death and Misery - marcusmaximus willing to Fight Russia to the Last Ukrainian. Seemingly gaining strength with each drop of blood spilled. Your mom must be so proud.
Ukraine needs much more help than we have given her, the Polish military would need to engage there fully. Also heavy armor and modern aircraft, and longer range cruise missiles (stuff we sell to Egypt).
Also, I strongly suspect there are some back room deals between Gazprom and Hunter Biden, which is allowing Russia to sell oil to the US through third-party brokers.
That looks fake. Probably is. I just said the bridge is already being repaired. LOL
Holes are much easier to patch than it is to repair/rebuild a downed span.
