Ukraine Loses another HIMARS, Russian Advance Continues

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for July 17, 2022

- Russian forces continue operations against Bakhmut-Siversk defense line;
- Russian forces have reportedly destroyed another HIMARS;
- The Pentagon has been deliberately vague regarding HIMARS performance in briefings;
- Striking behind Russian lines may be possible for Ukraine, but not in the quantities Russia is capable of regarding strikes behind Ukrainian lines;
- Claims that Russia is deliberately striking civilian targets is transparent war propaganda;
