Ukraine destroys prized Russian rocket launchers with US howitzers.

Ukraine has reportedly destroyed at least two Russian thermobaric rocket launchers, which are one of Russia's most effective weapons in repelling the Ukrainian counteroffensive, using US-supplied artillery. The TOS-1A heavy thermobaric rocket launchers are mounted on top of tanks and can launch rockets up to two miles. If Ukraine continues to damage these systems, it could affect Russia's defensive capabilities, due to Russian forces' apparent reliance on these weapons. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Saturday that the counteroffensive to take back territory from Russian forces had begun.
