Do NASA Maps Really Prove HIMARS Reduced Russian Artillery Strikes? (No) | The New Atlas | Aug 18, 2022 (Video)
Summary:
Newsweek and many others both in the mainstream Western media as well as across social media have claimed NASA maps indicating fires in Ukraine “prove” US-supplied HIMARS have reduced the number of Russian artillery strikes.
However, a quick visit to NASA’s publicly available map (the link is in the references below) indicates that the number of fires varies greatly day-to-day including some days with hardly any fires at all long before the first HIMARS was delivered to Ukraine.
