Sounds a bit like the problem that the US encountered with IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan. The problem was that by the time the explosive was detonated, the people who planted it were long gone.
The solution was to use satellite data and run it “backwards” in time. Once they got to when the IEDs were placed, they followed the insurgents forwards to where they went after they planted the bombs and then targeted that house.
The Russians should be able to find where Ukrainians are hiding the HIMARS in the same way. Follow the missile backwards to its source, then follow the HIMARS truck forward to wherever it is kept between missiles and hit that location.
I’d link the story, but I forgot what podcast I heard it in.
