Scouts destroyed enemy camouflaged reconnaissance and observation post In the Kupyansk direction, in the zone of a special military operation, after reconnaissance of the area using unmanned aerial vehicles, a camouflaged reconnaissance and observation post of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was discovered. Soldiers from the reconnaissance unit of the West group of forces, using the Fagot anti-tank missile system, destroyed the post and the enemy reconnaissance officers who were conducting surveillance. For convenience and mobility, the scouts installed the Fagot ATGM on an all-terrain vehicle, which allowed them to quickly overcome rough terrain and change firing positions, avoiding defeat from enemy counter-battery fire. The results of the lesions were recorded by means of objective monitoring using UAVs. The target was hit, everything went without incident. The enemy is so close that an accurate hit is immediately visible. The Fagot ATGM is reliable, never fails, and shows high accuracy. As the fighters say, he has already put the enemy to flight more than once. The military personnel leave the firing position as quickly as possible so that the enemy does not have time to strike back. Every day, reconnaissance officers discover strongholds and individual groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, adjust artillery, carry out tasks behind enemy lines and defeat them with various weapons, incl. attack drones.

Combat work of military personnel of the reconnaissance unit Military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, during a special military operation, continue to strike firing positions, military targets and armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using information received from intelligence units. A group of reconnaissance officers and UAV operators of the 1st Guards Tank Army of the West group of forces secretly made a forced march from the rear area closer to the front line to carry out a combat mission. The enemy is no more than 3 kilometers away. The main reconnaissance is now carried out, of course, from the air. Small ‘birds’ provide an overview of enemy positions several kilometers in diameter. Soldiers go on reconnaissance raids all the time. Copters help them. They collect information and often distract the enemy's attention. And FPV drones strike the enemy. From the forest plantation, in order to be inconspicuous, the scouts launched several drones. Fighters call them workhorses. Always with them. To adjust fire, conduct reconnaissance or objective control. A couple of minutes later - the targets were found - the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants set up dugouts a few kilometers away. The enemy's coordinates were immediately transmitted to the command post.

TOS-1A Solntsepyok operates against the enemy at a relatively short distance - approximately 5 kilometers. Therefore, the crew needs to get as close as possible to the line of combat contact, quickly strike and immediately leave the battlefield, changing the firing position - the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hunting for our equipment, using mortars, artillery, and kamikaze drones for this. The heavy flamethrower system carries 24 charges. They fly out at great speed in just six seconds and cover an area the size of several football fields.

The crew of the Msta-B howitzer destroyed a Ukrainian mortar Artillery units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to carry out combat missions of a special military operation. They suppress Ukrainian artillery batteries, destroy enemy defenses, destroy enemy control posts, destroy fire weapons and military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. So, the day before, a crew of a 152-mm Msta-B howitzer of the Southern Military District, as part of counter-battery warfare, destroyed a crew of a 120-mm mortar of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which had taken a position in a forest belt in the Artyomovsk area, with a direct hit. The position was identified by reconnaissance using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The distance to the target was about 16 km. The firing was carried out with high-explosive fragmentation shells, which made it possible to inflict maximum damage to enemy personnel and destroy the mortar position along with its ammunition. The 152-mm howitzer Msta-B is designed to destroy open and hidden enemy personnel, weapons and military equipment to the depth of the division's interests. Capable of firing both from closed firing positions and direct fire. The maximum firing range is up to 30 km.

Tornado-G MLRS crews on combat mission Artillery reconnaissance units of the West group of troops in the Kupyansk direction in the area of ​​the Northern Military District with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles revealed the enemy's positions and weapons. The information was promptly transferred to the rocket artillery battalion. The crews of the Tornado-G multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) of the combined arms army, after receiving the command, moved to firing positions, targeted and destroyed platoon strongholds, manpower and fire weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Objective control footage received from the UAV in real time made it possible to verify the destruction of targets. Tornado-G combat vehicles in the waiting area are always fully equipped. These are 40 projectiles that can be fired in just 20 seconds in the event of an intense attack. Air defense systems will not be able to accurately reflect it. The fighters camouflage the Tornado-G perfectly. This multiple launch rocket system is distinguished from its predecessor, the Grad, by a more advanced fire control system and the presence of a computer for calculating ballistic indicators. Military personnel always work from new positions. They are changed every time to avoid being hit by a retaliatory strike, which is why the jet fighters jokingly call themselves nomads.
