Combat work of the crew of the 2S4 Tyulpan mortar

The 240-mm mortar 2S4 Tyulpan crews of the Central Military District worked out on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces . Personnel destroyed strongholds and fortified structures of the enemy in the Krasny Liman direction. After moving to unprepared firing positions, the mortarmen fired high-explosive fragmentation mines at a distance of 4 to 9 km.

To inflict maximum damage, artillerymen use fuses with different delays depending on the type of fortified structures. To protect personnel and combat vehicles, after a quick series of shots, servicemen immediately change their firing position and continue working to destroy identified targets.

The 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortar is a unique high-power vehicle with a 240 mm caliber projectile and weighing more than 130 kg. It was designed to destroy powerful fortifications, dugouts, buildings and command and observation posts, as well as to destroy enemy concentrations of manpower, weapons and military equipment at a distance of up to 19 km.
