Crews of self-propelled artillery units Akatsiya performing fire missions

Artillerymen of the West group of forces carry out precise strikes around the clock on military targets, positions, fortifications and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the Kupyansk direction, reconnaissance officers of a combined arms formation, using unmanned aerial vehicles, discovered camouflaged positions and a concentration of armoured vehicles of the Ukrainian Forces and transmitted the coordinates to the command post for further destruction. At the specifying coordinates, servicemen of the artillery battery, using fire from Akatsiya self-propelled artillery mounts, destroyed camouflaged positions, armoured combat vehicles and a 122 mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mount of the enemy.

Objective control footage received from the UAV in real time made it possible to verify the destruction of targets. After live firing, the artillerymen changed firing positions to spare ones to replenish the ammunition and prevent return fire from the enemy.

Combat missions are carried out around the clock and in any weather. Self-propelled guns are constantly on the move. The tactics of a 24-hour artillery carousel disorient the enemy, force him to waste ammunition, and declassify the positions of his camouflaged firing points. And most importantly, it saves the lives of Russian military personnel.
