The crew of the self-propelled howitzer Akatsiya in an artillery duel

In the Krasny Liman direction, operators of the Aistenok artillery reconnaissance complex of the Centre group of troops discovered the fire weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and transmitted the coordinates to the artillery command post. In the shortest possible time, after receiving target designation, the personnel of the 2S3M Akatsiya self-propelled artillery unit struck from a firing position, destroying the enemy’s gun and crew. The successful hit of the target was recorded by the operator of a Russian unmanned aerial vehicle.

The military clarifies that such combat work is similar to a blind duel, when the enemy’s guns may not be visible visually. The location of the gun is recorded only by the Aistenok radar complex.

Aistenok is a portable radar complex for reconnaissance and fire control. It’s designed for reconnaissance of positions of enemy fire weapons (MLRS, artillery and mortar positions, launchers of tactical missiles and air defence systems, etc.), calculating the trajectories of projectiles and missiles, adjusting the fire of friendly fire weapons, monitoring airspace and controlling unmanned aerial vehicles.
