Ukrainian troops used an M142 HIMARS rocket artillery system to destroy a Russian howitzer and its ammunition. The direct hit detonated the enemy ammunition.
Censor.NET reports that during aerial reconnaissance, troops from the Ground Forces’ drone units initially tried to locate a Russian multiple-launch rocket system but were unable to find it.
Drone scouts from the 26th Artillery Brigade later spotted another enemy position from which Russian troops were firing artillery and relayed its coordinates to Ukraine’s Defense Forces for a strike.
The scouts identified an enemy howitzer and an ammunition depot at the position, then passed on the coordinates for a HIMARS strike.
The direct hit detonated the ammunition, destroying the Russian gun and its stock of shells.
Troops from the 26th Separate Artillery Brigade named after General-Khorunzhyi Roman Dashkevych released footage of the operation.
