Ukrainian border guards destroy three Russian artillery systems near Vovchansk
Fighters of the Fury strike drone company of the Hart border brigade destroyed two Russian artillery guns and a 152-mm Akatsiya self-propelled howitzer near Vovchansk in Kharkiv region.
According to Ukrinform, the State Border Guard Service reported this and released video footage of the combat operation.
One of the top-priority targets is enemy artillery. And although the invaders skillfully camouflage their fire-strike systems, the border-guard drone operators still detect and destroy them.
This time, two artillery guns and a 152-mm Akatsiya self-propelled howitzer were destroyed.
“We spotted the howitzer by chance while patrolling the assigned area. The enemy had camouflaged it very well. When we moved in to strike it with a fiber-optic-guided drone, the Akatsiya crew tried to protect the system by cutting the fiber-optic line. We managed to hit it only on the third attempt,” a fighter from the Fury unit recounted.
As reported earlier, in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, UAV interceptors shot down a Russian Molniya drone that was targeting civilians.
