Paratroopers destroy Russian D-30 howitzer in Myrnohrad, Donetsk region

Drone operators from the unmanned systems battalion “Combat Hawks” of the 25th Separate Sicheslav Airborne Brigade of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a Russian D-30 howitzer in the area of Myrnohrad, Donetsk region.

The brigade reported this on Facebook and released a video of the combat operation, according to Ukrinform.

“After the first strike by our FPV drone, the enemy decided that a few branches would be reliable protection. The D-30 in the Myrnohrad area was not saved – it is now scrap metal,” the statement said.
