The 220 mm caliber Solntsepyok fires thermobaric ammunition, destroying fortifications and creating a zone of destruction that the enemy uses to put pressure on the defense and support the offensive.

“Maximum damage worth millions of dollars and the detonation of a rocket salvo — thanks to FPV for a few hundred bucks and the invaluable work of the pilots of the unmanned systems battalion of the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade,” the brigade emphasized.
