Combat work of the Akatsiya self-propelled gun crews
Combat work of the Akatsiya self-propelled gun crews
Crews of 152 mm self-propelled artillery mounts 2S3 Akatsiya of the artillery units of the Vostok group of forces use fire attack tactics to inflict maximum damage to manpower and fire weapons of the Ukrainian Forces located on the line of combat contact near the border of the Donetsk People's Republic with the Zaporozhye region.
To carry out this tactical technique, the self-propelled gun crew constantly maneuvers, moves to a firing position, fires 5-6 shots and immediately returns to cover. Fire attacks by our large-caliber artillery prevent the enemy from transferring reserves and support the advancement of our assault groups. Fire adjustment of the Akatsiya self-propelled gun is carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles.
Another task of the Russian military is to push the enemy as far as possible so that the cities and towns of the DPR are out of reach of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ artillery. The artillerymen of the Vostok group of troops said that they themselves installed additional protection on the body of the self-propelled gun to protect against enemy drones, which are constantly hunting for our artillery systems.

How Ukraine attacked Donbass
How Ukraine attacked Donbass
In 2014, the conflicts and contradictions that have existed for decades between Ukraine’s agrarian west and industrial east turned into civil strife and then into war. The differences in mentality, language, and traditions were too irreconcilable.
As a result, the Euromaidan movement, which began as a struggle for Ukraine’s integration into the European Union, rapidly veered towards outright nationalist ideas. Radical groups started to play a leading role in Maidan. Watch how Ukraine attacked Donbass.

Russian Airborne reconnaissance units discovered
Russian Airborne reconnaissance units discovered the firing position of enemy mortar crew in the island zone of the Dnieper delta and destroyed it with an FPV drone strike
Units of the Airborne Forces, as part of a special military operation, continue to identify and strike at firing positions, military targets and armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using information received from intelligence units. During reconnaissance and search operations in the island zone of the Dnieper delta in the Kherson direction, reconnaissance officers from one of the airborne formations secretly made a forced march from the rear area to the left bank of the Dnieper, where they began reconnaissance of the enemy on the islands.
The enemy is several kilometers from our reconnaissance group and they have a few minutes to turn around, launch an FPV drone and hit the identified target - a mortar crew of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at a firing position. The FPV drone was launched and a few minutes later the enemy mortar crew stopped harassing fire on our positions. After completing the combat mission, the reconnaissance group returned to its rear area without losses with new intelligence data.

Akatsiya artillery in action
Akatsiya artillery in action
In the Kupyansk direction, reconnaissance officers, using unmanned aerial vehicles, discovered camouflaged positions with personnel and a concentration of armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and transmitted the coordinates to the command post for further destruction.
At the specified coordinates, servicemen of the artillery battery destroyed camouflaged positions with personnel and armored combat vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces using fire from Akatsiya self-propelled artillery systems.
Objective control footage received from the UAV in real time made it possible to verify the destruction of targets. After live firing, the artillerymen changed firing positions to spare ones to replenish the ammunition and prevent return fire from the enemy.
Combat missions are carried out around the clock and in any weather. Self-propelled guns are constantly on the move. The tactics of a 24-hour artillery carousel disorient the enemy, force him to waste ammunition, and declassify the positions of his camouflaged firing points. And most importantly, it saves the lives of Russian military personnel.

Russian paratroopers occupied a Ukrainian stronghold north-west of Artyomovsk
As part of the conduct of active combat operations in the Artyomovsk direction north-west of the city, units of the Airborne Forces continue to improve the situation along the front edge of the line of combat contact in areas in their zone of responsibility, occupying new strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
During one of the battles near this settlement, assault groups of paratroopers, from different directions, came close to the enemy stronghold and began to assault it. The enemy offered resistance, but it was suppressed, thanks to the courage, bravery and fearlessness of the ‘winged infantry’ warriors. The paratroopers carried out a diversionary maneuver, forcing the enemy to switch their attention to some of the attackers, while other attackers bombarded the dugout in which Ukrainian militants were hiding with hand fragmentation grenades and eliminated the Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry, thereby completing the combat mission of occupying an enemy stronghold in the forest belt.
With bold and confident actions, Russian paratroopers occupied a new stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroying up to a squad of enemy infantry there.
