D-30 of artillery units performing fire missions

The weather in the Kupyansk direction is deteriorating. The so-called autumn thaw begins. Therefore, the artillery positions can now only be reached with heavy, all-passable armored vehicles. It is not easy to see a howitzer battery. The guns barely peek out from the forest plantation. Crews are on duty around the clock. These fighters call themselves an aged group. They are all well over 30 years old. But along with the younger ones, they are also forging Victory, ready to complete the task at any time.

The video shows real combat work. The crew loads the shells, and they, with a caliber of 122 millimetres, fly one after another to the positions of the militants.
Drones help artillerymen identify targets. From the moment the coordinates are received until the shot is fired, no more than two or three minutes pass. And artillerymen also don’t need many shells to destroy a target - one, two, three at most.

How accurate these hits will be will become clear later, based on objective control footage. But in fairness, it’s worth noting that the artillerymen of the West group of troops in the Kupyansk direction are working as snipers.
