On June 14, Izvestia published a video of the work of Russian military surveyors during a special operation in the Donbass. Military topographers help their colleagues to deliver accurate strikes on objects occupied by Ukrainian militants.
The footage shows how surveyors make a sortie near the positions of Ukrainian neo-Nazis. They act quickly, because at any moment the radicals can open fire. After all geodetic works are completed, the soldiers are promptly removed from the positions.
After them, the Iskander operational-tactical missile system leaves for the positions, which launches a projectile at the positions of the nationalists.
"Our task was to link the launch positions for the missile brigade as soon as possible. To do this, I had to go to the area where the brigade is going to make launches. We give the necessary coordinates for one simple reason — a move was made, a march to a new area, that is, the coordinates may not match. We are doing post—processing of data, which will allow us to issue geodesically accurate coordinates of the launch site for the shortest possible time, which will allow the brigade to hit the target much faster and more accurately," Alexey, the head of the navigation and geodetic department, told about the work of the unit.
Russian servicemen continue to fulfill their military duty during the special operation to protect Donbass. So, on June 13, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed footage of the work of the fire support group, which covered Russian helicopters during combat sorties.
On June 11, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published a video of the work of artillery from "Acacia" installations on the positions of Ukrainian militants. The gunners also used 152-millimeter high-explosive shells for fragmentation or high-explosive action. Cumulative shells were also used to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles.
The special operation of the Russian Federation to protect the population of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics continues in the Donbass, the beginning of which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24. Moscow explained that its tasks include demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. On April 19, the Russian side announced the beginning of the next stage of the military operation — "the complete liberation of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics."
The situation in the region significantly worsened in mid-February due to shelling by the Ukrainian military. The authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics announced the evacuation of residents to Russia and appealed to Moscow for help. On February 21, the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR.
