Izvestia correspondent Kirill Olkov on Tuesday, August 23, presented a video of the work of gunners in camouflaged positions in the vicinity of Ugledar of the Donetsk People's Republic.
"During the period of the special operation, the battery destroyed 81 drones, including Bayraktar," said Andrei, commander of the first anti—aircraft missile battery of the anti-aircraft missile division of the separate Guards brigade of the Pacific Fleet Marine Corps.
With their work, anti-aircraft gunners cover other types of troops from attacks by Ukrainian radicals. Among the dangers that can wait on the positions are the tripwires left by the militants in this territory.
Anti-aircraft gunners and gunners work together on enemy positions, pushing the enemy further and further away from the Coal mine.
On the eve of their work on the positions of the nationalists, the fighters of the 152-millimeter towed howitzers "Msta-B" told about their work on the positions of the nationalists. Coordinates of new targets are obtained with the help of unmanned aircraft and spotters working on the front line. After working off all the targets, the gunners go into hiding.
Russia continues the special operation to protect Donbass, which President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24. A few days earlier, the situation in the region significantly worsened due to shelling by the Ukrainian military. The authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) announced the evacuation of residents to the Russian Federation, and also appealed to Moscow for help. On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree recognizing the independence of the DPR and LPR.
