08:24 Targets received, “gifts” sent – video
Calculations of D-20 howitzers of the artillery units of the Western Military District destroy artillery and camouflaged fortified positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Artillery crews of D-20 howitzers use 152 mm shells. When fully charged, their firing range exceeds 17 kilometers.
Artillerymen are counter-battery fight. They destroy MLRS, mortar crews and other targets sent by scouts. Fire is corrected with the help of drones.
“The first projectile, when we get a gap, the drones correct, and, accordingly, we introduce adjustments to the gun settings and carry out further firing,” said the crew number of the D-20 howitzer with the call sign Latuza.
And so almost around the clock. In any weather. Artillerymen call it just work, but it is by no means so. Servicemen risk their lives every second, because at any moment they can be “covered” by the enemy.
In addition, artillerymen have to go on reconnaissance. They determine where the calculation is located. Sometimes, the fighters say, they have to travel up to ten kilometers a day in search of a position.
