The command of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released a demonstration video on which successful actions to destroy military equipment and personnel of the occupying forces in the Bakhmut region were recorded.
It is noted that everything shown in the video was filmed during a small amount of time, during which 9 enemy targets were destroyed with the help of high-precision long-range weapons. Among the destroyed objects are some electronic warfare systems, armored vehicles and artillery of the enemy.

9 pieces of russian hardware were destroyed on Bakhmut direction. Among them 2 EW systems “Triada” and “Leer-2”. pic.twitter.com/4jIwX7R81E— SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES OF UKRAINE (@SOF_UKR) July 25, 2023
Among the affected targets, special attention is drawn to enemy EW means. For example, the Tirada-2 system was destroyed along with the operators. The purpose of this system, according to russian sources, is to suppress satellite communications (most likely including satellite navigation). As of 2018, this system passed state tests in the russian federation and began to be supplied to the occupying army in limited quantities.
Another Russian EW system - Leer-2 was also destroyed, which is actually a front-line system and is intended both for conducting radio-electronic intelligence and for creating obstacles.
The Leer-2 is a mobile technical control, electronic emulation and electronic countermeasures system which is based on the Tigr-M 4x4 armored vehicle.
Another really successful episode recorded on the video by the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the destruction of the P-18 Malachite radar system, which the enemy tried to place in the immediate vicinity of the front line.
After the destruction of the enemy EW stations (by the way - they interfere with the operation of the UAV), the video shows the process of targeted destruction of the enemy's artillery and armored vehicles. In particular, the Grad MLRS as well as the D-30 howitzer were destroyed by high-precision strikes. After that, the video recorded the destruction of a group target in the form of four BMP-type IFVs gathered in the parking lot at once.
It should be noted that the results of the use of high-precision weapons by the Ukrainian military, shown in the video, indicate that behind this is the hard coordinated work of creating reconnaissance-fire and reconnaissance-strike contours. In order for high-precision weapons to hit targets, it is necessary to establish the detection of enemy targets and transfer their coordinates in real time. Without this, any high-precision weapons are worthless.
