The brigade reported the destruction of three Msta-B howitzers, one of the russian military's standard long-range towed artillery systems. The strikes also targeted a location where russian troops had assembled, further reducing the enemy's combat capabilities in the sector.
Drone operators first identified concealed artillery positions and troop concentrations before relaying precise targeting data, allowing artillery crews to engage the targets quickly and accurately.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces targeted multiple elements of russia's air defense network, destroying the Tor-M2 system and striking the Buk-M1 unit along with five radar systems.
