The Come Back Alive Foundation and the OKKO gas stations network released a video on how Ukrainian artillerymen from the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a number of samples of weapons and military equipment of the russian invaders on the battlefield. Artillery adjustments were carried out by the brigade's aerial scouts with the help of the Shark unmanned aerial systems manufactured by the Ukrspecsystems company (part of NAUDI – the National Association of Ukrainian Defense Industries).
First of all, the video shows the destruction of two such important targets as the 2S7 Pion or Malka Soviet-made self-propelled 203mm cannons. In both cases, the drone followed the vehicles until they "hid" in the landings.

The first self-propelled cannon was destroyed by a well-placed shot. The video clearly shows how the enemy 2S7 Pion self-propelled cannon is burning. The second artillery installation, judging by the footage, at least received damage by the debris.
Next, the video shows the destruction of the enemy's BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system – the russian vehicle was completely destroyed by cluster munitions. Footage of the defeat of the enemy Msta-S self-propelled gun is also shown.
According to data of the Oryx portal, from February 2022 until now, the russians have lost destroyed, damaged or abandoned (trophied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine) at least:
- 18 units of the Pion/Malka self-propelled cannons,
- 177 the BM-21 Grad MLRSs and
- 155 the Msta-S self-propelled howitzers.
We will remind you that today the Armed Forces of Ukraine have dozens of the Shark unmanned reconnaissance systems in service, which receive favorable reviews from Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance.
In particular, fighters note the high-quality camera of the drone, thanks to which it is possible to effectively search for camouflaged enemy equipment. The Ukrainian military also talks about the high level of efficiency of this unmanned aerial system
Defense Express reported earlier that Shark UAVs Purchased by Ukrainian Volunteers Helped Destroy russia’s Equipment Worth Hundreds of Millions Dollars.
