The Zemledeliye system is used by russian forces for remote area mining. It can deploy up to 600 mines in a single salvo, enabling the rapid creation of minefields across wide areas without direct personnel involvement.
This type of equipment is typically used to hinder enemy troop movement, delay advances, or control access to certain areas. Its destruction may affect russian capabilities in terms of mine warfare in that operational zone.
The UA_REG Team has been involved in similar missions targeting specialized russian systems. Their use of drones for surveillance and strikes has become a standard approach for such tasks.
No additional details were provided regarding the location of the incident or the exact timing beyond what was shown in the published footage.
As Defense Express previously reported, in the Zaporizhzhia sector, personnel from the 17th Poltava Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, in coordination with artillery units, carried out a precision strike using the Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzer. The strike targeted russian 152 mm artillery system at a reported distance of over 25 kilometers.
According to the Brigade's official statement, the operation resulted in the destruction of the enemy artillery piece, likely along with its crew. The distance of the strike marks a new range benchmark for the unit in terms of accurate fire.
