RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia- 25 November 2022. Msta-S artillery crews of the Central MDt destroy AFU armoured vehicles within special military operation STORYLINE: The Msta-S self-propelled artillery unit changes its firing position after each bombardment of enemy targets. In combat operations, Central MD artillerymen follow the 'one target, one position' principle, which deprives the nationalists of the opportunity to launch a targeted retaliatory strike. The trajectory of the shells reveals an enemy firing point that has already been abandoned by the Msta-S SAU crews. As part of the counter-battery warfare, artillerymen from the Central Military District destroy artillery and radar stations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while the 152mm shells destroy tanks, armoured personnel carriers and ammunition vehicles. After receiving target coordinates, artillerymen take up a firing position in a matter of minutes, establish ground alignment, pointing and firing - the rapidity of the engagement is achieved through coordinated crew work and allows the lives of personnel to be saved without losing the effectiveness of the artillery strikes.
