RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia- 18 November 2022. CMD 240mm Tyulpan self-propelled mortar launch devastating strikes within special military operation. STORYLINE: Crew of 240mm Tyulpan self-propelled mortar from the Central Military District (CMD) launches devastating strikes within the special military operation. 240mm Tyulpan mortar systems are designed for destroying fundamental concrete structures, strongpoints, and large fortifications of the enemy. The large calibre and ballistic specifics allow the projectiles of Tyulpan mortars to blast concrete structures of about 3-metre-thick. The crews employ projectiles weighing from 130 to 230 kg that allow to destroy enemy's facilities at considerable distances from the line of contact. To avoid a counterattack, Tyulpan crews redeploy to alternate areas for replenishing their ordnance stockpile, and continue launching strikes from another position. Footage by APAwire
