Russian Airborne Troops antitank artillery pieces neutralise AFU manpower and hardware on opposite bank of Dnieper. STORYLINE: During the special military operation, Russian Airborne Troops antitank artillery pieces neutralise enemy manpower and destroy Ukrainian hardware on the opposite bank of the Dnieper river. Rapira antitank artillery pieces unit neutralise the Armed Forces of Ukraine infantry in dugout and woodlands entrenchments. Rapira antitank artillery piece’s purpose is to destroy the enemy tanks with direct fire, but when the need arises, 100mm towed antitank artillery piece can cope with other tasks.
