RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia- 21 September 2023. Artillerymen from Novorossiysk Airborne Troops formation inflict fire damage on AFU positions in Zaporozhye direction. STORYLINE: Artillerymen of the Airborne Troops from Novorossiysk carry on inflicting fire damage on AFU manpower and hardware in the zone of the special military operation. The paratroopers use unmanned aerial vehicles to reconnoitre enemy's positions. Having detected targets in a wooded area, 120mm mortars support infantry units, eliminate revealed observation and fortified posts of the enemy, and engage manpower and light-armoured hardware of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The speed and accuracy of target acquisition is achieved by fire adjustment by an unmanned aerial vehicle. 120mm mortar crews have a few minutes to take a combat emplacement, calculate initial data for firing, and make the first shot. Having made the first shot, the crews begin to operate as an effective team in which each serviceman knows his mission. Over dozens of 120mm shells are fired at the detected targets in just a few minutes. Footage by / APAwire
