WMD 152mm Giatsint-B towed cannon crews destroy AFU hardware and fortified positions STORYLINE: Artillery units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue neutralising artillery batteries of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), destroying their defensive fortifications, command posts, firepower, armament, and hardware. Crews of Giatsint-B towed cannons from the Western Military District (WMD) use 152mm projectiles. The firing positions are located about 20 kilometres away. Giatsint-B artillery battery has neutralised a concentration of AFU hardware in one of the directions of the special military operation. Fire is adjusted by unmanned aerial vehicles. Their cameras record the damage. 152 mm Giatsint-B cannon battery is operated by the personnel conscripted within the partial mobilisation who have completed their preparatory and unit cohesion courses in the training grounds of Russian Defence Ministry, and at the training grounds of the Western Military District, including those in the rear areas of the special military operation. They have been at the fore front for a short time, but are already entirely involved in the operation. The artillery formation launches everyday strikes at hostile manpower and hardware. Giatsint-B is a towed cannon, its position constantly changes. It allows to launch strikes at the enemy, remaining undetected. Footage by /APA
