Soldiers of the Russian Airborne Forces (VDV) marched on the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) and destroyed armored vehicles and manpower of the enemy. On Monday, February 6, the Russian Ministry of Defense shared footage of combat work.
Unmanned aerial vehicles conducted reconnaissance of enemy targets and subsequently corrected the direction of fire. They also confirmed the destruction of targets.
It is noted that during the performance of the combat mission, the crews used 120-mm Nona self-propelled guns. It is noted that the gunners acted professionally and harmoniously.
The commander of a self-propelled artillery battery with the call sign “Moskva” noted that “Nona” is distinguished by good maneuverability and easily moves over different types of terrain.
After the destruction of the identified enemy targets, the fighters of the Russian Airborne Forces quickly changed positions.
Earlier, on February 5, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry, said that units of the “Southern” group of Russian troops took more advantageous positions in the Donetsk direction within the framework of the NMD. He noted that Russian fighters successfully attacked the manpower and equipment of the 110th mechanized, 35th and 36th marine brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On the same day, Russian grenade launchers repelled an attack by Ukrainian fighters on Russian positions in the zone of the special operation. The approach of the enemy was reported by reconnaissance using a drone. However, fighters from the 30-mm automatic heavy grenade launcher AGS-17 “Flame” successfully repulsed the failed attempt of the Ukrainian army.
The special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
