Crews of towed guns Gyacinth-B on combat mission

Crews of towed guns Gyacinth-B on combat mission Artillery units of the Western Military District carry out precision strikes around the clock on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the zone of a special military operation in the Kupyansk direction. They destroy military facilities, fortifications and enemy personnel. Artillerymen have to work every day in the most difficult conditions, but trained crews spend only a few minutes after receiving a target before firing a shot, using tactics of frequent changes of firing positions. During combat missions, artillerymen strike camouflaged artillery positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine identified by reconnaissance units, remote from the line of contact, ammunition depots, fortified strongholds and long-term firing points, as well as concentrations of enemy manpower. This time, when performing fire missions, the crews of the Giatsint-B guns hit a 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mount, three mortar crews and an ammunition supply point for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Combat missions are performed by military personnel who were called up from the reserves as part of partial mobilization, and by volunteers who have completed the full cycle of training and combat coordination in training centers and training grounds of the Western Military District. The 2A36 Gyacinth is a long-range weapon capable of destroying enemy personnel and equipment at a distance of up to 28.5 km with high-explosive fragmentation shells and up to 33.5 km with active-reactive shells. In addition, it is possible to fire anti-tank cumulative and smoke shells. The main task of the Gyacinth crews is counter-battery warfare. To do this, they use tactics that require artillerymen to have nerves of iron, endurance and high professionalism. Join Military Wave Источник: Military Wave
