One of the multiple rocket launchers was hit while being deployed.

Operators from the 237th Separate Unmanned Systems Battalion of the 7th Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck artillery positions of the Russian Federation’s occupying army.

On the Hulyaypole–Pologi highway in Zaporizhzhia Oblast were destroyed two BM-21 “Grad” multiple rocket launchers.

Air reconnaissance by paratroopers promptly detected the movement and positions of enemy equipment, after which the targets were struck using attack drones.

Thanks to the skill of Ukrainian pilots, the first multiple rocket launcher was struck right as it was deploying and opening fire. The second “Grad” multiple rocket launcher was intercepted and neutralized while on the move, preventing it from reaching its firing position.
