Video: Special Operations Forces operators destroyed a Russian Grad rocket launcher

Drone operators from the “Hornet” unit of the 3rd Separate Special Forces Regiment named after Prince Sviatoslav the Brave, part of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, detected and destroyed a Russian BM-21 “Grad” multiple rocket launcher system.

Footage of the strike on the enemy’s military equipment has been published online.

Thanks to the precise work of aerial reconnaissance operators and strike UAV pilots, the Russian system’s position was successfully detected and pinpointed in a timely manner.

Following this, the Ukrainian military delivered a precision strike against the enemy equipment using drones.

Thus, operators from the “Hornet” unit destroyed or disabled the Russian BM-21 “Grad” MLRS, which the occupiers had been using to strike Ukrainian positions.

As a reminder, the “ATESH” partisan movement reported the destruction of three Russian communications towers in the border areas of the Kursk region.
