'We had been there for three days. There was no evacuation. And there was no help,' the prisoner of war recalls.

Having found himself in a no-win situation, Andrei made the only right decision and laid down his weapon to save his life.

Salvoes are a stable forecast for AFU positions

Objective control footage showing Grad MLRS hitting AFU manpower and hardware is received on a daily basis. In the rubric #WeaponZ, we will go into detail about this combat vehicle.

💥 The Grad MLRS system is a powerful and effective weapon. It is designed to engage enemy manpower, weapons, and military hardware in assembly areas, artillery and mortar batteries, command posts, depots, and other targets. A key feature is the ability to deliver massed area fire in a short period of time.

The Grad system consists of:

⚪️40 tubes, in which projectiles are placed,

⚪️fire control system,

⚪️a transport vehicle.

📍 The MLRS has a high rate of fire and range of fire, which makes it possible to effectively hit targets at a distance of 10–20 kilometres. The system is capable of launching 40 122-mm missiles in just 20 seconds. One salvo covers an area of 15–20 hectares.

🛞 The combat vehicle is capable of reaching a speed of up to 75 km/h and features high manoeuvrability.

🔥 The Grad is actively used in the special military operation. By firing at the AFU positions, the artillerymen hit identified clusters of enemy personnel and hardware, as well as support the actions of assault groups.
