Accurate Counter-Battery Destroys Russian Mortar Position
Published 2 years ago
Artillerymen with Ukraine's 59th brigade conduct a counter-battery fire mission in order to destroy a Russian mortar position in an unknown part of Ukraine.
It's unclear exactly where this footage was recorded, but it shows members of the 59th Brigade conducting a perfect counter-battery fire mission. The purpose of counter-battery is to destroy a rival artillery position in order to give your own troops a tactical advantage and means of gaining fire superiority over enemy troops in the area. It also ends any possible harassment from enemy gun positions that are in range of friendly positions.
We can tell that the hit was effective and on an enemy mortar position due to the increment charges cooking off after the round impacts. The fireball seen by the drone emanating from the Russian position is indicative of increment charges igniting.
