Russian Tank Destroyed After Direct Hit from Artillery
Published 2 years ago
Drone footage released by the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade shows the destruction of a Russian tank after an artillery round makes a direct impact with the armor.
There has never been a war in the history of mankind where the artillery was this accurate. On a near daily basis we are seeing pieces of armor from both sides of the conflict taking casual direct hits from large artillery rounds. The reason for that is because of the implementation of commercial drones into the arsenal of fire support teams.
No longer do forward observers have to rely on their MK. II eyeballs to make artillery strike corrections. They can now view the battlespace from a birds-eye view at their leisure, and make adjustments on the fly with that information. The obvious next step is the implementation of a mil.dot reticle inside of the drone's camera feeds. I wouldn't be surprised if there is already an app overlay in production for such a thing. If implemented correctly, it would make these drones even more deadly for artillery forward observers.
