This footage reportedly shows a Russian BM-21 Grad firing a salvo that hits a reported Ukrainian infantry and vehicle position in a forested area.

The Russian Ministry of Defence said airborne artillery crews from the Tula Guards unit struck targets while operating in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine, on November 14.

Officials stated that drone teams from the same formation had earlier spotted what they described as a newly identified target area containing infantry, light armoured vehicles, and cars positioned along a tree line.

Gunners were given the coordinates before a Grad crew moved to a firing point and unleashed a single salvo that reportedly blanketed the marked area.

The ministry said real-time footage from an unmanned aerial vehicle showed the target being destroyed.

Crews then shifted to a new position to avoid potential counter-battery fire.

Officials said Grad crews from the Tula Guards airborne formation continue operating around the clock in the area, striking what they describe as Ukrainian personnel, armoured vehicles, ammunition depots, troop locations, firing positions, strongpoints, and UAV control sites.

They added that coordination between reconnaissance teams and artillery units remains essential for accuracy and for supporting assault operations.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, in what the Kremlin is still calling a 'special military operation'.
