2023-01-18 10:00:01 Dangerous flower: Western MD 82mm Vasilyok mortars in combat action

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue launching strikes at AFU facilities within the special military operation.

Artillery crews admit that one of the most effective methods of operation is the 'roving mortar'. The main rule of this tactical manoeuvre is to rapidly change firing positions. The rapidity and precision of hitting targets is achieved due to fire adjustment performed by unmanned aerial vehicles.

The crews spend several minutes on preparing their mortars for operation.

The 82mm Vasilyok mortar crews are reinforced by personnel conscripted within the partial mobilisation, and volunteers.
