Upon identifying and confirming the coordinates of the invader's location, Ukrainian gunners destroyed the enemy equipment with two well-aimed shots.
Precision-guided ammunition was used for this. The video footage captured almost simultaneous explosions of ammunition - first over one of the systems, and then over another Russian self-propelled gun. Counter-battery warfare is a complex of organizational, reconnaissance, and fire measures to defeat artillery batteries (platoons) at enemy firing positions and destroy, suppress, or gain fire advantage on the battlefield.
