The Ukrainian military recently destroyed a camouflaged Russian BM-21 multiple rocket launcher with the drone. A video showing the destruction of the invader weapons was published on social media. The drone operator of the 59th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the 122-mm multiple rocket launcher of the Russians.
OSINT researchers discovered from the released video footage that the invaders were disguising their BM-21 Grad in the Kirovsky district of temporarily occupied Donetsk.

The Russian military set up a prepared position in the middle of the forest near the road.
They were trying to disguise their multiple rocket launcher as a pile of rubbish by throwing various junk over the top of the multiple rocket launcher and the cabin of the vehicle. However, this did not prevent the Ukrainian drone from detecting the Russian Grad multiple rocket launcher.
The Ukrainian military used a quadcopter converted to drop small ammunition on enemy equipment or enemy infantry positions to destroy the multiple rocket launcher of the invaders.

It is likely that the UAV dropped a 40 mm grenade, usually used in automatic grenade launchers, on the enemy equipment. Feathering was attached to the ammunition to stabilize the grenade during the fall and thus increase the accuracy of hitting the target.
