Ukrainian HIMARS rocket systems started to hit Russian mobile drone launchers. The soldier with the social media nickname External Pilot (????????? ????? - Ed.) shared that one of these launchers was detected with the help of a Ukrainian Leleka drone. The invaders tried to disguise the mobile launcher in a forestry area.

The launcher was based on a regular trailer carrying an off-road vehicle. "I don't know what kind of vehicle it was, but the crew of Zala-421 was traveling on it. It is no longer moving," the soldier said.

The Zala-421 reconnaissance drones are manufactured by the Russian company ZALA AERO. A Leleka drone assisted in targeting an American M142 HIMARS rocket system at the Russian position.

It destroyed the launcher and the Russian off-road vehicle.
