The Adam tactic group published the footage of the defeat. Aerial reconnaissance of the 79th Air Assault Brigade discovered a Russian BM-27 Uragan MLRS at a firing position 25 kilometers from the front line. The Russian artillery system was destroyed by the pilots of the Adam tactic group's drones, who successfully hit the Russian system using an FPV drone with a powerful warhead.

"This multiple rocket launcher came to a firing position and managed to launch three missiles... There was no detonation after the hit, so it was most likely already empty, but given the warhead on the drone, it will need to be repaired!" the soldiers said. The Uragan MLRS can use HE-FRAG, chemical, explosive or scatterable mine submunition equipped rockets and can engage targets within a range of 35 kilometers, so it is often used by the invaders to fire behind the front line for counter-battery or mining purposes. However, given the location of the destroyed vehicle, it can be assumed that it was firing at Ukrainian positions located directly on the line of contact.

A 25-kilometer zone in the rear of the enemy has already become operational for strike drones thanks to the development of FPV drone technologies and communication technologies. The area of operation of the FPV drones covers all possible firing positions of such Russian artillery systems as D-20 and D-30 howitzers, 2S1 Gvozdika and 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled guns, and Grad multiple rocket launchers. In addition, to operate deep into Ukrainian territory, Uragan MLRSs are also forced to enter this zone.

A week earlier, a Ukrainian HIMARS destroyed a Russian transport and load vehicle with ammunition for the Uragan MLRS. The Ukrainian military used the US HIMARS rocket system to destroy the vehicle.

Its precision-guided munition hit the vehicle.

The vehicle's crew and other invaders who were nearby were probably killed or injured.
