Russian artillery units from the Vostok group employed D-30 howitzers to strike Ukrainian positions in the Zaporozhye region. Aerial reconnaissance drones identified camouflaged enemy strongholds, providing precise coordinates for the artillery crews. The strikes dismantled defensive structures and eliminated Ukrainian personnel, with real-time fire adjustment conducted via drone to ensure effectiveness. This operation has reportedly hindered Ukrainian defensive capabilities, facilitating advances by Russian assault units in the area.
