The Russian military wanted to show off the accuracy of the Solntsepyok heavy fire system, but something went wrong. True, they still passed it off as a success.

What is known

Russian propagandists used the Solntsepyok TOS to shell the village of Dolgenkoe in the Kharkiv region and filmed it. Fire correction is performed using an unmanned aerial vehicle that transmits coordinates. The video shows how eight rockets were fired at the settlements.

The drone must record hits by coordinates. However, none of the missiles hit the target, which was captured by the drone's camera. To show the impact sites, the UAV operator had to change the zoom from the camera.

Recall that recently TOS "Solntsepyok" was lit up in another video of Russian propaganda. Then the correspondent praised the system for several minutes, after which the Ukrainian artillery covered the area with fire.
