German-designed Vector UAV strikes at Russian Grad system
The Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian Grad multiple rocket launcher system by adjusting the strike with a Vector drone.
Here's What We Know
The video of the destruction of the system was published by the Aeronauts aerial reconnaissance unit. The Russian system was found in a car park along with an ammunition truck.
The Vector UAV identified the target and transmitted the coordinates to the artillery, which destroyed both the system and the ammunition truck along with enemy personnel with an accurate strike. After the hit, the Grad caught fire and the missiles began to detonate and fly out of control.
As a result of the strike, the system was severely damaged, which probably makes it impossible to restore it.
Due to the limited range, Russian Grad MLRSs have to approach the positions of the Ukrainian Defence Forces by 15-20 km, which increases the likelihood of their detection and destruction. Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, the loss of such systems, according to the Oryx OSINT project, has amounted to 266 units.
