Why It Matters
In the northwestern military zone, the activity of enemy drones forces artillery units to change tactics, moving to covert advances and quick withdrawal after a salvo.
Crews of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) "Grad" in the SVO zone covertly advance to firing positions and promptly roll back to cover after hitting targets. “Red Star” spoke about the use of MLRS by the Northern Fleet Marine Brigade in the Dobropol direction.
It is noted that the activity of drones has changed the tactics of the MLRS. The artillerymen strike as quickly as possible and go into cover before returning fire.
“The BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket system cannot be called a sniper weapon when hunting an enemy; rather, it can be compared to a huge shotgun, the salvo of which easily covers enemy positions with an area of several football fields,” the publication says.
As the publication writes, the MLRS crew rarely uses a full package of shells. A few hits are enough to destroy enemy equipment or strongholds.
