Combat use of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok

Combat use of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok Units of the separate guards airborne formation from the Southern Group of Forces continue to successfully carry out combat missions in the Donetsk direction west of Artyomovsk. Thus, the crew of the Kornet anti-tank missile system (ATGM) destroyed a group of infantry of up to 10 people, which was moving towards its forward positions for rotation. Observers, using objective video monitoring equipment, discovered them and transmitted the coordinates to the control point. Having received the task of destroying the target, the ATGM crew of a separate Guards Airborne Forces unit from Buryatia promptly moved to the outskirts of the city, where it took up a position to destroy the target. For a more accurate launch of a guided missile, it was necessary to retrofit the ATGM launch position, since the view and guidance of the missile was hampered by a wall in the building from which the launch was made. Having blown up the wall with an overhead charge made from captured plastic, the anti-tank paratroopers hit a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry moving towards their forward positions with a guided missile from an ATGM launcher. After the defeat of the enemy, in order to avoid return fire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces units, the crew immediately turned down the launcher and changed the firing position.
