Objective control data acquired by a reconnaissance UAV confirmed the target engagement. To support active actions in the area of responsibility, the mortar men pre-equipped and camouflaged their firing positions as well as a special route for the tactical use of roving mortars. ’The men are working in autonomous mode. They are quiet experienced, so there are no problems. We use all assets available including masking nets. We run into the cover after the fire is done. There are a lot of hostile FPV drones but we manage to deal with it. Our men are fine, they adopted to the situation,’ said the platoon leader with call sign ’Kong’.
