Here is the footage of the combat work of reconnaissance officers and crews of D-20 howitzers In the video, a reconnaissance group in the Kupyansk direction is preparing to go into combat to adjust artillery fire to the line of combat contact, equips itself and makes a forced march. From the rear area closer to the front edge. The reconnaissance group moves silently - without a single sound, any communication’s conducted via a signal system - exclusively in sign language. The reconnaissance of the West group of troops receives information about the build-up of enemy forces. Having reached the point, the group commander sets the task of secretly moving and directing fire at the temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces unit. Then the crews of the D-20 howitzers work, firing shells with a caliber of 152 millimetres, the firing rate is up to five rounds per minute, the firing range is more than 17 kilometres when fully charged. Artillerymen conduct counter-battery combat, destroy MLRS, mortar crews and other targets sent by scouts. And this happens almost around the clock, in any weather. Artillerymen call it just work, but after spending several hours in position, one can realise how difficult it is. The gunners’ task is to be ready to hit the target at given coordinates at any moment. Military personnel risk their lives every second. After completing the assigned task, while retreating from the position, the trailing group notices the approach of the enemy and begins a shooting battle. As a result, all goals are achieved, and the group returnes to the temporary deployment point without losses. Join Military Wave Источник: Military Wave
