Hyacinth-S missiles destroyed an AFU UAV control center in the SSE zone

Soldiers of the artillery crew of the 152-millimeter self-propelled gun "Hyacinth-S" of the Vostok group of troops have destroyed a control point for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the zone of the special military operation (SMO). This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry on December 20.

It is specified that the artillerymen received coordinates from Russian Orlan-30 UAVs, after which they made a gun pointing and hit the target, which was located in a forest belt and camouflaged, with a cursory fire.

"Mostly working on fortifications, on manpower. Pontoon crossings of some kind there. Far shoots, you can roll up and far away there, behind the front, to throw," - said the commander of the gun with the call sign Slavyan.

As the Defense Ministry pointed out, the calculations of self-propelled guns "Hyacinth-S" work every day and even at night. They perform firing tasks to destroy enemy positions, as well as conduct counter-battery warfare and disrupt the rotation of AFU fighters.
