The calculation of the 130-mm M-46 cannon of the Russian Army hit the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) at the time of the delivery of personnel and ammunition in the Kharkov direction of the special military operation zone. The corresponding footage is published by Izvestia on April 17.

"Calculations are fast. In less than two minutes, the projectile will fly to the target. It is 17 km away: aerial reconnaissance detected the arrival of enemy ammunition," said Izvestia correspondent Tatiana Simonenkova.

After the artillery salvo, the objective control of the 79th motorized Rifle regiment of the 11th Army Corps confirmed the defeat of these targets. The fulfillment of this task led to a further successful offensive by the Russian infantry.

"The enemy was gaining a foothold in the house. I brought ammunition and personnel there. Our battery started firing at them, destroyed several militants and disabled the equipment. Thus, we did not allow the enemy to replenish their forces, ammunition, and provisions," said the commander of a howitzer self—propelled artillery battery with the call sign Amigo.

Most often, the targets of Russian artillery are enemy dugouts and shelters, said the commander of the M-46 cannon with the call sign Vorkuta. The enemy also has a significant number of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) take-off points. Baba Yaga-type drones and fiber-optic drones are launched into the air from them.

"Our intelligence service calculates where the takeoff is coming from, and we work it out. There is a defeat, and not just one," Vorkuta added.
