The commander of the MLRS "Grad" noted the increased frequency of artillery work of the Russian Armed Forces

Multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) "Grad" of the 5th brigade of the 51st Donetsk Army of the Southern Military District destroy area targets with fire - from the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to their transport on the roads. Russian military personnel spoke about working with the Grads.

According to the commander of the combat vehicle with the call sign Malek, they are now working more often than last year, although not as much as at the beginning of their operation. Malek himself shared with Izvestia that he hails from the occupied part of Ukraine, came to Donbass and joined the militia in 2015, on the front line from the first day of the special operation.

"When there's an offensive, when there's a sea of fire, the adrenaline goes through the roof, such episodes are memorable. The conditions have changed," says Malek.

The deputy platoon commander with the call sign Svarog reported on the main objectives: concentrations of infantry and light equipment, enemy rotations. Those are the area targets that can be quickly covered with a salvo of multiple rocket launchers.

"We rarely have counter-battery work either. But now their artillery has rolled back and is almost not working. Basically, the enemy uses drones: kamikaze during the day, Baba Yaga at night, and sometimes kamikaze, too," Svarog said.
