The Russians set up a mortar firing position at the border between the forest and the field near the road in the temporarily occupied territory. The authors of the video did not say what weapon was used to hit the Russian mortar, but it is clear that it was hit by a high-precision projectile – possibly fired from a HIMARS.
The impact ignited and exploded Russian 240 mm mortar shells, and the Tiulpan was completely destroyed.
The footage shows that the Russian artillery position was likely detected by a reconnaissance drone, which helped pinpoint the mortar’s location and adjust its fire.
