Quote: "Maximum damage worth millions of dollars and a detonating rocket payload – thanks to an FPV drone costing a few hundred dollars and the priceless work of UAV pilots from the 63rd Separate Mechanised Brigade."

Details: The date of the successful strike was not disclosed.

The 220 mm Solntsepyok system fires thermobaric munitions, demolishes fortifications and creates a saturation fire zone that the Russians use to pressure Ukrainian defences and support their offensive operations.
