MOSCOW, June 1. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry uploaded a video clip showing Uragan multiple launch rocket systems striking Ukrainian camouflaged combat hardware.
"The Defense Ministry of Russia posted clips showing the teams of Uragan multiple launch rocket systems fulfilling firing tasks during the special military operation," the ministry said in a comment to the video.
In fulfilling their assigned missions, the Uragan teams received reconnaissance information supplied by Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicles, it said.
"After receiving the target data, the battery moved into its firing position and delivered a strike against the enemy’s camouflaged armor and stronghold, using the reconnaissance data provided by the Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicles," the ministry added.
The strike by Uragan multiple rocket launchers was delivered by the teams of Russia’s Central Military District, subsequently wiping out the Ukrainian army’s armored vehicles, manpower and firepower, the ministry said.
The 220mm Uragan multiple launch rocket system is designed to strike enemy manpower and armor on the march and in amassment areas, cripple command posts and military infrastructure sites at a distance of 10 km to 35 km. Put into service in 1975, the rocket systems boast a high maneuverability and are able to be rapidly deployed. Russia’s Uragan underwent its baptism of fire in Afghanistan and was employed during the Chechen campaigns and in Syria.
