MOSCOW, May 30. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry uploaded video footage of Grad multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) hammering Ukrainian manpower and equipment in the Krasny Liman area during the special military operation in Ukraine.

"The teams of Grad MLRS from the battlegroup Center deliver accurate rocket strikes against the sites of the Ukrainian army’s amassed manpower and light armored equipment in the Krasny Liman direction. After getting target coordinates from reconnaissance teams and capabilities, they advance to the launch site and make a salvo of 122mm rockets against the enemy several minutes after that," the ministry said in a comment.

The Defense Ministry highlighted the well-coordinated efforts by artillery teams from Russia’s Central Military District. In addition, the Russian troops’ maneuverability saves the personnel and equipment from potential retaliatory strikes, it stressed.
