Ukrainian forces have successfully destroyed a Russian 2S5 Giatsint S self propelled artillery system in a well coordinated strike. The operation, carried out by the Aeronauts unit, was guided by aerial reconnaissance from the Shark UAV, ensuring precise targeting and devastating impact.
The Giatsint S, with a firing range exceeding 33 kilometres, is often positioned far from the front lines by Russian forces. However, despite their efforts to conceal the system within a tree line, Ukrainian operators swiftly detected its location. Using the advanced capabilities of the Shark UAV, they relayed the coordinates, enabling a direct and effective strike.
Footage released by the unit captures the moment of destruction as the artillery system is hit, likely triggering an explosion of its onboard ammunition. The attack eliminated a major threat, reinforcing the effectiveness of Ukraine’s reconnaissance and precision strike capabilities.
This incident serves as further proof that no amount of camouflage or distance can guarantee Russian forces safety from Ukraine’s advanced surveillance and firepower. Ukrainian aerial superiority continues to dismantle Russian military assets, showcasing the effectiveness of modern drone warfare and precise artillery coordination.
