Soldiers of the 210th separate assault regiment destroyed a Russian self-propelled artillery unit 2S1 “Gvozdika” towards Zaporizhia.
The information was published via the unit’s official Telegram page.
According to the release, the target was hit by an FPV drone after a camouflaged firing position was identified. The drone operator carried out the attack with high precision, which resulted in the neutralization of the Russian device.
The published images indicate that the target is a self-propelled gun of the type 2S1 Gvozdika acted. The identification is based on design features of the system, such as the low-profile turret and the lack of a pronounced recoil mechanism above the barrel – typical elements of the model known as “Gvozdika”.
