The units of Russia’s Battlegroup South repelled the attacks of the assault groups of the Ukrainian armed forces in the directions of Lisichansk, Aleksandr-Kalinovsk and Soledar-Artyomovsk, head of the group’s press center Vadim Astafyev said.







"The units of the Battlegroup South successfully repelled the attacks of the assault groups of the Ukrainian armed forces in the directions of Lisichansk, Aleksandr-Kalinovsk and Soledar-Artemovsk," he said.


According to him, artillery near the village of Ivano-Daryevka destroyed an infantry fighting vehicle of the enemy. During the counter-battery fight, two 155-mm Krab self-propelled artillery mounts were destroyed near the village of Dyleevka and the city of Seversk, as well as a 155-mm M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer near the city of Krasnogorovka, D-30, D-20 howitzers and a 120-mm mortar in areas of settlements Karlovka, Umanskoe and Avdeevka.


The artillery crews of the group destroyed an enemy pickup truck and pillbox in the areas of Avdeyevka and Nevelskoye settlements.


According to Astafyev, the crews of army aviation helicopters hit targets in the areas of the villages of Kleshcheevka and Andreevka. Assault aircraft carried out missile and bomb attacks on enemy targets in the areas of the villages of Kurdyumovka, Bogdanovka, Avdeyevka and Mayorskoye.



Watch Russian Nona-SVK Blast Ukrainian Mortars and BMPs







The Russian Armed Forces often use self-propelled artillery systems such as Nona-SVK for high-precision fire to destroy roving mortars and enemy infantry fighting vehicles.


The Russian Defense Ministry has released video footage of Nona-SVK crews taking out Ukrainian armored vehicles near Krasny Liman, DPR.


Servicemen from the Central Military District's Mountain Motorized Rifle Unit obtained coordinates from reconnaissance and, using 120-mm guns, blasted enemy targets. The soldiers used high-explosive fragmentation and thermobaric shells. To effectively carry out their mission, the artillerymen closely coordinated their efforts with drone calculations, enabling swift adjustments and valuable assessments of the actual combat situation.


The Nona-SVK self-propelled artillery system is designed to suppress various armored targets and incoming firepower. In addition, the unit is able to use smoke screens and apply night lighting.
