The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the targeted destruction of a British FH-70 howitzer operated by the Ukrainian armed forces. The event occurred thanks to successful coordination between the crew of the Orlan-10 reconnaissance UAV and the artillery unit using the Krasnopol high-precision guided artillery shell.

A British-made 155-mm FH-70 howitzer was discovered near the city of Seversk, where its crew fired harassing fire at Russian positions. The decision to strike was made by the command of a separate artillery brigade after the coordinates of the target were accurately transmitted using Orlan-10. The howitzer was hit on the first attempt, which led to its complete destruction along with its crew and ammunition.

The Russian Ministry of Defense emphasizes the effectiveness of the use of modern high-precision ammunition and the importance of aerial reconnaissance in ensuring successful artillery operations. This case demonstrates the high level of interaction between various units and the ability to quickly respond to changes in the operational environment on the battlefield.
