According to Ukrainian defenders, a new hunt for Russian equipment took place in the Lyman direction.

The "Khortytsia" OSUV draws attention to the fact that this time a rather rare specimen was tracked down and destroyed.

As it turned out, the Russian invaders installed a Smerch-2 naval bombardment system on a Ural vehicle and hid it in the forests in the Lymansky direction.

Fighters from the "Steel Lions" unmanned systems battalion destroyed this weaponry with the help of large night drones.

What is important to understand is that the RBU-6000 "Smerch-2" is a Soviet rocket-propelled grenade launcher used to destroy enemy submarines and attacking torpedoes.

It has a stationary installation with 12 radially arranged 213 mm barrels. The installation was adopted by the USSR Navy in 1961.
