A Ukrainian drone reconnaissance unit locates and destroys a Russian BM-21 Grad. The Grad, a Cold War-era multiple-launch rocket system, is seen firing a salvo and then displacing. The reconnaissance drone tracks the vehicle while an FPV drone is directed to intercept. The FPV drone drills down on the Grad, delivering a killing blow, with BDA recorded by the reconnaissance drone. The Russian Army began the war with both a qualitative and quantitative advantage in artillery, but the combination of modern systems donated by the west and the effective use of drones and precision munitions in the counter-battery role have allowed Ukraine to turn the table on their foe.
