Russian Ground Based Surveillance System Catches Artillery Round

Drone video released by Ukrainian forces captures the moment a Russian ground based surveillance system is destroyed by accurate Ukrainian artillery fire.


This system appears to be a Russian attempt at the American GBOSS system. For those who don't know, GBOSS is an acronym that stands for ground based operational surveillance system. If you were an American that served in the Global War on Terror, then you're probably already intimately familiar with the system, which was used to greatly reduce the IED threat near American bases of operations in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia.


Pro-tip for the Russians, if you're going to camouflage something, don't just paint it green and call it a day. Nature doesn't make flat surfaces, and they stick out like a sore thumb.
