If not for partial mobilization, a native of the Kuban with the call sign "Beard" would still be in the Donbass. Being a builder by profession, he was already going to go to the DPR with another mission - to restore the cities destroyed by the bombing and artillery attack of neo-Nazis. Well, after defeating the ukroreich, he will do this. In the meantime, the professional skills of a serviceman are also used on the line of contact in the Donetsk operational direction.

However, the personnel of the motorized rifle unit not only equip their strongholds and are on duty, but also work out skills in the “science of winning” at the training ground located in the rear area of the NMD. These skills will come in handy when the appropriate order follows.

The mobilized serviceman is confident that, together with his new comrades, he will successfully solve all the tasks set by the command. There is no other way: behind him is the Motherland, parents, close people.

15:15 UR-77 "Meteorite" clears the way for "winged infantry" near Kremennaya -video

As the commander of the engineering company with the call sign "Cigara" said, the firing range of the installation can reach 500 meters. UR-77 has two charges 96 meters long, each of which contains more than a ton of plastic explosive.

In the conditions of modern warfare, when the enemy is equipped with the most modern weapons, this technique is simply irreplaceable, the paratroopers believe. “Human lives come first. The sapper himself does not go to the minefield. Since thermal imagers are everywhere, this is not safe, so remote demining is better," says the commander of an engineer company.

By the way, not only minefields, but also enemy defenders can fall under the impact of the mines. The sappers of the Airborne Forces have repeatedly used the installation to perform tasks unusual for it, and, as experience has shown, the UR-77 copes with enemy fortifications just as well.
