Crews of the 122mm BM-21 Grad multiple launch rocket systems of the Vostok group of forces daily destroy defensive structures, equipment and fire weapons of the enemy in the South Donetsk direction. They also strike along possible approach routes for Ukrainian Armed Forces units.

“Different combat missions come. We hit lightly armored vehicles, Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry, and strongholds. I didn’t really count how many goals I had in a year and a half, the cars are different, and the goals come with different ones too. The task came and was completed. On average it takes four to five minutes to reach the target. The drive on all machines works, aiming is carried out quickly. We quickly fold up and change positions,” says the senior officer of the rocket battery with the call sign “Volga.”
The crews try to destroy the targets with the first shot.
“There are adjustments, but very rarely, mostly we get it right the first time. My father served, so I followed in my father’s footsteps. I have a lot of relatives, everyone wants a speedy return with victory,” said Nikolai, gunner of the 122mm BM-21 Grad MLRS.
