The Russian self-propelled artillery unit was located hiding among some trees before Ukrainian forces struck.
Images released by Ukrainian military officials reportedly show the moment Ukrainian forces located and destroyed a Russian self-propelled artillery unit hiding among some trees.
With artillery shells landing near it, Ukrainian forces then appear to open fire. Eventually, one of them appears to score a direct hit, blowing the enemy unit to smithereens. The 40th Separate Artillery Brigade is usually based in Pervomaisk, a city in the Mykolaiv Oblast region of southern Ukraine. Self-propelled artillery units are typically mobile military vehicles that look like tanks but have much longer guns. They often have caterpillar tracks but usually take part in long-range bombardment support operations when on the battlefield.
