Russia has said that it has taken out Ukrainian troops using a multiple-launch rocket system.
The footage shows a Russian Uragan multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) repeatedly opening fire on unseen targets before the video cuts to a Russian soldier talking to the camera in front of one of the vehicles.
The images were obtained from the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Wednesday, 22nd May, along with a statement claiming (in English): “Uragan MLRS crew of Sever Group of Forces thwarts AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine] counter-attack.”
The Russian MoD added: “Russian artillery launched strikes at the enemy’s assault groups with 220-mm projectiles. The AFU losses amounted to up to 30 Ukrainian troops.
“‘The guys are in a great mood. All tasks are carried out on time. The morale is always high,’ said the Uragan battery executive officer call sign Tekhas.”
We have not been able to independently verify the claims or the footage.
