Russian artillery is renowned for its formidable firepower. During the special military operation in Ukraine, artillery plays a key role in both offensive and defensive operations.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of the combat work of Russian artillerymen. D-20 howitzer crews wiped out Ukrainian fortifications and eliminated enemy military personnel.
