MOSCOW, September 12 – RIA Novosti. The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage of the combat work of the Central Military District reconnaissance group, which destroyed the Ukrainian mortar crews in the Kharkiv region during a special operation.

During the search and reconnaissance operations, it was recorded that a mortar crew of the Ukrainian army was found by Sergeant Vitaliy.

He reported this to the commander of the subgroup, and then he was tasked with destroying the mortar crew. With the help of a silent sniper rifle, manpower was destroyed.

“Mortar team destroyed, i.e. mission accomplished. It was necessary to destroy the mortar team for the rest of the group to start moving, because they blocked the passage along the specified route,” the sergeant said.

Published images show how snipers pass through forests and forest edges, take positions and open fire.
