"Old General" Grad woke up and launched a blow that caused damage to Ukraine

As the countdown to the ceasefire ended, the Russia-Ukraine front was suddenly torn apart into a suffocating void. Russian troops with BM-21 “Grad” rocket artillery systems were like a hailstorm, continuously firing with stormy power, forming a dense “steel fire network” in the air, turning the short-lived peace into a living hell.

The Grad rocket system – a veteran of the battlefield that has served for more than half a century – continues to prove its worth as 122mm shells rain down on the Ukrainian forces . After a 48-hour ceasefire, Russia has adjusted its tactics for using the Grad, doubling the density of fire, creating a devastating effect on a large scale. Photo: Top War

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the unit's surprise and well-coordinated attack caused heavy damage to the enemy, causing Ukrainian combat positions to quickly become engulfed in flames. Photo: TASS

From a tactical perspective, Russia’s sudden increase in firepower after the short ceasefire was a deep calculation. What seemed like a time to rest was actually a time for Russia to quietly redeploy its firepower, especially the Grad system, to optimize its ability to strike accurately and in a rapid manner. This approach left Ukraine unprepared. Illustration: Russian Ministry of Defense

According to the Russian Defense Ministry , Grad units were also effective in suppressing enemy artillery positions, destroying Ukrainian UAV control and deployment positions. “We destroyed enemy manpower and weapons, and supported the advance of assault groups. The force is always in a state of high combat readiness,” the commander of the Grad unit nicknamed “Dotsent” affirmed. Photo: RIA Novosti

The Russian Defense Ministry also emphasized that the effectiveness of air reconnaissance and close coordination between units ensured that the Grad artillery teams successfully completed their tasks. Photo: RIA Novosti

In this artillery barrage, the advantage of “Grad” was fully exploited: many fortifications, weapons and troops of Ukraine were destroyed, seriously reducing their combat capability. This unexpected fire of Russia also attracted great attention from the international community. Photo: RIA Novosti

Some military experts say the raid was not only aimed at gaining the initiative on the battlefield, but also at creating a favorable foundation for subsequent campaigns. At the same time, it sent a strong message to Ukraine and its Western backers: Russia will not give in easily and is ready to use all necessary means to achieve its strategic goals. Photo: TASS
