Artillery units of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces continue to successfully eliminate Russian troops, inflicting significant losses in personnel and equipment in the Donetsk region, according to the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Donbas heatwave. Migrant workers from Russia suffered heat strokes and laid down to rest," the paratroopers' message reads.

The released footage captures the effective work of Ukrainian artillery targeting Russian military equipment and personnel. A strike destroyed a self-propelled artillery system, a howitzer, and enemy manpower.

One of the episodes shows an enemy ammunition depot burning after a precise fire hit. In another, Russian infantry attempts to take cover in a forested area, but Ukrainian artillery delivers a precise strike on their position.

Recently, soldiers from the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade showcased how they struck enemy artillery positions in the Zaporizhzhia direction.

In early May, reconnaissance troops from Ukraine’s Chornyi Lis (Black Forest) brigade demonstrated the destruction of a Russian Buk-M3 air defense system, worth more than $40 million.
