Russian MLRS strike as seen from a drone.

Pretty interesting.  I can’t tell what type of MLRS they are using. If you look closely toward the end, you can spot what appears to be people fleeing the impact area.

    Very interesting perspective. I just talked about Russian employment of Fire Strikes in Ukraine with my team this AM for training. This is no-kidding a high threat. The OPFOR have a couple of fire strikes available per fight, and we plan on destroying about 1.5 platoons per strike, and more if they violate basic principles of dispersion and cover. Not only does this reinforce considerations of survivability but gives battalion leadership a significant problem to work when he suddenly loses half a company in one fell swoop.

    Russian artillery in Ukraine, using a combination of tube artillery and MLRS, has, several times, caught Ukraine battalions of armor concentrated, and literally decimated them.
    Ukraine can’t mass to attack without drawing heavy artillery attack. That makes any counterattacks in the east very hard to conduct.

    I’m Tracking the high lethality and we are looking at that theater closely for relevant TTPs. We are keeping the effectiveness down purely so that we get the maneuver fight as well. We can AAR the event either way.

    The short range appears to indicate the TOS-1 system as MRLs used. The bright and rather long-lasting explosions fit to its thermobaric munitions.
