The Defense Forces of Ukraine used the BM-27 “Uragan” 220-mm anti-aircraft missile system during the liberation of Zmiiny Island on May 4, 2022. The uniqueness of the event is that for this Ukrainian fighters had to place a car on a barge and fire literally from the sea.
“It turned out to be difficult to tune in – not hard, but swinging. The idea was to check whether it makes sense to shoot from such a thing. Because the island is small, it is difficult to hit it, like five kopecks. As a result, 11 of the 16 shells landed on the island. We understand, there is a sense,” said a marine who took part in the release of Zmiiny for the Dumskaya publication.
We will remind you that the Defense Forces completely liberated the island from the Russian presence on June 30, 2022.
