Ukrainian forces 'pick-off Russian artillery' in open field

MOMENT Ukrainian forces 'pick-off Russian artillery' in open field warfare.

This aerial footage appears to show blast after blast hitting Russian artillery positions on an open field in Ukraine.

The video, from the 59th Motorised Brigade, shows targets going up in flames.

"This deadly machine - a long-range 152-millimetre howitzer - brought by the Russians to our land to kill Ukrainians, is now lying in a pile of scrap, littering the Ukrainian field. Along with it, several 122-millimetre D-30 installations were distributed by our soldiers.

Russia troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is now calling a "special military operation" to "protect Donbass". Today marks the 76th day of the invasion.

From 24th February to 10th May, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at around 26,000 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
