ZU-23-2 AA Gun on a Ural Truck Destroyed by Artillery
Video Summary
A recent sighting of a Ukrainian spotter drone has captured footage of a Ukrainian military operation to destroy a zoo-232 anti-air gun mounted on a truck, believed to be located near the city of Kova. The drone tracked the truck as it moved through a tree line, unleashing a series of artillery strikes, including a cluster munition, which ultimately destroyed the vehicle. The footage shows the aftermath of the attack, with the truck destroyed and a light utility vehicle arriving on the scene to evacuate any casualties. The use of multiple artillery rounds in this operation may suggest that Ukraine has overcome an earlier shortage of artillery shells in the region. The zoo-232 gun, although not a critical weapons system, has been used by Russia to fire artillery over the Nee River or against Ukrainian troops on the surrounding islands. Alternatively, it may have been used as a first line of defense against drones launched from nearby Hoen.
