🪖These artillerymen, with the callsigns ‘Ptakha’ and ‘Bonya’, are brothers. They destroy enemy equipment using the Grad multiple rocket launcher.

After hitting their targets, the soldiers try to leave the firing position as quickly as possible because the enemy can respond very fast. ‘There are situations where we don't even pack our bags. About a kilometer, or a kilometer and a half away, we can start packing up,’ says ‘Ptakha’.

These artillerymen have replaced their father in this war—he was sent back home. There was no question about which one of them would go to the front. Their parents instilled in them a love for their homeland.

A new film about these artillerymen is currently being prepared by our war correspondents, Olga Kiry and Mikhail Burov. The premiere is coming soon; don't miss it!
