Ukrainian forces destroyed a rare Russian military system on the Lyman axis, the 63rd Separate Mechanized Brigade reported on Feb. 11.
According to Ukrainian troops, they managed to take down a naval bomb launcher—specifically, the 213 mm RBU-6000 Smerch-2, which the occupying forces had mounted on a truck chassis.
“The system is designed to destroy enemy torpedoes and submarines. It was first adopted into service in the 1960s,” the brigade said.
The bombs weigh 113.6 kilograms and can reach speeds of up to 300 meters per second, with a maximum strike range of 5,230 meters. The system is equipped with 12 radially arranged barrels.
By mounting the Smerch-2 on a Ural truck, Russian forces failed to account for Ukrainian pilots and their nighttime drones, the 63rd Brigade noted.
