The military reported that hostile equipment was destroyed thanks to the joint work of artillerymen 406 of the Separate Artillery Brigade named after Alexei Diamozov and 74 separate reconnaissance battalion. Defense forces destroyed the enemy self -propelled mortar "Tulip", which was in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. About it reports the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "Liquidation of enemy 2C4, 240 mm of self-propelled tulip, is said in the message.

It is stated that this is the joint work of the artillerymen 406 of the separate artillery brigade named after Alexei Diamozov and 74 separate reconnaissance battalion. The experience gained during the Second World War caused the development of the Tulip system. The military actions of that time showed the importance of having a powerful remedy for the destruction of strong fortifications.

As a result It was decided to increase the mobility of the system by installing it on a self -propelled chassis. In 1971, 2C4 "Tulip" was adopted, which was supplied to the elite artillery parts The implementation of nuclear blows with its help. In general, the tactical and technical characteristics of the self-propelled mortar 2C4 "Tulip": the main danger of 2C4 "tulip" is its characteristic as a mortar, which means that ammunition flies on a high trajectory.

This type of shooting is great for urban fighting, as it makes it possible to fire, protecting the buildings of multi -storey buildings. At the same time, 240 mm mortar mine contains a considerable amount of explosive substance-about 32 kg. To understand the scale, a regular 152 mm large -caliber artillery contains approximately 7. 5 kg of explosives. Thus, the firing capacity of one shot from Tulip is at times higher than the usual large caliber artillery shells.

We will remind, earlier the Ukrainian military accurately destroyed the Russian tank from the warehouse of the 291th Regiment of the 42nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division in the Zaporozhye direction. Judging by the photos, two Russian tankers burned alive after the explosion. Ukrainian military journalist Yuri Butusov, having analyzed the pictures, noted that the so -called "barbecue" was installed on the tank - protection against the missiles of the Javelin complex.

The system, in the case of lesions, complicates the exit from the tank. For this reason, only the commander managed to escape. And the gunner and mechanic-driver were burned alive. And on July 14, it became known that the SBU's military counterintelligence had eliminated three units of heavy armored vehicles, including T-90M and T-90.
