Works without fail: paratroopers of the Armed Forces told about the work of howitzer L119

According to the military, in the area of ​​Novomykhailivka there are constantly assault actions, but despite this ammunition is not enough for fighters. The Ukrainian army has an armed British trailer gun L119. In the report, the Armyinform showed how how are used by howitsa artillerymen of the 79th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade. The fighters stood in the Novomikhailivka area, where two Russian brigades and four regiments were coming to storm the positions of the military daily.

The report was published on April 30, but recorded it last week, noted in the publication. When the journalists arrived at the position, the front was "buzzing from drones and shells". "We are already used to - here as Boryspil Airport," one of the fighters said laughing. During communication, the military noted that their work depends on the supply of ammunition. So while they were unloaded, reporters were offered coffee.

The gun commander Yaroslav previously worked in the police, but in 2022 he went to the Armed Forces. At first, Yaroslav worked as a driver, but later he was on the Soviet gun D-30. However, he liked the British L119. It is more effective, but also requires a shorter distance to the enemy. "The gun is simpler, but it does not mean that you do not need to work your head.

Even the Nativ ammunition has a certain error, and it can be in one batch of flights 50 meters - depending on the brand, so I write down everything, I keep calculations," Yaroslav said. He also added that a shortage deficit is still present. Previously, they could work all day, and now they are smaller. The gunner Stepan also started at D-30, worked at the calculation of a mortar of 120 mm caliber, and L119 already mastered in a "working environment".

According to him, he still remembers his first destroyed dance. "The shells are not just small, there are shells 78-79 years old. New - one in the other. And with the old pile "I am gone, only the powder is so bracked that the taste in the mouth remains," - said Stepan. We will remind, on April 17 in the United Kingdom, an explosion at the Bae Sysyms, which is repairing Ukrainian artillery, has shone in the UK.
