The first thing we started was to shoot from machine guns. They hit one car from a machine gun burst, I see that there is little result, I began to shoot with direct fire. The gun was already loaded with me, then another shell was loaded, another vehicle was destroyed. The final one is the enemy infantry fighting vehicle, ”said the intelligence chief of the howitzer artillery battalion.
