A Ukrainian drone unit used a 'special munition' to go on a strike blitz, hitting 230 Russian artillery guns in 2 days

An elite Ukrainian drone unit said on Tuesday that it had used a new anti-howitzer munition to destroy over 170 pieces of Russian artillery within two days.

The Lasar Group, part of the National Guard of Ukraine, said in a statement that the special operation in early June involved over 800 drones deployed along the war's eastern and southern fronts.

"As a result, 231 enemy artillery pieces were hit, 171 of them destroyed. This is equivalent to roughly 10 to 14 artillery battalions, or about three artillery brigades," the group wrote.

It published multiple clips of overhead drone footage that appear to show fortified, camouflaged howitzer and gun positions coming under attack.
