Rocket event in Ukraine on Thu 29th February 2024

For The Third Time In A Week, Russian Troops Paraded Within Range Of Ukraine’s HIMARS Launchers—And Rockets Rained On The Parade On Tuesday, Russian troops from the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade gathered out in the open for an inspection, in broad daylight, within range of the Ukrainian army’s American-made High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems. The results, for the ill-starred 155th Brigade—a unit the Ukrainians have destroyed several times, compelling the Russians to rebuild it several times—were predictable. A Ukrainian drone spotted the marines in their formation in Olenivka, eight miles east of the front line in eastern Ukraine. Two Ukrainian M30/31 GPS-guided rockets rained down, each blasting 182,000 lethal tungsten balls across the parade grounds. Reportedly, 19 Russians died including a colonel and two other officers. The brigade commander, Col. Mikhail Gudkov, was wounded.
