These images show the moment a Russian multiple rocket launcher vehicle appears to fire at Ukrainian targets.

The footage shows one of these vehicles, sporting a white ‘Z’ on its side, being deployed before it appears to acquire a target. It then fires, apparently hitting its target.

It is currently unclear where exactly the footage was shot but the images were obtained from the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) on the evening of Sunday, 12th June.

The Russian MoD said that the images show a ‘Smerch’ MLRS in action. The BM-30 Smerch is a heavy multiple rocket launcher originally built in the Soviet Union.
