The commanders set up the Russian military.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully hit a group of Russian occupiers during exercises at the training ground for the sixth time in eight months.

According to Forbes, the most recent strike apparently took place this week, at an outdoor gun range in the Zaporizhzhia region in southern Ukraine, with a M30/31 rocket from the HIMARS MLRS, filled with 400 submunitions.

“A Ukrainian surveillance drone observed around 15 Russian soldiers practicing with their weapons—and passed along the coordinates to elements of the 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade, the Ukrainian army's sole unit operating American-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems launchers,” the publication says.

It is added that the first rocket scored a direct hit, and the occupiers’ death toll could be catastrophic for the targeted unit.

Forbes stresses that Russian troops routinely conduct training out in the open within range of Ukraine’s best American-made rockets. This risky practice reflects a lack of professionalism in an army that’s been losing more than a thousand people every day on average in Ukraine.

“There’s much more evidence of Ukrainian strikes on exposed Russian trainees than there is evidence of Russian strikes on exposed Ukrainian trainees,” stated in the article. “Sloppy and inexperienced Russian commanders might be at fault. But it’s also possible the commanders just don’t care whether their trainees are in danger,” Forbes writes.
