“They worked with a high-precision guided projectile M982 Excalibur of 155 mm calibre. It can be fired from any modern NATO standard artillery system. For example, from the American howitzer M777 or the French CAESAR.”

It added: “Excalibur hits targets at a distance of up to 70 km. It has satellite navigation, which means that the target does not need to be illuminated with a laser for an accurate shot. It is only necessary to know its coordinates. They are reconnoitred, in particular, with the help of UAVs ‘Leleka-100’.

“At the expense of thousands of benefactors, “Come Back Alive” has purchased 25 such UAVs for the army for 1,440,000 UAH each. The complex consists of two aircraft and a ground station. It corrects artillery strikes to a depth of 50 km.”

People commented on the footage on Twitter.

“Excalibur is epic,” one person said.
