The second MLRS was located in the same area thanks to a careful analysis of Russian positions. The invaders had tried to hide the equipment under cover, but it was destroyed nonetheless.

"Enemy assets were effectively struck by Lasar's heavy bombers. After the first successful hits, one of the occupiers tried to save a Grad that was already burning, but hearing the sound of the Baba-Yaga system, panicked and fled into nearby cover. In the end, both MLRS were destroyed," the report said.
