Ukrainian Drones Hunt Down Russian Uragan Reload Vehicle 40 km Behind Front Line

Ukrainian drone operators from the National Guard unit Lasar’s Group destroyed a Russian 9T452 transport-loader vehicle belonging to a BM-27 Uragan multiple launch rocket system complex in the Luhansk region, according to footage and statements released by the unit in early May.

According to Lasar’s Group, the strike targeted a concentration area of Russian military equipment located approximately 30–40 kilometers from the front line. The operation reportedly took place in mid-April.

The unit said analysts and aerial reconnaissance crews identified the Russian vehicles before transmitting coordinates to strike drone operators. Heavy bomber-type drones were then used to engage the targets.

Among the destroyed assets was a fully loaded 9T452 transport-loader vehicle used to resupply BM-27 Uragan rocket launchers. Lasar’s Group stated that the vehicle was carrying ammunition at the time of the strike, triggering a secondary explosion that led to its destruction.

The strike also destroyed two Russian military trucks and damaged a command-and-staff vehicle positioned nearby.

The BM-27 Uragan is a Soviet-designed 220 mm multiple launch rocket system capable of firing rockets at distances of up to 35 kilometers, depending on the munition type. The 9T452 reload vehicle is used to transport and load rockets onto the launcher system.

Earlier, Ukraine’s 1st Corps “Azov” reported conducting AI-assisted deep-strike drone operations against Russian military logistics routes leading to occupied Mariupol. According to the unit, drone crews targeted trucks, fuel tankers, and ammunition transport vehicles at distances of up to 160 kilometers behind the front line, including areas near the Azovstal steel plant.
