During the massive storms of the Russian troops, Marinka's artillery officers worked day and night to repel attacks. Within the framework of military assistance, Ukraine received the L119 Goubitsa Party. Artillerymen in the Marinskaya direction told about the exploitation of artillery. About it reports the Armyinform. In one of the artillery units of landing troops, they told about work on 105 mm howitzers L119.

The military says that the same weapons are used by British and US military for fire support for airmobile units or light infantry. According to a gun commander, junior sergeant Alexander, in 10 months almost daily use of L119 has never been failed. Alexander himself went to the front voluntarily and in December 2022 he, together with his brothers, was sent to the training center, where they studied at L119.

The process went quickly, so on December 31 the military was already sent "New Year's gifts" by the occupiers. "During the shot you will hardly see the flames from the barrel, and its small size and weight allow the calculation forces to quickly pick up the gun from the fire position, roll under trees or shelter and easily mask. L119 is more accurate than such Russian (Soviet) analogues A more modern guidance system, but also more demanding for maintenance, ”Alexander continues.

He also added that during the recent storms of the Russian invaders of Marinka they made 503 shots in 3 days. The military said that despite the widespread opinion that the 105-mm gun was not capable of destroying the tank, its calculation managed to do so. "A few months ago at about second in the morning we got coordinates to open a fire. Performing a combat mission, we masked the gun and returned to shelter.
