On May 16, the Ukrainian side recorded the facts of the use of a jet infantry flamethrower by armed formations of the Russian Federation. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
In particular, the occupiers opened fire with high-explosive ammunition in the direction of the settlement of Katerynovka, Donetsk region.
This type of weapon allows effective firing at a range of up to 600 m, and at the point of explosion, the warhead detonates, forming a fire cloud with a volume of 120 cubic meters. Such flamethrowers are in service with the Russian army and were used during the first and second Chechen wars, special operations in Dagestan and Ingushetia, and now in Ukraine.
This case is another evidence of Russia's open supply of weapons and military equipment to the territory of ORDLO with the aim of escalating the conflict.
The Ukrainian side of the SCCC promptly informed the OSCE SMM about all recorded violations of the Minsk Agreements by the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
