Russia's Ministry of Defense has published footage that shows the anti-tank Rapira cannon destroying Ukrainian mortar and tanks. Artillerymen often dub Rapira a “sniper rifle” for its preciseness and reliability. This cannon can fire up to six rounds in a minute and destroy targets at seven kilometers.
Kiev's counteroffensive started a month ago and ran into stalwart Russian fortifications. Ukrainian forces failed to breach the defensive line, sacrificing personnel and losing a considerable number of tanks and armored vehicles.
