The Russian military is reportedly hunting the remaining nationalists of the Azov Battalion in the Azovstal steel plant near the city of Mariupol with guided heavy mortar rounds.
On May 13, a photo showing a Russian 2S4 Tyulpan 240 mm self-propelled heavy mortar firing a 1K113 Smelchak laser-guided round at the Azovstal plant surfaced online. Hundreds of Azov nationalists, many of whom are wounded, are still holding up inside the plant despite running low on food, water and ammunition.

The Smelchak 240 mm mortar round, which is guided by a semi-active laser, can be fired by the 2S4 Tyulpan or the towed M240 mortar. The round has a range of 9.2 kilometers and a warhead of 21 kg of high explosive.
A land-based laser designator is usually used to illuminate targets for the Smelchak. However, drones equipped with designators can be also used for that task.
Smelchak rounds are likely being used to target fortified positions and reinforced buildings in the Azovstal plant where Azov nationalists are talking shelter.
The Russian military operates other types of guided mortar and artillery rounds, like the 152 mm Krasnopol round or the Kitolov-2 and 2M mortar and artillery shells that can be fired from 120 and 122 guns, respectively. All of these rounds are guided by semi-active laser, just like the Smelchak.
The use of precision-guided mortar and artillery rounds allows the Russian military to hit military targets in urban areas with high precisions from a safe-distance and without causing any real collateral damage.
Good job, end those terrorists.
Has Phase 2 Started Yet?
Its phase Z and you are about of being smoked by a Rusky justice grenade.
They are reviving all the dead orcs as zombies now to get around the missing manpower, that surely can be called phase Z. 🤷🤭
Ukraine territorials being thrown in like new meat.
You have become a seriously boring and repetitive bot. Go get a life before a Russian puts an end to your miserable existence.
So no 100% after all? Has been what, 3 months?
Yea, really humiliating, how the Azov Nazi scum lost the battle!
This is how the failed Ukrianian CIA project wins. By losing slowly. The thousands of square km of territory lost by the failed Ukrainian CIA project is just evidence of their double-secret winning.
3 months of Azov running like the cowards they are, looking for more human shields, because Nazis are cowards.

I don’t mind your retarded comments. I am just hoping my tax money isn’t paying for it. That would a double embarrassment.
90% of Mariupol was hit with high precision?
You better sit down peeing.
It’s an opportunity to innovate and experiment as to the best way to deal with holed up Ukrainian Nazis. It appears that Russia just can’t resist the temptation to just keep pounding these Ukrainian Nazi vermin. Maybe also Russia should open a competition for methods to eradicate the holed up Ukrainian Nazis, with a prize – everything is competition based and gamified these days. Crash a Soyuz, Crash some leased Boeings, pump fuel in, infected rats with bubonic plague – let’s get inventive! Wars are one of the fastest and best environments to drive innovation.
Russian innovation drive:

They are testing new weapons on the NAT0Nazis holed up in the bunkers

yea, humiliating how the proud Azov Nazis lost even with Nato support, bye bye 36th brigade.
They are testing new weapons on the NAT0Nazis holed up in the bunkers.
Can’t wait for the plan to mess with the Ukronazis in the Odessa catacombs. I hope they all go down deep in them. Entrances are known and will be sealed. What fun.
My entry is based on the same tactic the US/CIA employed against General Noriega in Panama with non-stop heavy metal played at maximum volume.
The Russian version would be Eduard Khil’s Trololo Song played on an endless loop at 120dB

Noise beyond the threshold of pain or even infra sound to rip the Ukrainian Nazi guts apart – nice entry!
Unless Ruskies are using laser guided ammo, they’re wasting rounds in such a fortified place.
Which part wasn’t hit at least twice there? A third time changes what? 🤷
I wouldn’t call it “wasting”, though they are pounding them down like 100s of rockets and shelling a day almost. But I have seen in some videos some are blown up in inside, even in this fortified place, many amputated or torn to pieces and died. I am thinking they’re testing their rockets on how to destroy this kind of fortified place for future battles.
Practice make perfect
Flood the catacombs with water. Slowly. And the Azovs will appear.
Knock knock ,its seversky donets…
And there is a flood in your Brain
😂🤣🤡
Say whaat… 😉
Those guys have been running out of everything for a month. Is that even true?
Trust me bro
They should have starved already. Something stinks. And it’s not the corpses
We have been lied since day one, that s the sad reality
Surround mariupol leave a containment force and continue advancing, let the Azovites starve.
Was tried, didn’t work.
They should already have
Azov very good at shelling Babushkas from 10km in Donbas …… And fairly good when they’ve got some civilians to hide behind in Mariupol….. But on their own those boneheads aren’t very clever at all. Those tattoos don’t make you a real soldier ……. just an easy target. No wonder Zelensky abandoned them .
Anyone normal would have come out by now with their hands up and to get their wounded treated,so this is bigger than a few Nazi Apes,they have something big to hide.
they will just be tortured and executed , i guess that is incentive enough not to surrender
They fully deserved that, but they can shoot themselves, like their heroes did, when they lost WWII.
No they won’t Russians have been taking prisoners and not killing them,but those Azov could be on trial.
Yes, the NATO officers!
Nice, mulitiate more of the Nazi coward scum! Epic how the proud Azovis were defeated. Even with NATO on their side, they lost in a humiliating way. Congrats brave fighters of Russia, Chechens, DPR! You are heroes, the Nazis are cowards and menchild
Well, finally we see a use for this Tyulpan as a siege mortar. Very little use for it otherwise. Too short range, too long to fire, lacking mobility, super vulnerable to counter-battery fire, but in the tradition of the German Wehrmacht’s siege of Sevastopol, it has a purpose: Reducing an isolated enemy fortress to rubble. This kind of situation must have been contemplated by Russia.
WIPE THEM ALL OUT TAKE ONLY THE FOREIGNERS PRISONER THEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM 😉
Russia has triumphed—the anglo nazis diapers are wet and stinky
I’ll vote that the picture of the conflict no probs
The Azov have running water inside their underground complex. I do not know where the stop valve may be and it is unlikely to be outside, more likely inside. Who knows where the water is coming in from, there may be deep underground rivers that they are tapping into.
The compassionate commander of the Ukraine forces have committed our men to fight gloriously in Azovstol until are all dead. We will send nice photo to their mother, father, wife and children. Medal too. Slava Ukraine
Moar fried rats
Very good!
excellent, keep on de-nazifying!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Keep on rocking those scumbags. For breakfast, lunch and dinner. And in between of course. Death to Nazis.
why not flood the rat hole tunnels the holhols are hiding in?
On the end there will be no more fighting capable Azov fighters as they will be either dead or left rotting away wounded in Azovstal catacombs. That’s the reality.
