(Zik) --- The artillery fire guidance
system, ARTA, installed by volunteers in Donbas ,
has brought its first results, volunteer Olha Reshetylova writes in Facebook
July 18.
“Yesterday was one
of the happiest days in my life. On Sunday we completed the installation of the
Arta fire control system in one of the war zones in Donbas .
The system links the artillery, reconnaissance and staffs of four brigades.
It was a big
project which cost one million hryvnias and took 2 weeks to implement,” she
wrote.
“Now we can
coordinate artillery fire with our neighbours, hitting the targets our neighbours
cannot reach. With the results obtained, we can change the course of the war,”
one of the army officers said inspired by ARTA.
“The credit must be
given to ARTA sponsors and developers, despite all the original skepticism,”
Reshetilova stressed.
Work to expand the
system and involve more brigades will continue. “We want our guys to retaliate
quicker, save their lives and stop the Russian aggressors from encroaching on
our land,” Olha Reshetilova said.
