This is a very interesting video of recent TB2 attack. I have been wanting to comment on it since it surfaced but wanted to wait a couple of days and since then they have redacted the Time on all newer videos, which should be done for OPSEC.
Its the destruction of one 120MM mortar tube and 3-4 boxes of munitions with a follow on attack of a supporting truck. In the initial attack you can clearly see a three tube battery, three trucks, and several soldiers active. It is difficult to tell if the tubes have been recently firing. The two on the left look to have more debris strewn about than the one on the right which was targeted. The operator flipped between targeting a box and the tube itself ultimately hitting the tube. It is interesting to me because a tube was targeted and not the truck with several soldiers next to it and that a TB2 against a mortar tube does not make much sense unless a UKR unit was getting hammered by this battery and needed immediate support or an upcoming operation needed them to be destroyed. Would love to have this Geolocated.
The initial attack is 1sept22 at 11:41:37 and at least one soldier not previously seen next to the boxes is severely wounded. A second attack occurs at 1sept22 at 12:02:53 on one of the two remaining trucks. The site at this time appears to be abandoned and one truck missing.
The interesting part is why the :23 min delay? Did the TB2 have to go rearm, did it follow the truck, or was something else hit with remaining payload. I don't think I have seen a single video with multiple drops in a single pass. 95KG payload specs.
The third attack on this vid is actually from the day before 31Aug22 at 21:33:02 almost a ten hour difference. A nine thirty at night attack two hours after sunset followed by daytime lunch attacks. All more recent TB2 attacks have almost info redacted.
