17:35 Appeared onlinevideo, which shows how a certain armored vehicle in the dark fires along a very upward trajectory
Some thought that this was the same “Derivation-Air Defense”. However, the rate of fire in the video casts doubt on this (the 2A90 gun on the Derivation has a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, which is much less than shown)
And although the quality in the dark is poor, you can recognize the outline of the BMP-3 in the silhouette of the armored vehicle. But not ordinary, because the tower is definitely not standard. Most likely this is a BMP-3 with the Epoch module. There is a low-impulse 57mm cannon (aka AGS-57). This is what makes it clear why they are shooting into the sky - just imagine that it is an AGS or a mortar.
