Regarding the questions asked of me, I, Captain Dmitry Sergeyevich Paladichuk, commander of Combat Vehicle No. 274, head of the crew, was on combat duty covering the city of Grozny from 24.12.24 to 25.12.24. At 05:40 on 25.12.24, an order was received to switch to readiness level 1. At 05:48, I reported switching to readiness level 1 via mobile communication. Mobile signal at the site was unstable, and I had no other reliable communication means. Fiber-optic cables were laid but not connected to a terminal, and there was no digital phone with a keypad.

At 08:11, the target detection station identified a potential target, which I locked on to with the radar for precise tracking and reported it to the 51st Division Command Post. At 08:13, I reported updated coordinates: α = 338 degrees, D = 7000 m, H = 490 m, V = 118 m/s, heading 230 degrees. I was given the command to destroy the target via phone. The target was not visible through optics due to very dense fog, which I reported to the command post. At 08:13:30, I gave the command to fire to the operator. At 08:13:33, the missile launched from the rail. At 08:13:47, the BM-72V6 control system reported that the target was missed. At 08:13:48, I gave the order for a second strike. According to radar data, the first missile launched when the target’s coordinates were: α = 319 degrees, D = 7300 m, H = 697 m, V = 80 m/s. The second missile launched when the target's characteristics were: α = 311 degrees, D = 8000 m, H = 1300 m, V = 120 m/s.
