    The presence of a unit from the 439th Guards Rocket Artillery Brigade was first reported in September, 2014. (See link below for a summary of the Russian artillery units operating on the border of Ukraine or in its territory). Now with new evidence, the presence of a BM-30 `Smerch’ multiple rocket launcher system (MRLS) unit from the 439th Guards Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Southern Defense Command (SDC) can be confirmed. The Brigades has its home base in the Astrakhan Oblast, Russia. 4391

    According to the available information and photo evidence, the artillery troops of the 439th Brigade were deployed to the Rostov Oblast at the Ukrainian border in the end of summer of 2014. The evidence also points to the fact that the unit participated in the massive artillery shelling that was conducted against the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As of the end of October, the unit was located in Neklinovsky raion of Rostov Oblast (Azovsk-Mariupol direction).

    The identified detachment is armed with 300 mm ‘Smerch’ multiple artillery rocket systems, with an estimated size of a battery which comprises 4 rocket launchers. In total the brigade is believed to have 3 ‘Smerch’ batteries, comprising 12 vehicles overall. There is a possibility that the two other batteries are located elsewhere at the Ukrainian border. golovka
