  Q: How were the Ukrainians ever even able to push out the Russians from Snake Island?
  A:  A howitzer on a pontoon boat.
  
  The location of the firing position from self-propelled guns was almost on the border with Romania in the Odesa region. The road there was not easy...had to literally crawl. One of the highlights of our trip was rafting a self-propelled gun on a pontoon through the channels of the Danube Delta.
  The complexity ...determined by the weather conditions, which changed almost every hour, near impossible to make calculations for shooting because the [1] direction of the wind and [2] its strength constantly changed. In addition, the weather on the shore is very [3] different from the weather over the sea. 
  Also, we had no air cover.
  The first day of shooting was unsuccessful. We fired six shots, but missed. 
  The very next day, fog for hours.
  A large team of military specialists worked with us. In particular, a drone was raised into the sky to adjust the fire. After a few more shots, Russian’s Pantsyr caught fire and the signs of the Russian electronic communications station's operation disappeared. 
  Later, the General Staff confirmed that the targets were suppressed by our Bogdana.  So it was we who gave further opportunity to strike the island with other forces of destruction.
context: It's astonishing that Russia destroyed more of Mariupol than the Nazi's did. Supposedly they've even killed more civilians too, but there's no real way to confirm that yet.
