Crews of 152-mm howitzers Msta-B of the Russian paratroopers destroyed enemy Western-made self-propelled gun

Artillery units of the Airborne Forces, during a special military operation, continue to carry out tasks to defeat the artillery systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroy defensive structures, suppress command posts, destroy fire weapons, weapons, military equipment and manpower of the enemy. During the counter-battery fight, one of the crews of the Guards Artillery Regiment of the Tula Guards Airborne Forces unit, with two shots and a distance of more than 12 km, destroyed a self-propelled gun of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was hiding in a forest plantation in the Soledar area and did not allow our advanced units to actively maneuver with its fire. Adjustment and fire control were carried out by unmanned aircraft crews of the reconnaissance units of the Tula paratroopers.

During combat missions, crews of towed howitzers use high-explosive, high-explosive fragmentation, and high-precision ammunition, which makes it possible to inflict maximum damage to fortifications, buried concrete fortifications, armored vehicles and enemy personnel at a considerable distance.
