Ukrainian troops destroyed Russian Msta-S self-propelled howitzers in the Donetsk region.

The military published the video on Telegram.

The Russian self-propelled howitzers were attacked by FPV kamikaze drones controlled by operators of the FPV Drone Group “Muramasa” of the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade.

152-mm self-propelled howitzers were hit at the Russian invaders’ combat positions near Avdiyivka.

The type of warheads that the Ukrainian kamikaze drones were equipped with is not clear from the video.

An MT-LB multi-purpose tracked vehicle, which was moving on the road in the temporarily occupied territory, also came under attack by a Ukrainian FPV drone.

The Russians often use tractors, such as armored personnel carriers, to transport infantry and cargo.

Previously, in March, operators of the FPV Drone Group “Muramasa” of the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade destroyed a Russian 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled howitzer near Avdiyivka.

The self-propelled howitzer was destroyed by FPV kamikaze drones, which were equipped with shaped charge warheads. According to the footage, these are warheads from a PG-7 rocket-propelled grenade, which is usually fired from an RPG-7 hand-held grenade launcher.

The video posted by the Ukrainian military captures a powerful explosion and burning, which most likely led to the complete destruction of the Russian Msta-S self-propelled howitzer.

According to Oryx’s OSINT resource, since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Russian invaders have lost at least 137 2S19 Msta-Ss destroyed and 35 seized. In addition, about 19 newer versions of the 2S33 Msta-SM2 have been reported destroyed and 17 seized.

Msta-S is a Soviet and Russian 152-mm self-propelled howitzer designed to defeat the enemy’s open and hidden manpower, weapons, and military equipment.
