The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed self-propelled artillery of the Russian military.

The press service of the Operational Command “South” released a video with the performance of artillerymen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The operation against the occupiers was carried out by Ukrainian forces in the southern direction.

Artillerymen of the Operational Command “South” will not let the enemy move unnoticed on Ukrainian territory.

Ukrainian artillery destroyed 122-mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers of the Russian army.

Initially, a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone was monitoring the route of Russian artillery.

The Russian military tried to take a position and disguise themselves in the woods.

When the Russian artillery took up position, the Ukrainian artillery began to inflict fire on them.

After a precise hit, a significant explosion occurred, probably caused by detonation of the ammunition of the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer.

These Soviet self-propelled howitzers based on the MT-LBu multi-purpose chassis are designed to destroy manpower, artillery batteries, and fortifications.

2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer was created according to the classic turret scheme for self-propelled artillery.

The body of the vehicle is welded from steel armored rolled sheets, completely hermetic and capable of overcoming water obstacles. The hull is divided into three compartments: power (engine and transmission), control compartment and combat one.
