Video Summary
Russia has deployed its newest self-propelled howitzer, the 2S 43 Malva, in the Harke region to support its ongoing military operations. However, a Ukrainian FPV drone caught up with one of the 2S 43’s and possibly hit it, but exact details are unclear. The incident is one of several reported instances of the Malva being targeted by Ukrainian forces, with photos showing minor damage to the vehicle’s tires, glass, and paintwork. The 2S 43 Malva has a reported maximum range of 24.5 km, making it well-suited for supporting Russian operations in the Harke region. The vehicle was deployed in batches in 2023 and 2024, with the exact number of deliveries unclear. The 2S 43 is a 152mm self-propelled howitzer mounted on an 8×8 chassis, with new deliveries being made to Russia, despite its recent military setbacks in the region. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with each side engaging in a cat-and-mouse game with drone attacks and counter-attacks.
