Two 2S19 Msta-S Howitzers Destroyed — Big Blast
Video Summary
In a recent tactical strike, a Russian 2S9 Msta howitzer was destroyed in a tree line in the Luhansk region, near the city of Harke. The howitzer’s location was likely its firing position, making it a prime target for counter-battery fire. The 2S9 Msta has a range of 27.5 kilometers, making it capable of hitting targets on the front lines and beyond. Unfortunately, it looks like the howitzer was fully loaded with ammunition at the time of the strike.
In other news, another 2S9 Msta, identified by its burned-out wreckage, was also reported destroyed on the same day. As of the war’s start, Russia had around 600 2S9 Mstas in service, but production continues. The 209th Regiment is still operational and has seen extensive use in the conflict. The destruction of these howitzers highlights the ongoing struggle between Russian and Ukrainian forces on the Eastern Front.
