Russian Artillery Defeats US-Made Howitzer in Long-Range Showdown
The Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzer is a powerful modern weapon system developed by Russia. It features advanced technology, high mobility, and impressive firepower, making it a valuable asset for the country's armed forces.
A Russian 2S5 Giatsint-S self-propelled artillery unit has defeated an M777 howitzer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in an artillery duel in the Gulyaypole area, a gunner of Battlegroup Vostok's "Ussuriysk" 305th Artillery Brigade told Sputnik.
"There was a moment with sevens [US-made M777 howitzers], they rolled up closer, we reached them with full charge. They managed to fire a few shells and missed [the target], so we suppressed them on the fifth shot," the serviceman said.
They have around 10 rounds to destroy a target, but usually three to five are enough.
"There are no problems with replenishing the battery, there are [enough] shells," the 152-millimeter
Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzer gunner added.
The US has supplied Ukraine with 155-millimeter shells for M777 long-range howitzers, which Ukrainian troops are actively using to bombard cities in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.
