Russia's MoD has published a video clip showing the 2S19 Msta-S and 2S5 Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzers (SPHs), providing fire support for Russian forces operating in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.

The self-propelled units shoot from indirect positions and quickly move to avoid counter-battery fire.

The high range of fire, as far as 33–34 kilometers when using active-reactive shells, allows these artillery systems to be used as an effective counter-battery means of suppressing enemy artillery.

The Msta-S and Giatsint-S have demonstrated their effectiveness in providing fire support and counter-battery capabilities for Russian forces operating in the region.
