The cost of installation is up to $5 million.

During a reconnaissance flight "storks" of the 20th separate brigade of unmanned systems K-2 detected a valuable target - a Russian self-propelled artillery installation 2S43 "Malva".

This is the latest development of the military-industrial complex of the aggressor country, the main feature of which is a wheeled chassis, which should provide high mobility and survivability on the battlefield.

However, the claimed mobility did not help the occupants to hide the equipment from Ukrainian eyes. To eliminate the threat, the operators promptly dispatched the Bulava kamikaze strike drone. The UAV hit the target in the most vulnerable place - directly into the cannon of the installation, disabling it and depriving the enemy of the ability to fire.
