The occupiers camouflaged the gun, but it didn't help.

Operators of the “Gatilo” Unmanned Systems Battalion of the 3rd Iron Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces detected and destroyed a Russian 2S19 “Msta-S” self-propelled howitzer in the Velikoburluk direction in the Kharkiv region, according to "Censor.net".

The occupiers attempted to conceal the 42-metric-ton self-propelled artillery system in the woods.

After detecting the enemy position, the operators directed an FPV drone at the target and delivered a precision strike on the artillery system.

As a result of the strike, the Russian 2S19 “Msta-S” self-propelled artillery system sustained serious damage.

The system is valued at up to $6 million.
