Ukrainian Armed Forces successfully catch Russian Msta-S self-propelled artillery system being loaded with ammunition (video)
Since February 2022, the Russian occupation army has lost at least 135 of its Msta-S self-propelled artillery systems in combat
The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed another self-propelled artillery system of the Russian occupation forces – a video of the destruction of another Russian 152-mm Msta-S self-propelled artillery system has been posted online.
The operator of the reconnaissance drone managed to “catch” a Russian Msta-S self-propelled artillery system just as the occupiers were loading it with ammunition (we remind you that the ammunition of this system is 50 shots).

Thanks to quick and effective cooperation and a well-aimed shot, the ammunition that the occupiers were putting into their self-propelled artillery system caught fire, and the ammunition detonated, which finally sent the Russian Msta-S to scrap.
It is also worth mentioning here that recently footage of another Russian Msta-S system, which was hit by an FPV drone, was published online.
According to Oryx, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has lost at least 135 of its 152-mm Msta-S systems and 31 152-mm Msta-SM2 systems.
