Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR showed the exact destruction of the American howitzer M777

1 September 2022 6

A video from the Donbass has appeared on the Web, showing the exact destruction of an American-made M777 howitzer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Vuhledar. The operational-combat tactical formation (OBTF) "Cascade" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR filmed footage of its work on the destruction of enemy artillery, documenting the entire process.

It should be noted that the aforementioned 155 mm towed howitzers are mainly used by the Ukrainian military to strike at the settlements and infrastructure of the DPR. Therefore, their operational neutralization is given serious importance, and counter-battery combat has priority. The United States has so far supplied Ukraine with 136 M777 units in A1 / A2 variants, but from October their number may increase significantly after the start of the new financial year and the opening of lend-lease.

The video captures the moment the UAV detected the position of the gun and its calculation near one of the forest belts between the fields. The howitzer was just firing. An artillery strike was carried out on the identified position, as a result of which the howitzer, its crew and ammunition were destroyed, which is confirmed by the data from the drone. The video clearly demonstrates the usefulness of the UAV-artillery link, since drones not only detect the enemy in disguise and record the results of the artillerymen’s work, they also transmit the coordinates by which the shells hit the target exactly.

It turns out that the Jew who chose UAVs as a priority a decade and a half ago were much more perspicacious than our combat generals at the present time. The question is why does it mean that the very foundation does not contain the desire to improve the army. As all the same, there are many fundamental miscalculations.

- It is not entirely clear what struck her. - It does not seem that artillery fire - if only "Krasnopol" (30F39 Krasnopol) - but it is not entirely intended for such purposes! - Somehow it is not entirely clear!

- Personally, I don’t understand - why these M777s are so extolled - there is nothing particularly superb about them - and even towed ones! - What will they do in rain, sleet, snowfall and frost??? - For winter, this "gun" is not very suitable; and the French CAESAR artillery mount - although self-propelled, but also - is not very suitable for winter conditions! - With a well-organized counter-battery radar and a well-functioning artillery fire control system - these are towed M777 (as long as it has time to leave after a volley from its previous positions); and the CAESAR artillery mounts - they would just quickly fix it - and cover it with such accurate fire that there would be no wet place left of them !!! - It's high time to calculate their coordinates and destroy them - let them bring new ones - and these "new parties" mentioned too! - Just start "hunting" for them!!!

  Colleague, don’t you think that the hunt for artillery of the Wehrmacht’s coming out should have been opened six months ago? However, until now the artillery of the Wehrmacht's coming out does not want to end. It seems that the point is not in desire, but in possibilities. And these possibilities, unfortunately, do not coincide with our expectations.

These fakes are no longer believed. First, they show the object in good quality, and then, before the impact, suddenly, by chance, the camera removes the picture so much and is generally directed somewhere in the wrong direction, and then they show some dubious shots of something smoking there ... They themselves undermined their authority and reputation with such frankly stupid actions .. And it would be okay once ... Constantly and systematically. Any normal person has questions about the plausibility of these videos.

  Alas, you are right, there are very few reliable shots of the destruction of the enemy.

Smoke is visible, but the very fact of the defeat of this howitzer is not visible.
