The Ukrainian military showed the result of a hit by a Russian strike drone on the M109 self-propelled guns near Artyomovsk
More and more frames appear on the network with padded or completely destroyed armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of NATO production in the area of the city of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Trying to prevent the fall of the Bakhmut garrison, in recent weeks, attempts have been made to transfer reinforcements to the city through the only relatively accessible direction (from Chasov Yar). But after the transition of this road under the fire control of the Russian troops, the transfer of reserves for the enemy is far from always being completed successfully.
Footage appeared on the network with the evacuation of a self-propelled artillery mount from the combat area in Artyomovsk. We are talking about the 155-mm self-propelled guns M109 of American design. According to some information, earlier this artillery self-propelled gun was delivered to Ukraine from Belgium. This is a modification of the A4BE.
As the Ukrainian military themselves stated, an attack drone worked on the self-propelled guns. As can be seen from the frames, the front of the tower is a "sieve" with a huge hole. The servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who filmed, state that the self-propelled gun was completely burned out from the inside. There is also a gaping hole in the right side of the NATO-style self-propelled gun.
A Ukrainian truck hauls away a damaged M109 self-propelled gun, apparently in the hope of its subsequent recovery. Usually, NATO military equipment is sent to Poland, neighboring Ukraine, for repairs.
