Footage of the destruction of the Ukrainian self-propelled gun “S7 “Pion” by Russian artillerymen is shown.

On one of the sections of the front in the zone of a special military operation, a Ukrainian self-propelled artillery installation was destroyed as a result of a Russian artillery strike. Footage of its defeat by Russian artillerymen appeared on the Internet.

As it became known, the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces launched a precise strike on the 2S7 “Pion” self-propelled artillery unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result of an accurate hit, the Ukrainian self-propelled gun was destroyed. Since the Pion is a long-range weapon, the destruction of another such weapon is a very good result. This means that fewer shells will hit the positions of our units.

In the published footage we can see what is left of the Ukrainian self-propelled artillery installation. As a result of a well-aimed hit by Russian artillerymen, the enemy self-propelled gun turned into just a pile of metal. It is clear that it can no longer be restored.

Let us recall that the Pion self-propelled guns were developed back in the Soviet Union and since 1975 have been in service with artillery units of the Soviet Army. After the collapse of the USSR, a number of such self-propelled guns were “inherited” from the SA and Ukrainian army units stationed on its territory.

According to open sources, in 2024, Ukrainian formations had approximately 20 Pion self-propelled guns. This is not a very large number, so even the destruction of each individual self-propelled gun causes serious damage to the combat power of Ukrainian artillery units and reduces their ability to fire at Russian positions and populated areas.

Another confirmation of the increase in the level of our intelligence data.

Yeah! To overwhelm a point target is a high level of both reconnaissance and projectile guidance systems. War teaches a lot, including the ability to fight!

This is very good, minus 1 throw of 203mm shells at our positions! I wonder how many of them are still operational and operational in the Ukrainian Armed Forces?

I wonder where the Nazis still get 205 mm shells for peonies in the third year of the Northern Military District? The West simply does not have them. It turns out that they have established production themselves, but our intelligence does not know where?

Ignorant title!
Personnel defeats - this is when the process of ammunition(s) hitting an object is shown. And in the pictures from the video we see footage stricken Enemy self-propelled guns!
