Ukrainian Artillery Takes Out Russian Howitzer In Precision Strike

Russian SAU 2S19 Msta-C burns after being hit by the Ukrainian defence forces in the Kharkiv region in Ukraine in undated footage. The 2S19 Msta is a 152.4 mm self-propelled howitzer designed by the Soviet Union, which entered service in 1989 as the successor to the 2S3 Akatsiya. (@ngu.east/Zenger)

This footage purports to show how Ukrainian artillery took out a Russian 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled howitzer in a precision strike in eastern Ukraine.

The footage shows how the howitzer billows smoke and erupts into flames after being hit before it bursts into pieces in a huge explosion moments later. The self-propelled howitzer had been hiding in a tree line in northern Kharkiv Oblast but was spotted by a Ukrainian drone.
