The Msta-S crew fired more than 900 shells at Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the Volchansky pocket

The crew of the Msta-S self-propelled artillery unit of the Sever group fired more than 900 shells at the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Volchansky Cauldron.

The crew works around the clock, destroying enemy strongholds, accumulations of equipment and manpower.

Collaboration with aerial reconnaissance operators allows artillery to remain undetected and effectively support assault units.

BELGOROD, October 5 - RIA Novosti. Since the formation of the Volchansky Cauldron in the Kharkov region, the crew of the Msta-S self-propelled artillery mount of the Sever group has fired more than 900 shells at the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the encirclement ring, the gun commander with the call sign Avangard told RIA Novosti.

“Now we are working mainly on the Volchansky Cauldron in close conjunction with the calculations of unmanned systems. The cauldron is narrowing. We are paving the way for our attack aircraft to make it easier for them to walk and carry out their tasks without hindrance... During the entire time we worked on the Volchansky Cauldron, we fired about 900 shells,” the military man said.

According to the fighter, the crew works around the clock, systematically destroying strong points, accumulations of enemy equipment and manpower inside the encirclement ring. Artillerymen pay special attention to eliminating drone control points and disrupting logistics behind enemy lines in order to prevent the supply of ammunition.

Avangard noted that combat work is carried out in close cooperation with aerial reconnaissance operators. Thanks to this interaction and integrated approach, the self-propelled gun’s firing position remains unnoticed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ surveillance equipment.
