The crew of the second self-propelled artillery battery of Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade hid in a bunker under a line of trees. The eight men were in a cramped, filthy space with only room for two bunk beds and two tables. One of the soldiers filmed Russian positions with his drone to show British weapons at work on the front, The Times reports.
"That was our shot. We fired, and here’s the result. Look, it hit the target. There’s a bunker in the tree line. And here’s another one – it hit the very spot where they’re hiding. Good job, guys. Surgical," said the drone operator with the call sign "Bear."
The publication recalled that in May, the British army transferred 89 AS-90 self-propelled guns to Ukraine. In particular, the Third Assault Brigade received at least 12 units of such equipment, which replaced the Soviet 2S19 Msta-S. According to the military, they are happy with this weapon. "If the gun is in good condition – if we’ve checked it and everything is OK – it works very well. It feels like it was designed with the operator in mind," said the crew commander, call sign "Skripa."
It is noted that the interior of the gun is spacious compared to the old Soviet artillery, it is better armored and absorbs the powerful vibrations of the 155 mm gun well.
The crew also claims that these installations are subject to heavy use for which they were not designed, resulting in wear and tear.
"These are good guns. They can shoot eight times the stated life of the barrel. But after 8,000 rounds, you might hit the target on the fifth shot instead of the third," warned Sergeant "Lion."
The Times noted that the Third Assault Brigade has been holding back the Russians around the strategic city of Izyum in the Kharkiv region for over a year, despite intense enemy attacks.
"When the enemy starts to attack our infantry, we enter the battle to prevent them from even getting close. I had a situation when about 30 Russians started to gather near a forest belt, preparing to attack our guys – the stormtroopers. But they didn’t succeed. We fired a few shells, and that was it, none of them wanted to return," Skripa said.
In turn, the use of AS-90 installations by Ukrainian defenders pleased their allies from Great Britain.
"The UK’s AS-90 artillery platforms, which, thanks to their high rate of fire, survivability and good mobility, have become a very effective tool for stopping Russian attacks. The UK’s support for Ukraine remains unwavering. That is why we are stepping up the 50-day campaign to arm Ukraine and forcing Putin to the negotiating table," said Luke Pollard, UK Under-Secretary of State for Defence for the Armed Forces.
The publication recalled that initially Great Britain intended to send Ukraine only 30 howitzers. However, the Ukrainian military turned out to be so clever that they were given all the installations.
The artillery systems, developed in the 1990s, were reportedly decommissioned by the British Army because they were too old and slow to meet the demands of a modern battlefield. However, they are still proving important in Ukraine and have become a priority target for Russian drones.
"There was one case when we were hit by a winged drone. It hit close to our firing position. But since we always use camouflage nets and branches, the cumulative charge only slightly scratched the armor," shared "Skripa".
