Russian troops 'blitz Ukrainian targets' with Howitzers

EXPLOSIVE footage appears to show Russian troops 'blitz Ukrainian targets' with Msta B Howitzers.

The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) said they used 152 mm 2A65 Msta-B howitzers to destroy Ukrainian armoured vehicles and fortified strongholds.

The attack was carried out by members of the Western Military District, one of the five military districts of the Russian Armed Forces, at a distance of between 10 and 15 kilometres.

The Russian MoD said on 24th May: “Footage shows the combat work of the 152-mm ‘Msta-B’ howitzers of the Western Military District when performing firing operations to destroy armoured vehicles and fortified positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

In the video, Russian troops are seen loading up the battery of howitzers before sending a volley of missiles that apparently hit their intended targets.
