Rare Footage: Msta-S Howitzer Targets Ukrainian Abrams Tank

Watch Unique Footage of Msta-S Howitzer Targeting Ukrainian Abrams Tank

The Russian Defense Ministry recently released footage of the destruction of American-made armor in Ukraine, showcasing the precision targeting of a Ukrainian M1 Abrams tank using Russia’s Krasnopol high-precision laser-guided artillery round. The video captures the demolition of the tank by a Msta-S self-propelled howitzer operated by Tsentr Group of Forces troops. Additionally, an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle was taken out by FPV drone operators. These incidents highlight Russia’s ability to neutralize top NATO armor, debunking the myth of Western military superiority in conflicts.

The Krasnopol artillery shell, a Soviet-era weapon, has undergone upgrades over the years, making it a potent and effective piece of artillery. Despite satellite guidance capabilities, jamming has rendered many satellite-guided weapons ineffective in the current conflict in Ukraine. The US deployed numerous Abrams and Bradley vehicles in Ukraine, with a significant portion being destroyed in combat.
