Watch Russian Msta-B Howitzer Disrupt Transfer of Ukrainian Reserves

Russian artillery has been invaluable in the special operation zone, significantly reducing Ukrainian offensive capabilities. The 152 mm Msta-B howitzers are widely used on the frontline as a means of both supporting Russian advances and suppressing enemy firepower.

Russia's Ministry of Defense has published footage of a152 mm Msta-B howitzer wreaking havoc on Ukrainian forces attempting to regroup. The reinforcements were successfully wiped out, leaving only ashes to promote Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's ambitions.

Capable of inflicting damage at a range of more than 24 km and firing up to eight rounds per minute, Msta howitzers are a formidable power in the Russian Armed Forces. In addition, they can be deployed both as unarmored towed guns and equipped on armored self-propelled artillery vehicles.

Amid the stalled counteroffensive attempt launched by the Kiev regime in early June, NATO allies desperately need more Ukrainian soldiers on the frontline to be sacrificed for their purposes. Thus, having sacrificed the vast majority of its strategic reserves, Ukrainian forces are trying to regroup, while Russian troops successfully inhibit such maneuvers.

Watch Russian Grad MLRS Eliminate Concentrations of Ukrainian Troops During Special Op

The Russian Grad MLRS is a highly effective multiple rocket launcher system capable of firing up to 40 rockets in quick succession. With a range of up to 40 km, it allows Russian forces to strike targets from a distance, making it ideal for both offensive and defensive operations.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing Grad MLRS units of the Tula Airborne Forces in combat.

During aerial reconnaissance, areas with large concentrations of Ukrainian troops were identified and this information was transmitted to the artillery command center of the Tula airborne troops.

After receiving the coordinates, the Grad MLRS immediately moved to the area and attacked the enemy with 122 mm unguided rocket launchers.

Russia Hits Ukraine's Storage Facilities for Depleted Uranium Ammunition - MoD

The Russian armed forces have attacked storage facilities with Storm Shadow cruise missiles and ammunition with depleted uranium in Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.

The goal of the strike was achieved, the ministry said, adding that all objects were hit.

"Tonight [on Sunday night], the Russian armed forces carried out a group strike with high-precision long-range air-launched weapons, as well as attack unmanned aerial vehicles, on the storage sites of the Kiev regime with Storm Shadow cruise missiles, ammunition with depleted uranium, as well as centers for radio reconnaissance and training of sabotage groups of the Ukrainian armed forces," the ministry said in a statement.

Earlier in September, the US Defense Department announced a new $175 million military aid package for Ukraine that includes depleted uranium munitions for Abrams tanks, as well as air defense equipment and 155mm artillery shells. Prior to that, the UK pledged that it would give Ukraine radioactive depleted uranium ammunition for the British main battle tanks Challenger 2.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow would react “accordingly” to the transfer of depleted uranium tank shells to Ukraine.

Russian officials have warned of depleted uranium weapons’ dangers. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted late last month that the use of the weapons would turn portions of Ukraine into an "uninhabitable" wasteland, with "radioactive contamination of the soil…already happening" and being recorded.

The Russian Defense Ministry also said that Ukraine has lost up to 255 military in the Donetsk direction over the past 24 hours.

Over the given period, the Russian armed forces have repelled six attacks by Ukrainian military in the Donetsk direction and two attacks in the Krasnyi Lyman direction, the ministry said in a statement.

"Enemy losses [in the Donetsk direction] amounted to up to 255 military personnel, three armored combat vehicles and seven vehicles," the ministry's statement read. Ukraine has also lost over 180 soldiers both killed and injured in the South Donetsk direction in the past 24 hours, the ministry added.

Watch Russian Artillery Strikes Destroy Ukrainian Forces Attempting to Advance

Ukraine launched its counteroffensive in early June. Three months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, with Ukraine suffering 71,000 casualties.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing powerful Russian artillery strikes smashing Ukrainian attempts to advance in the area of Artemovsk (Bakhmut).

"The artillerymen of the 2nd Army Corps are destroying the positions of the Ukrainian forces, which are trying to attack in the direction of Artemovsk, with precise strikes. Their fire is being blocked by UAV operators," the Russian Defense Ministry said.
