Watch Russia’s Giatsint-S Self-Propelled Artillery Guns in Combat Action in Kupyansk Direction

The Russian Giatsint-S is a formidable self-propelled artillery system. It is known for its immense firepower and long-range capabilities. The Giatsint-S can deliver devastating blows to enemy targets.

The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of Russia’s Giatsint-S self-propelled artillery guns in action in Kupyansk direction.

After the aerial reconnaissance unit locates groups of troops and enemy equipment, their coordinates are transmitted to the artillery crew of the Giatsint-S self-propelled artillery installation. The combat vehicle then moves into position and opens fire on the identified enemy targets.

The Giatsint-S self-propelled artillery units of the Western Military District carry out precision strikes against enemy positions in the Kupyansk direction around the clock, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The artillery crews of the Giatsint-S artillery are destroying military facilities, fortifications and enemy personnel. The artillerymen's combat work is notable not only for its accuracy, but also for its speed: it takes only a few minutes from receiving the target coordinates to firing a shot, the ministry said.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive began on June 4. Kiev sent into battle brigades trained by NATO instructors and armed with Western equipment, including Leopard and Challenger tanks. Three months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Kiev's push had failed and that Ukraine had suffered heavy casualties. Several Western officials also acknowledged that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had not been successful so far.

Russian Special Forces Crush 'Brazen' Ukrainian IFV Near Atremovsk

The Ukrainian counteroffensive kicked off in June, with Kiev sending in NATO-trained brigades armed with Western equipment. In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Zelensky regime's push had failed, racking up an estimated 90,000 Ukrainian casualties.

The ‘Siberia’ special forces of Battlegroup Yug achieved a significant victory after successfully neutralizing an impudent enemy infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) that had been incessantly attacking the Russian Armed Forces near Kleshcheyevka in the direction of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The commander of the detachment recollected the tireless efforts of his soldiers during the 'hunt', which culminated in the destruction of the brazen IFV.

According to the commander, the detachment initiated a search for the IFV. After carefully analyzing the enemy's movements for several days, the command determined the optimal location to launch an attack using the anti-tank missile system.

“Our position was planned in advance, we lied in wait, and the enemy made a mistake, drove out and began to fire upon our units from a concealed location, and they got swiftly punished," the commander elaborated.

He also mentioned that the command had chosen the position based on intelligence data and personal experience with the enemy's operational methods. The Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday, that during the day the Russian military repelled five attacks by Ukrainian forces in the area of Kleshcheyevka and Maloilyinovka, destroying two armored combat vehicles and three pickup trucks. According to the military authorities, Kiev lost as many as 300 servicemen.
