Drone operators from the 151st Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed Russia’s latest 2S44 Giatsint-K wheeled self-propelled artillery system in the Kupiansk sector.

Details of 2S44 Giatsint-K self-propelled gun
The 2S44 Giatsint-K is Russia’s latest 152 mm self-propelled artillery system, built on the four-axle BAZ-6010-027 wheeled chassis (8×8). It is an adaptation of the 2A36 Giatsint-B towed gun for a wheeled platform, similar to the 2S43 Malva self-propelled gun.
According to its stated specifications, the system can fire standard high-explosive fragmentation shells at targets up to 30.5 kilometres away and rocket-assisted projectiles at ranges of up to 33.1 kilometres. Thanks to its wheeled chassis, the combat vehicle can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour.
A video showing the destruction of the latest Russian self-propelled gun was released by servicemen of the 151st Separate Mechanised Brigade.
