The Russian military has successfully destroyed three more M777 155 mm towed howitzers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
On November 5, the RIA Novosti news agency released footage documenting a pinpoint strike with a Lancet loitering munition on an M777 howitzers of the AFU on Nikolaev front.
The strike was carried out with the improved version of the Lancet-3, which has an endurance of an hour and is armed with a warhead weighting five kilograms. It is also equipped with an elector-optical system that allows it to detect, track and lock on static and moving targets.
On November 6, Russian sources shared another video showing the destruction of two more M777 howitzers of the AFU, this time on Donetsk front.
The howitzers were apparently located by an Orlan-10 drone, which has a flight duration of 16 hours and a range of 140 kilometers. The drone can be equipped with several types of sensors to carry out different missions including reconnaissance, 3D-mapping, electronic warfare and communication relay.
The M777 howitzer has a maximum rate of fire of seven rounds per minute with a range of up to 40 kilometers when firing Excalibur precision-guided rounds.
The AFU received 162 howitzers of this type after the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. The United States provided 152, while Canada provided four and Australia six. All howitzers were reportedly delivered between May and October.
The Russian military has already destroyed or damaged many of Ukraine’s newly-acquired M777 howitzers, in most cases with drones and artillery fire.
Ukrainian forces are still outgunned by the Russian artillery. The U.S. and its allies in the West don not apparently have the resources to solve Kiev’s artillery problem.
Good, now go after the Ukrainian Reich Chancellery
Those howitzers are sitting ducks. Russia is thoroughly degrading NATOs ability to wage war. Looks like a bunch of amateurs are running NATO now since they’re allowing their most advanced weapons systems to be blown to bits in a piecemeal fashion.
it looked like a miss…?
Ukrainianism is a cancerous tumor and Russia should destroy it cell by cell.

Russia is the only hope for Europe.
Pooland and the Baltic States might come to their senses after the rest of the Europe cuts their USA induced crap and start doing good business with the good Russian businessmen in a real currency like the ruble is.
Wait for the marshal russian Winter when all foliage is gone. Russians destroyed far more ukrap ‘technic’ by an average of 7 to 8. But the toilet paper money mill is printing…..and they will keep coming. Without cutting the supply lines in a way or another, this war of ‘mobile attrition’ will continue indecisively. There are a few options for the russians to cut murican transport: 1. A Belarus joint offensive throw Lvov -viable but have many unpredictable factors. 2. A big in depth bombardment campaign of related infrastructure -very viable but need huge amount of precision missiles which Russia now must delegate on other parts of the frontline 3. A short constant very aggressive bombardment of energy grid till complete destruction -the most viable one and the best one, especially having multiple ‘collateral damage; over banderist nazi bastards. 4. A great luck for a Taiwan starting war -same very good but it’s about time and timing; So, I wait for the Putin tuesday meeting with the Council when in the very good tradition of denazification, MoD will felicitate Kiev faggot whores with another batch of electricity off greeting card.
Russia is not convinced yet to get rough on ordinary Ukrainians. Otherwise it would be logic to level flat Ukronazy cities, town and villages, destroy their infrastructure than move in with great force, even temporary retreating forces from other theaters like Syria, bringing African, Chinese, Indians and North Korean fighters etc. Chinese might find a better living on the front than in their permanent futile covid lockdowns. There might be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands ans even millions of young people all over the world ready to take a gun for a retirement fund and a petch of land in Russia, eventually in the Ukraine they conquer 🥳
Outdated weapons. So far I don’t see the US with Hypersonic weapons. Talk about lagging behind the competition. Which shows me that your comments are coming out of your ass
this war has turned into a stalemate
For now.
Run Nazis RUN!
why not try and find that batteries commander. probably the only person who knows how to do the calculations. if they run out of those willing to go tho the ukraine they will stop sending the guns
There is about 60,000 Russian reserves on the front now. Donbass is getting a good push but notice they will just go a steady pace and wait and see what the US midterms presents. Germany may headed in a more different direction after accepting they are nothing more than a nutured US vassal. Russia can sit back and watch this geopolitical mess unfold.
I want Annalena burned at the stake in front of Brandenburg gate. 🥳
Just love to watch USSN tax cattle IOU fiat filth Saudi Mercan petro dollah $crip siZZle, flare and burn as these wilting titanium shit sticks and their rat basturd crews get reduced to smoke and ash. Is it just me?
Z and more Z until the evil angloZionaZi empire of shit is permanently flUShed.
Russia must be suffering tremendeous losses. Why else would they be silent about it? They advertise any hit against Ukrainian forces but are totally silent about their own losses. If things were so great, they’d be more open. Nah, Russia is going down.
