Ukraine HIMARS blow up one of Russia’s largest artillery cannons with GMLRS rocket

This is the moment one of Russia’s largest artillery cannons was blown up by HIMARS. Drone footage captures the 2S7 Pion cannon being hit by a GMLRS rocket. The missile is packed with tungsten ball-bearings, designed to shred nearby targets. Which can be seen on the video, as a circular cloud of dust that appears near the gun. But the ball-bearings aren’t needed here, as the rocket hits with extreme precision. The Pion explodes into a fireball before the ammunition begins burning. It is unclear exactly where or when the strike took place. But Ukraine has made targeting Russian artillery a priority of its counter-attack. When the war began, Russia had a two artillery guns for every one Ukrainian. During the Donbas campaign last summer, that increased to 10 to one. But now they have roughly the same number, thanks to precision Ukrainian strikes. #dailymail #russia #ukraine Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook: Daily Mail IG: Daily Mail Snap: Daily Mail Twitter: Daily Mail Pinterest: Get the free Daily Mail mobile app:
