Artillerymen used Paladin SAU on a mortar calculation of invaders in shelter (video)

The invaders arranged a position on the destroyed houses and tried to mask the equipment. Ukrainian artillerymen used the M10 "Paladin" and destroyed the Russian 120 mm mortar. On Facebook, the 17th Separate Tank Kryvyi Rih Brigade named after Konstantin Pestushko published the results of the work. The fighters recorded that the invaders had arranged a position for destroyed houses. They decided to mask the mortar, but they could not do it. The M109 production has successfully coped with the task.

The mortar was destroyed. "Glory to the Armed Forces!", - the post reads. The American self-propelled howitzer M109 was developed in the 1960s. The technique was modernized from 1962 to 2003. It was also licensed in the 1990s in South Korea. The latest version of the self -propelled howitzer is M109A7. For the first time, M109 was used during the Vietnamese war in real combat conditions during the Vietnamese war. SAU was later used in other conflicts.

In the US, it remains the main self -propelled artillery system of the country's troops in the near future. The system is a standard NATO SAU, and has also been supplied in a number of other countries in large quantities and has been used in many regional conflicts. We will remind, on August 2, the fighters of 17 tank were effectively used by M109.
