Hit him with Himars: the Armed Forces for the first time struck the latest Russian Sau "Malva" - social networks (photo)

The report states that Malva was hit by M30A1 rockets in the Kharkiv direction (probably) released from M142/270 Himars. In these rockets, cassette combat elements are replaced by tungsten balls to defeat the area without unobtrusive ammunition. "The new Russian 152-mm SAU on the wheel chassis 2C43" Malva "after unsuccessful damage to the M30A1 rocket with tungsten balls from the Himars starting installation," the Telegram channel said.

It is evident that the balls punched the corps in some places, where they were stuck in it, and the armored windows of the driver's cab did not break at all. The photo shows that the howitzer stands on the open wheels. We will remind, on the battlefield for the first time SAU "Malva" caliber 152 mm was recorded from the drone in early June in the Belgorod region. She entered the 9th Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

It was the first appearance of arts on the front since the beginning of the Russian Federation's statement about their supply. The first Malv party was armed in October 2023, and in July the tests were completed, which lasted three years. It is the development of the Russian Central Research Institute "Bureudnik". It began to work on it in the 2010s in the framework of research and design work "Shzleck". The basis is the gun 2A64 with a barrel length of 47 calibers.

Its characteristics allow you to fire at a distance of up to 24. 7 km of fragmentation and foot shells and up to 29 km active-reactive ammunition. Russian "Malva" is essentially analogous to the French Sau Caesar or the Ukrainian "Bogdan". However, they have a longer gun, so the shooting range will be up to 40 km. "Malva" is built on the wheel chassis of Baz-6010-027.
