It is noted that the Motorial War union of the Central Military District (CVC) in the Orenburg region received more than 40 units of weapons. Self-propelled howitzers "MSTA-CM2" are used to destroy artillery and mortar batteries, air defense and about, anti-tank means and personnel of the enemy. 2C19 MSTA-S, adopted by the USSR Army in 1989, was developed as a replacement of 2C3 "Acacia" and to eliminate the shortcomings compared to the 155mm NATO FH70.
Created on the basis of the T-72, 2C19 tank chassis, it had the ability to defeat targets from closed positions and firing various types of ammunition, including tactical nuclear shells. Analysts say that MSTA-CM2 works with the reconnaissance drones of "Orlan-10", as well as the role of howitzers in city battles. Chinese military analysts have recently appreciated their use in Ukraine.
Among the improved capabilities are updated electronic components, partially digital control system, integration with GPS/Glonass. The MSTA howitzers were repeatedly struck by Ukrainian artillery, HIMARS, and there have also been cases when ammunition of North Korean production exploded. We will remind that in January in the Kursk region a group of officers of the DPRK was killed.
