The gun broke the projectile from China: the media reported the details of the incident from the AKACAC "Acacia" of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (photo)

According to the Russian artilleryman, the SAU exploded through a defective light shell from China. Experts say that the projectile could come from Iran and released it 40 years ago. Russian artilleryman Rafcat Abdullin wrote a complaint with the Russian Defense Ministry, in which he stated that he had lost his leg due to a poor Chinese projectile.

The projectile tore the muzzle of the Akaca SAU on the Zaporizhzhya Front shade in Ukraine, the Russian barely crawled out of the burning artwork and now demands that they punished the officials who purchased such shells. In addition, in his opinion, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has a problem with the wear of the gun barrels, but no one monitors. The details of the situation with the rupture of the mud of the gun were written on the portal "Radio Freedom. Russia".

Abdullin's complaint stated that the incident happened on October 31, 2023 during the fighting in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhya region near the robot. According to him, he was inside the AKACA SAU and performed the functions of the driving mechanic. At some point, after the fire "Fire", the SAU muzzle broke and it became like "tulip". The man barely got out, but as a result he was amputated above his knee.

In this regard, he has claims to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and shells from China. The tank indicated that the gun was charged with a shell 152 mm "light". He is convinced that the projectile was released in China, but is not able to show the photo that would prove it. At the same time, he cited the reasons why the muzzle broke out. In particular, the reasons for the defective Chinese projectile and the wear of the gun barrel.

The post published photos depicting the consequences of the Chinese projectile explosion inside the muzzle of the gun. The photos can be seen that the muzzle was torn along and the strip of metal was bent like flower petals. It is also noticeable where the individual fragments were sustained by the CAU body. The portal journalists have consulted with the experts of the Conflict Intelligence Team research group.

According to experts, it is doubtful that the explosion occurred due to the wear of the barrel. In their view, a poor projectile or foreign objects inside the muzzle could be the cause of the incident. As for the origin of the projectile from China, they indicate that in the spring of 2023 it was indeed reported on the appearance of projectiles produced in China on the front. They also explained why the Russians fired a lighting projectile.

Today, there is no need to use such shells to light the territory at night, so they are processed into combat. However, it is because of this processing from time to time that the muzzles broke into Russian guns, experts say. It should be noted that Focus wrote about another version of the origin of the projectile, which severed the muzzle of the SAU "Acacia". According to the military observer Alexander Kovalenko, we talk about the projectile production of the DPRK.

The proof of this version says that the media reported 1 million shells that Russia received from North Korea. Meanwhile, in early June, investigators found that the Russian Federation could get Chinese shells from Iran - there were resale of parties produced 40 years ago. We would like to remind you that a production site near Moscow was shown in the Russian Federation, where drones for war in Ukraine can produce.
