Meet The Big Russian Artillery Piece Ukraine Fears Most

The Russians appear to have a distinct advantage in field artillery over the Ukrainians. They have hundreds of artillery pieces embedded within their battalion tactical groups. One artillery system that is the king of battle is the 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled howitzer. The 2S19 Msta is a 152.4 mm self-propelled howitzer designed by the Soviet Union, which entered service in 1989 as the successor to the 2S3 Akatsiya. The vehicle is based on the T-80 tank hull, but is powered by the T-72's diesel engine. It is designed for deployment either as an unarmored towed gun, or to be fitted in armored self-propelled artillery mountings. Current production of the towed model is designated Msta-B, while the self-propelled model is the Msta-S.
