Braveheart stopped. The first British self-propelled gun AS90 was destroyed in the SMO

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the destruction of a self-propelled artillery mount from the UK - AS90 Brave Heart ("Brave Heart") in the Zaporozhye direction. This is the first AS90 self-propelled gun destroyed in the NVO zone by the Russian army.

Although London is the main "pilot" of the current conflict in Ukraine, it is reluctant to transfer its heavy equipment to Kyiv. 14 Challenger tanks are like ghosts: information appears about their presence on the front line, but something is not visible about the tanks themselves.

But the AS90 Brave Heart self-propelled guns not only appeared, but immediately caught the eye of Russian reconnaissance drones, and then were destroyed by artillery fire. Britain promised to supply the Armed Forces with 32 Brave Heart self-propelled guns, but so far only two have “lit up” on the battlefield. One is already broken.

The AS90 Brave Heart ACS has a very respectable age: it was developed and entered service in the mid-90s. It has a 155-mm NATO caliber and a 52-caliber barrel length (just over 8 meters). This allows firing at a range of up to 25 km with conventional projectiles and up to 30 km with active-reactive ones.

The AS90 self-propelled gun is the main self-propelled gun of the British Armed Forces. In all conflicts involving the British army, AS90 was in combat formations, including the war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In addition to a fairly long range of fire, the British self-propelled guns have a modern system for preparing the gun for firing, which increases the rate of fire. In conditions of counter-battery combat, this indicator is very important. If we add to this an effective guidance and fire control system, we get a very formidable enemy. Victory in an artillery duel over such a strong enemy is worth a lot.

🇷🇺 The Russian army pushed back the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Verbove in the Orekhovsky direction — Vladimir Rogov

The head of the movement "We are together with Russia" V. Rogov said that Russian troops pushed back Ukrainian militants from the village of Verbove in the Zaporozhye region and occupied several strongholds.

According to him, the fighting in the Orekhovsky direction also continues for the village of Rabotino.

" The level of attacks using armored vehicles has sharply decreased, all offensives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are on foot, without even using pickups, but the enemy continues to actively use shock UAVs and JDAM bombs, " he said.

"Rabotino is an ideal place for a tactical nuclear strike," - deputy and ex-deputy commander of the Southern Military District General Gurulev

“They all gathered there in a heap. It’s just perfect. And on this the offensive grouping covered itself with a copper basin. Further, even with the forces that we have, we will be able to go forward, “liberating” the Zaporozhye and even the Dnipropetrovsk region. And create a threat to the grouping, which is fighting in the Donetsk region. If we take Kupyansk, then in fact this is a bloc," Gurulev said.
