Partisans have reported the movement of the "Msta-S" artillery system by Russian forces in the Krasnodar region.

Partisans have reported the overturning of the "Msta-S" self-propelled howitzer in the Krasnodar region of Russia. It is likely being transported to more intense frontlines.

This information comes from RBK-Ukraine citing the partisan movement "ATESH".

"Our agents have detected an urgent redeployment of self-propelled artillery units from Novorossiysk," the "ATESH" report states.

According to the partisans, due to a lack of equipment, Russian forces are reactivating systems that were previously reserved for the southern fronts. They are being sent to the hottest areas of combat in the Donetsk and Kursk regions.

Additionally, partisans have documented the overturning of North Korean self-propelled howitzers and the beginning of preparations for their use by Russian forces.

"Such actions indicate a critical shortage of artillery on the front lines for the occupiers. Successful strikes by Ukrainian forces on ammunition depots only worsen their problems in certain areas of the front," the statement notes.

"Msta-S"

"Msta-S" is a Soviet 152-mm self-propelled artillery system developed in the 1970s. It is designed to destroy enemy positions, support ground units, and engage armored vehicles. It can fire at distances of up to 30 km using specialized shells.

The main advantage of the "Msta-S" is its high mobility due to its tracked chassis, which allows for rapid movement across various terrains. This howitzer is still in service in several countries that continue to utilize Soviet artillery designs.

Previously, RBK-Ukraine reported that in the past 24 hours, on November 18, Defense Forces eliminated a total of 1610 terrorists. Specifically, the following were destroyed:

17 tanks;

33 armored fighting vehicles;

46 artillery systems.
