The Russian invaders have suffered significant losses in their artillery systems, including the Msta-S self-propelled howitzer, Giatsint-S self-propelled gun, and Nona-S self-propelled mortar, across different parts of the frontline. Photos and videos showcasing the destroyed equipment have been released by observers monitoring losses in the Ukrainian-Russian war, as well as the Russian invaders themselves.

One of the Russian 2S19M2 Msta-S self-propelled howitzers was destroyed in the Kherson region in July 2024. The photos reveal that the 152-mm self-propelled howitzer caught fire after sustaining a hit, though the type of weapon used is unknown. Another Msta-S howitzer met the same fate in the Luhansk region in June 2024, with footage showing ammunition exploding inside.

In addition, a 120-mm Nona-S self-propelled mortar was destroyed by Ukrainian nighttime drones known as “Baba Yaha.” Although the Russian invaders claim they will repair the damaged mortar, video evidence shows it to be completely burned from the inside, raising doubts about the feasibility of restoration.

Furthermore, a 152-mm Giatsint-S self-propelled gun was completely destroyed in a powerful explosion during the winter of 2024. The hull of the Russian artillery system was shattered into fragments. The sources of information include the Telegram channels “War in Ukraine. Loss of equipment” and “Russia No Context.”
