In one of the areas, Ukrainian artillerymen, thanks to interaction with aerial reconnaissance, destroyed the MT-12 gun, which was still in service with the Soviet army. On April 9, the 43rd separate artillery brigade named after Hetman Taras Tryasil announced this on Facebook.
I don’t hit, the willow hits! As a result of the interaction of our guns and aerial reconnaissance, the Russian MT-12 gun was hit, the military noted and published a video.
As you know, the MT-12 “Rapier” is a Soviet 100-mm towed anti-tank gun, created in the Soviet Union in the late 1960s. It was put into service in 1972 to replace the T-10 gun, which had been in service since 1955, replacing the 100 mm D-10 field gun.
So the gun is served by six fighters, and its combat weight is more than 3 tons. The range of a direct shot is 2 thousand 200 m, and the maximum firing range of high-explosive fragmentation ammunition is 8 thousand 200 m.
Recall that the Ukrainian military on one of the sectors of the front destroyed a rare radar system of the Russian army “Repyashki” using the M777 howitzer, of which there were only 11 in the occupying army. This modern Russian electronic warfare is designed to detect UAVs.
