Russian artillerymen have begun using 2S7M "Malka" self-propelled guns with the support of drones. This tactic increases the speed and accuracy of strikes on targets, writes Army Recognition.
UAVs are used to identify and transmit target coordinates in real-time, allowing 2S7M "Malka" crews to quickly take position, deliver a devastating blow, and retreat before the enemy can counterattack.
The publication's journalists emphasized that the 2S7M "Malka" is a "modernized version of the Soviet 2S7 \"Pion,\" which still has no equal in firepower."
Each self-propelled gun shell weighs more than 110 kilograms. The 2S7M "Malka" crew consists of up to seven people, the artillery gun's rate of fire is 2.5 rounds per minute, and the range is up to 50 kilometers.
The firepower of the 2S7M "Malka", combined with precise guidance using drones, allows Russian forces to strike with deadly efficiency.
The gun is used to engage key military targets located deep within enemy territory, beyond the reach of standard barrel artillery. These include ammunition depots, command centers, troop concentrations, and logistics hubs.
