Russian artillerymen began to use 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 determine and transmit target coordinates in real time, which allows the 2S7M «Malka» crews to quickly take a position, deliver a crushing blow and retreat before the enemy begins to 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 projectile weighs more than 110 kilograms. The crew of the 2S7M «Malka» is up to seven people, the rate of fire of the artillery gun is 2.5 rounds per minute, 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 destroy key military targets located deep in enemy territory — beyond the reach of standard barrel artillery. These are ammunition depots, command centers, troop concentrations and logistics centers.
