Three artillery brigades of Ukraine have demonstrated the destruction of Russian artillery in several directions. Both barrel and rocket artillery of the invaders came under attack. Western weapons were used to defeat the enemy artillery, which Ukraine had received from the Allies.
Thus, in the Bakhmut direction, an aerial reconnaissance unit of the 43rd Artillery Brigade discovered the positions of Russian artillery. For strikes launched on the positions of the invaders, the American ?142 HIMARS MRL was involved.
During engagement, the gunners hit the 2S1 Gvozdika 122mm self-propelled howitzer, the 2S5 Giacint-S 152mm ACS and the BM-21 Grad MLRS.

"The enemy had no chance. One shot, one kill," the brigade noted. Also in the Bakhmut direction, the 45th Artillery Brigade destroyed the 2S1 Gvozdika ACS.
It is worth noting that in order to destroy the equipment, it is not necessary to make a direct hit. In the case with this 2S1, the hit was not far from the ACS, but the debris reached the Gvozdika which then caught fire.
