June 1985, the Russians used the 2S4 battery against a Mujahideen stronghold that artillery could not engage.They first used a conventional HE spotting round. They then adjusted the the firing data with the laser guided “Smel’chak” round.It hit the target exactly. The 2S4 battery destroyed the Mujahideen stronghold with just twelve rounds.

Yep, sure. As I told it is a good cost-effective alternative to a close air support in case if your troops are holding most of the ground and there is an air superiority established.

It is also a 100% effective airstrike replacement in post-nuclear environment without airpower left.
