Russian tank and two infantry vehicles explode into a huge fireball after Ukrainian forces destroy them with British howitzers

New footage shows Ukrainian troops obliterating a Russian tank and two infantry fighting vehicles using British M777 howitzers.

Aerial footage purports to show the 81st Airmobile Brigade using the long-range weapons to target the vehicles.

The Command of the Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said: 'Gunners of the 81st Brigade of the DShV [Ukrainian Air Assault Forces] destroyed one tank and two infantry fighting vehicles of the Russian invaders.

'The video shows the successful work of artillery soldiers of the 81st Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who, using British M777 155-mm field howitzers, destroyed equipment and manpower of the racists.

'In particular, one tank and two infantry fighting vehicles of the Russian occupiers - along with their crews - were turned into scrap metal. Death to the Russian occupiers! DShV - Always First! Glory to Ukraine!'

It is the latest blow to Russian forces who have suffered heavy losses to personnel and military hardware in their costly four-month invasion.

I guess the have to dumb them down for in case they are captured by the Russians. Maybe some way could be designed to make the howitzer blow up if started without a password. Or perhaps small explosives or other destruct mechanism could be attached to secret parts so they are destroyed if not approached in the approved manner. I understand Russia is having problems trying to use US farm equipment they stole in Ukraine that won’t work unless approached correctly.

There's a video of the M777s being loaded into air cargo transport on YouTube...
Ukraine bound M777s?

IAC, if they are available, I'll take two for the waterfront homestead... Need protection against any commie subs or ships in the Chesapeake Bay...

Ukraine bound M777s

Title of the video: "US Forces load American M777 155mm Howitzers bound for Ukraine"

Which was my point, they ain't "British."

You can have an M777, but you have to pay a $200 tax on the howitzer as an NFA Destructive Device, and a $200 tax on each round you own. (No refunds when you expend a round.)

Operating cost no problem if I could just keep my 83-year-old wife out of the casinos...

If that happened (by some miracle), maybe we could even eat something other than canned dog food...

In 1960, my Dad warned me about marrying a woman much younger than myself...
