According to the statement of the 43rd Separate Artillery Brigade named after Hetman Taras Triasyl, the Ukrainian military used the 2S7 Pion self-propelled artillery to destroy Russia’s military equipment and save the lives of Ukrainian infantry in trenches, which were under enemy fire.
The 2S19 Msta is a 152.4 mm self-propelled howitzer designed by the Soviet Union, which entered service in 1989 as the successor to the 2S3 Akatsiya. The vehicle is based on the T-80 tank hull, but is powered by the T-72's diesel engine.
The 2S7 Pion is a Soviet self-propelled 203mm heavy artillery. "2S7" is its GRAU designation. The 2S7 uses a tracked chassis, that was designed specifically for this artillery system. It uses a number of automotive components from the T-72 and T-80 main battle tanks. It is powered by a V-46-I turbocharged liquid-cooled V-12 diesel engine, developing 750 horsepower (or 840). This artillery system is also fitted with auxiliary power unit, developing 24 hp and powering all systems when the main engine is shut down.
