Three russian 2A65 Msta-B 152 mmtowed howitzers, as well as three MT-LB multi-purpose armored vehicles and one Ural truck were destroyed by Ukrainian artillery fire in the Bakhmut sector.
The video of the battle was released by the Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine Oleksandr Pivnenko. He reported that the russians were preparing their equipment for an assault in the Bakhmut sector. However, russian howitzers and armored vehicles did not have to take part in the offensive. Artillerymen of the "Rubizh" brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine struck a cluster of russian vehicles with fire from howitzers.

According to the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, three Msta-B howitzers, three MT-LB armored vehicles and a truck were destroyed.
The Rubizh Brigade (based in Gostomel) was founded in 2016 as part of an experimental program. Its functioning was based on the MDMP (Military decision making process) decision-making model, which is used in US military formations. This model is used for tactical planning, as well as training of battalion headquarters officers.
This is not the first time when the Defense Forces of Ukraine destroy a cluster of Msta-B howitzers. In 2022, the Kakhovka Operational Group posted a video showing how a tank unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine crushed an enemy Msta-B battery. The tanks, the models of which have not been released, destroyed a russian artillery position with at least two towed 152mm Msta-B howitzers by firing from closed positions. Then not a single russian gunner survived. We also wrote earlier, Ukrainian Special Forces Destroyed russian Msta-B Howitzer in Bakhmut Direction.
As for MT-LB multi-purpose armored vehicles – occupiers showed a lot of rather curious samples of how they tried to use the vehicles in rather unusual manner. Defense Express previously reported, that the russians were increasingly turning MT-LB into "kamikaze vehicles".
We also wrote, that the russians used A-22 naval MLRS mounted on MT-LB vehicle in the Kherson region as well as they installed the S-60 anti-aircraft gun on the MT-LB armored vehicle too.
