The 2S4 Tyulpan is a heavy 240 mm self-propelled mortar. It is one of the most powerful artillery systems in the russian army, capable of destroying fortifications, bunkers, and other fortified positions.
Although it was designed to fire nuclear shells, the conventional ammunition of choice are the 53-F-864 high-explosive projectile (range: 9.65 km) and 3F2 extended-range round. More design details here.
The destruction of such weapons is a significant achievement, as the Tyulpan is usually used to shell positions of Ukrainian troops. Thanks to the precise work of Ukrainian drones and the coordinated actions of operators, it was possible to inflict significant losses on the russian occupiers.
This episode is another example of the effectiveness of modern tactics using FPV drones, which Ukrainian forces are increasingly using on the front lines to destroy enemy equipment and manpower.
Earlier Defense Express reported that Ukrainian forces had hit russian positions in the Vovchansk sector and destroyed two Murom-M systems.
