Ukrainian Air Assault Forces destroy Russian self-propelled gun near Sloviansk

The 81st Separate Slobozhanska Airmobile Brigade of Ukraine's Air Assault Forces has destroyed a Russian 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled artillery system in the Sloviansk sector. The operation represents continued Ukrainian efforts to neutralize Russian artillery capabilities in the eastern front.

The 2S3 Akatsiya is a Soviet-era self-propelled howitzer widely used by Russian forces for indirect fire support. Such artillery systems pose significant threats to Ukrainian positions and civilian areas. The destruction of this equipment demonstrates the Air Assault Forces' operational capabilities in the Sloviansk area, a strategically important sector of the Donetsk region where Russian and Ukrainian forces have been engaged in ongoing combat operations.
