In May the British Army retired its 89 AS90s, handing them all over to Ukraine. The Third Assault Brigade received at least 12, replacing their Soviet-era 2S19 Msta-S. They are pleased with their new weapon.

“When the enemy begins pushing toward our infantry, we engage to stop them from even getting close,” Skrypa said. “I had a situation where about 30 [Russians] started gathering in a tree line, preparing to attack our guys — storm troopers. But they didn’t make it. We fired several shells, and that was it, none of them wanted to come back.”

...

Initially the UK planned to send only 30 [AS90] howitzers, which were transferred in January 2023. Yet the Ukrainian crews have proved so capable they were gifted all of them. The artillery systems, designed in the 1990s, were retired by the British Army because of their age and their lumbering lack of mobility for the modern battlefield. But they are still proving their worth in Ukraine and have become a high priority target for Russian drones designed in 2025.

Ukrainian investigators suspect that some Mexican and Colombian volunteers intentionally sought placement in drone operator units with the aim of later using this training in the service of foreign criminal organizations. A few individuals reportedly demonstrated an “unusual obsession” with UAV instruction, at the expense of other military training. Among them is a Mexican national using the alias “Águila-7,” who registered in March 2024 under a false Salvadoran identity.

Several private military and security companies are also mentioned in the probe:

Grupo ROKA Seguridad, a Mexico-based industrial security firm, was named in confidential reports by Polish customs officials. The company has been linked to the smuggling of firearms and personnel entering Ukraine through the Medyka–Shehyni border crossing. In Colombia, SEGURCOL SAS, based in Cali and Medellín, reportedly recruited former Colombian Army rangers on behalf of foreign clients.

The strike was conducted using a combination of drones and traditional artillery fire. Ukrainian forces first identified the enemy systems using aerial reconnaissance, then followed up with precise strikes that rendered all three guns inoperable and eliminated at least one russian transport vehicle at the scene.

This dual-method attack reflects Ukraine's growing ability to integrate modern drone intelligence with conventional artillery tactics, a critical capability in countering russian artillery dominance. The destruction of enemy guns at long range limits the invaders' ability to suppress Ukrainian positions and offers much-needed relief to troops under fire.

The 2A36 and 2A65 systems destroyed in this strike are no small targets. The Giatsint-B system boasts a 152 mm caliber and a maximum firing range of 28–33 kilometers. The Msta-B howitzer, also 152 mm, is a key component of russian divisional artillery. Taking out three such pieces in a single operation represents a significant tactical win.

These howitizers are crucial to the Russian war effort, Ukraine itself uses the 4 wheeled carriage from the 2A36 for the Bohdana towed gun because it was built to carry a serious cannon.

Footage like this is great news for Ukraine! These are not easy to replace, for anybody, including Russia and yet they are absolutely necessary for fullscale land wars.
