The Russian military documented the tremendous firepower of Soviet 2S7M Malka self-propelled artillery as it discharged projectiles into the sky over Ukraine. The official video shows how Russian troops are dwarfed by the huge guns, which pack a blast so powerful it can physically incapacitate an unprepared soldier or crew member near it from concussive force. Zenger News obtained the clip Friday from the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of the Russian Federation, which said (in Russian): “Combat work of crews of self-propelled artillery mounts of high power 2S7M ‘Malka.'”
“‘Malka’ has a 203 mm caliber gun and is designed to solve special tasks – suppression and elimination of especially protected command posts, artillery, mortars, armored vehicles, rear areas, enemy manpower.
“The rate of fire of the gun is up to 2.5 rounds per minute, the range is about 50 kilometers.
“Modern Orlan-10 unmanned aerial vehicles are used for timely target detection, data transmission and fire adjustment.
