Syria Update: 2S3 Akatsiya 152-mm Self-Propelled Howitzer in Action
November 23, 2013
Having failed to move deeper in downtown Damascus City, the militants have once again resorted to their familiar tactics of sporadic terrorist acts aimed at destabilizing the general situation in and near the city’s neighborhoods including by constantly firing at the civil traffic of the nearby thoroughfares thus claiming that the roads are their battle areas now. Syrian army troops keep pushing the terrorists away from the roads by actively engaging the enemy in al-Qabun municipality, located to the north of Jobar.
The night before, the militants had managed to make their way under the basement of one of the local buildings and detonated it. Six SAA soldiers were killed in the explosion. The collapsed building has exposed the militant positions and Syrian army 2S3 Akatsiya 152-mm self-propelled howitzer moved out to demolish them. After damaging the militant positions, the howitzer received a message on terrorist fighters’ movement in the area and promptly opens fire on them.
Having fulfilled its mission, the Akatsiya rolls out and returns to its artillery regiment home base.
