Finally, Russia deployed a new Malva 152mm in Ukraine

The conflict in Ukraine has witnessed the deployment of various advanced weaponry, each bringing its unique impact to the battlefield. Throughout the war, Ukraine has received top-notch military technology from its allies. Meanwhile, Russia, despite standing alone, continues to demonstrate its formidable capabilities through its massive arsenal and ongoing innovations in military equipment. Since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Russian Armed Forces have been actively deploying and testing advanced combat vehicles and military equipment as part of their efforts to modernize their military might. These developments span a wide range of categories, including main battle tanks, armored fighting vehicles, air defense systems, and electronic warfare units. Among these innovations, the newly designed Russian 152mm Malva Self-Propelled Howitzer has garnered significant attention, especially as footage of this howitzer being deployed has surfaced. This raises the question: What capabilities does this new howitzer have? and will it put Ukraine in a more challenging position? _________________________________________________________________________ Attribution: By Vitaly V.
