Russian 152mm 2S3 “Akatsiya” Self-Propelled Gun Destroyed by Stugna-P

Stugna-P footage released by Ukrainian forces captures the destruction of a Russian 152mm 2S3 "Akatsiya" self-propelled gun in what is most likely the Donetsk region of Ukraine.


It's unclear exactly how an Akatsiya was this close to a Stugna-P system. Top theories at the moment are that this was a clandestine operation with the purpose of hunting and kill armor and artillery systems, or that this was an abandoned piece of an equipment. Generally speaking, you shouldn't be seeing anti-tank guided missile systems used on self-propelled guns that are sitting far behind the front-line in a support role.


I'm sure there will be theories down in the comments. It's worth noting that we cannot independently verify that this was filmed in the Donetsk region. Sometimes we're playing telephone with the footage we find. This is one of those instances. Should the region be corrected elsewhere, we'll come back to and update this post with more correct information.
