What appears to be pro-Ukrainian propaganda surfacing on social media today, shows a Ukrainian artillery battery demonstrating the power behind the Soviet engineered 2S7 Pion.
The 2S7 Pion is a 203mm, heavy artillery weapon system that was adopted in 1976, just a few years before the Soviet-Afghan war. In an article published in 2014, the Ministry of Defense predicted Ukraine to house nearly 100 of these weapon systems in its arsenal. Since 2014, there is no telling whether this arsenal expanded; however we'd like to assume Ukraine has been putting these 100 "predicted" systems to work over the past few weeks.
