The Ukrainian Defence Forces hit a Russian 240mm 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortar. The strike was carried out by a Polish AHS Krab howitzer.

Here's What We Know

The 2S4 Tyulpan was destroyed by soldiers of the 26th Artillery Brigade near the town of Bakhmut, Donetsk region. The high-precision 155 BONUS or SMArt 155 ammunition was used. Both projectiles are 155mm in calibre and are designed to hit armoured vehicles.

The 155 BONUS / SMArt 155 has two cluster warheads that detach when approaching the target and drop from above. At this point, the velocity of the munition is reduced. The SMArt 155 is lowered to the target using a parachute system, while the 155 BONUS is equipped with winglets. With luck, two enemy targets can be destroyed in one go.

The AHS Krab is a Polish 155mm self-propelled howitzer. It uses the chassis of the South Korean K9 Thunder and the turret of the British AS-90. It has a maximum range of 40 km. The combat vehicle can reach speeds of up to 67 km/h and has a range of 400 km.
