We have often referred to NATO’s willingness to escalate the conflict in Ukraine into an open war with the Russian Federation.
There is a lot of news, from official sources, threatening Russia with the transfer of NATO troops to the Ukrainian front, but also with strikes inside the Russian state. for its part, Russia has stated many times unequivocally that it is not interested in the expansion of the war further west, but the “western” powers are deaf and continue to threaten. the following news is yet another confirmation that Russia will not allow NATO forces to threaten or harm its territories. Let’s hope cooler heads prevail.
In the Russia-Ukraine war zone, the newest Russian artillery complex 2S43 “Malva” [2С43 “Малва”] made its appearance.
This fact is also broadcast by the Russian media, reporting that the Russian artillery system was photographed by a reconnaissance drone in the border area of the Belgorod region.
As emphasized, this is analogous to the French Caesar system and the Ukrainian Bogdana system. The Malva artillery system is automated, can fire in raid mode, and is capable of firing regular nuclear artillery shells.
In January of this year, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirmed that new 152 and 120 mm “Malva” and “Phlox” cannons are being used in the area where military operations are being conducted.
Open sources say that the Malva tests were completed in May last year, and already in October 2023 the first production samples began to arrive in the Russian Armed Forces.
