Ukraine Captures 11 Ancient KS-19 Anti-Aircraft Artillery Pieces in Donetsk

Mount them on all terrain trucks and they will become a lot more useful and efficient than they will be on wheeled trolleys …..every little helps!
Your observation doesn't say anything about the condition of the tubes. If they're all in good condition/within normal limits wear, they're still effective. If they're half worn-out, not so much…and they're not going to have a long service life either way.
It's not as weird as it seems when you consider these can just be used as artillery. I highly doubt anyone was using them to shoot at aircraft in normal operations.
I suggest that you look at the videos of Ukrainian crews interviewed after receiving more modern artillery to replace old ones. They certainly know the difference.
What Crap!!
Keybord warriors: hAHa Ruzzia use antiks
Also kboard warriors: If ukranians capture enough of them they could actually use them effectively
"Ancient"? Its still a good ground weapon. i dont think regular russian units or wagner use it. but i think its used from militia. calibre is 100mm its enough for ground fighting.
Another museum lost their exponats.
the most plausible explanation is that these were ukranian, captured then recaptured. why because everyone had more important things to worry about.
Yes, they are old. Yes, they are museum pieces,however, you use what you have got, and a 70 year old shell will kill the same as a 70-seconds old shell
Old maybe, but still better than anything the Ukrainazis have left
Anti Air Artillery?
Russia troll keep talk about Kornet-M and 2S6
And this is true Russia got
Donetsk is using a JS-3 Josef Stalin tank from World War II. They took it from a war memorial, got it operational, and used it for their parades. I'm not certain if they used it in combat…yet.
Drone magnets: could be used with conscripts, firing simultaneously with more concealed, more accurate and newer weapons to draw counter battery fire and costly drones.
Might be just the thing for shooting down slow Shahid drones.
That's pretty insulting to the Mauritanian military to be compared to the Russian military. They haven't been b!tch-slapped and bvtt-fvcked day-after-day for 380+ days straight by a country they thought they would defeat in 3 days. Please record an apology to the brave fighting men of Mauritania and all those others that you similarly insulted.
100mm is still not bad, this wll be nice for urban actions. fire some rounds with airburst shells into buildings and trenches is okay. hope we see some shoots from them soon
Like the kremlins bots would say, “it’s better than a wet paper straw”
They are useful in ground combat Similar to the German 88 in WW2. Can hit at enemy hiding in building or at APC's and Tanks.
Captured? Lol, clowns are stable. These guns were removed from conservation and they were stored in Ukrainian warehouses. They pulled them out of the warehouses around the same time that equipment irradiated with radiation began to disappear in the Chernobyl landfills, miserable propaganda
They may be old, but 10/10 would not want to get shot by one.
museum pieces and fossils lol these guns should be in black and white
Unfortunately the Ukranian flags aren't as obvious as the covid mask as a litmus test for avoiding idiots but still valuable.
"Captured"? Those weapons haven't been moved in thirty years.
Still a good gun, and it fires fast.
I'll bet on, they're fossils
I wonder if they were abandoned on purpose because they are not any good
@suchomimus if they slap a new paint job on it, its considered modernized in russian military. all the rest of the funds go for european villas and billion dollar yachts for russian politicians.
Is this the "better equipment" Russia has been saving for later?
Russia is creating a very nice steel recycling industry for Ukraine.
I think Russia has huge inventories of 100mm ammunition and are trying to find anything that can fire it. That might also be the reason we see T-54 and T-55 tanks moving around. China and North Korea might have large stocks of older ammunition that they can funnel towards Russia if Russia has some gun that can fire it.
"freikorps"…b rrrrruh thats fkd up to say the least
Failed state dickhead military parades, the ones that preach bullshite imaginary foes whilst wheeling out their latest limp phallic virility symbol now know the master performer has left the room. Pathetic would be a compliment.
Could be sold to North Korea for executing relatives and others who fall out of favor?
The gun carriage looks a lot like the German Flak 88 or WW2. Even the numbers needed to support the thing is similar.
the most important thing is if those barrels are even worth saving [they could be] and the ammo available. the barrels could at least be good for scrap. make rebar out of it like we do.
Wow!
Korean War veterans.
Maybe, human Korean veterans will be the next group of call-ups to mobilize.
Look like they could make a mess out of a Su-25. 100 mm shell would shred even that plane. IF they could hit it.
Excellent vids with typical British dry humour
Those are on the way to a museum, I hope. Слава Україні!!!
Makes me wonder whether Russia is using these just to get rid of them, or because it's all they've got!
"Military Heavyweights" many chuckles. Many.
