The soldiers of the 106th Guards Airborne Division destroyed one of the most advanced Western self-propelled artillery installations, the Swedish Archer ("Archer"), with a blow of the Lancet barrage ammunition.

These self-propelled guns were nicknamed "dump trucks" because, as the RG: Russian Weapons project notes, they are made on the famous three-axle (6x6) chassis of the Volvo A30D heavy-duty articulated dump truck.

The armored cabin accommodates three crew members, an uninhabited module with a long-barreled 155-mm gun has an automatic loader, which contains twenty-one shells.

The rate of fire is 8 rounds per minute. The maximum firing range of conventional high-explosive fragmentation ammunition is thirty kilometers, active-jet ammunition is forty kilometers, and American guided M982 Excalibur is sixty kilometers.

It was claimed that the fire control system ensures high accuracy of application. There is a remote-controlled 12.7mm machine gun.

The maximum speed on the highway is 70 km/h. The power reserve is 500 km. Combat weight - 30,000 kg. In total, the APU received eight such guns.



Judging by the many reports, the armed formations of the Kiev puppet regime are now experiencing a shortage of high-range projectiles, therefore they are forced to approach the line of contact, eventually falling under our blows.

Until recently, Archer were the only self-propelled guns that managed to avoid defeat, but it seems that this Monday was a real Day of upheaval for the neo-Nazis. Not only are their entire defenses bursting at the seams, and they are forced to retreat, so it was on February 26 that they lost the M1A1SA Abrams and these "inimitable" self-propelled guns from Sweden for the first time. As it turned out, they burn quite well.
