According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 14th, the Luhansk militia organization seized an American 155mm M777 howitzer as a trophy for the first time. The militia organization released a video of about 20 seconds, which showed a close-up of the "captured" M777 howitzer. The Russian side carried out high-profile publicity on this matter, and the United States may not even be able to sleep well.

It is understood that this type of howitzer is one of the weapons provided by the United States to the Ukrainian army, with a caliber of 155 mm. The Ukrainian army has previously used this howitzer to attack many cities including Donetsk , causing With a large number of civilian casualties, it can be called one of the most powerful weapons in the hands of the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainian army attaches great importance to this type of howitzer. At the end of June, sources from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense revealed that the Ukrainian army removed the GPS system installed on the M777 howitzers obtained from the West in order to prevent these howitzers from falling into the hands of the Russian army.

Konstantin Sivkov, a doctor of Russian military science, pointed out the reason why the Ukrainian army did this. He said that through the study of this "trophy", the Russian army can master the technical characteristics of the M777 howitzer and then find a way to deal with it. Sivkov said that the captured M777 is very useful to Russia, and Russian experts will study its ballistic characteristics and other properties and formulate countermeasures. After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the M777 howitzer was often reported in Russian media. According to incomplete statistics, so far, the Russian army has destroyed and destroyed Ukraine a US-made M777 howitzer operation training center. The Russian army and militia groups have destroyed multiple M777 howitzers in many areas of Ukraine, and also destroyed multiple storage areas. M777 supporting ammunition warehouses, hangars, ammunition depots, , etc. On July 14, local time, Russian artillery also destroyed a US-made M-777 howitzer platoon in a residential area in the May 1st District of Kharkiv Region.

M777 The frequency of its appearance shows its importance on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. Not all M777s used by the Ukrainian army are aided by the United States, and some are from Norway and other countries. This also shows that its performance has been recognized by many countries. recognized. It is understood that the M777 is the world's lightest 155mm towed howitzer, with a total gun weight of less than 4.22 tons, only half the weight of the conventional 155mm artillery . The cost of each M777 is as high as US$700,000. The high price has led the United States to only equip it with the Marine Corps, which focuses on rapid response capabilities.

Sivkov said that the US-made M777 is lighter than the Russian-made Msta-B 152mm howitzer, has greater ground maneuverability and is easier to carry. In addition, the M777 also has the characteristics of small size and low gun body, making it a "strong general" on the plateau and mountainous battlefields. If such a weapon falls into the hands of Russia, which has a strong military-industrial system and advanced scientific research level, Russia will definitely study it thoroughly from the inside out. The Russian military will take its essence and discard the dross, and improve and recreate it on this basis. It will also use its characteristics to counter the United States. You can imagine how panicked the United States will be. Speaking of which, Russia has to thank the Ukrainian army for dismantling GPS on M777. The United States cannot find it back even if it wants to.

Talking about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the crisis in Ukraine has lasted for nearly half a year so far. With the support of Western countries, the Ukrainian army has sustained it until now. Now the Ukrainian army is fighting hard, and the Ukrainian people are struggling to survive in the war. The United States, the driving force behind the situation, is free to run small anti-China circles around the world, playing group politics and confrontation. Even and NATO , which have been calling for confrontation with Russia, are working hard to squeeze into the Asian stage.

The most important thing for Ukraine right now is to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the most effective way to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is through dialogue. Under the current international situation, all countries need to abandon the Cold War mentality and end the hot war as soon as possible. Only in this way can the imminent food crisis and financial crisis be resolved as quickly as possible.
