Ukraine have now started to deploy 100mm KS-19 anti-aircraft guns. These were made in 1947.

They’d be useless against aircraft nowadays but they will most likely act as artillery support for the frontline pic.twitter.com/MqgE1Pj9PD

That’s a very neurodivergent video, Ukraine captured only bilohorivka in Donetsk region and this was in September, since then they been only losing ground in that region. Those on the video are also really fine looking ks-19s that look like they didn’t seen any combat or they been refurbished for months. In mid video he also mentioned that at one point Russian captured those from Ukraine then in Kharkiv Ukrainian captured some of those back.

Unironically based (especially if Russia is also doing it)
Imagine shooting some fricking slav with the same type of gun your grandpa killed his grandpa with in WW2

These weigh a fricking lot (10 tons) compared to other towed artillery, and to be able to be transported anywhere requires towing power that some of Ukraine's older tanks can't provide as these older models are often under powered for that task. It's going to be interesting to see how these are leveraged with the hodge-podge of other vehicles that Ukraine's been given.

That's one way for eastern EU militaries to save on warehousing and utilization costs for all of the trash they've still got laying around
