The video shows how a precision shot fired from the Archer wheeled self-propelled artillery system destroys a Russian Msta-S tracked self-propelled howitzer.
The destroyed Russian howitzer was quite well camouflaged, but aerial reconnaissance managed to successfully detect it and transmit data to the Ukrainian artillery brigade.
The Swedish-made Archer wheeled self-propelled artillery system was used to destroy the Russian howitzers.
According to Forbes, the Archer artillery system is considered one of the best in the world. This Swedish 155 mm self-propelled howitzer can fire at a range of 30-60 km, while Russian artillery is limited to 30 km. tag.
The Archer is unique among wheeled howitzers in that while it fires the same NATO-standard 155mm shells as the other guns, it fires farther. This range is partly due to the effective powder charges developed by the Swedish gun manufacturer Bofors.
Archers can also use projectiles, including Excalibur, which greatly extend their firing range.
Militarnyj notes that the high level of automation makes the Archer the best weapon of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for combating howitzers, as the system can be fully ready for use in just 20 seconds.
In addition, all preparatory processes for shooting and the shooting itself are fully automated and controlled by the operator from the cockpit.
The destruction of the Russian artillery system occurred in the Luhansk region.

Sony Cancels PlayStation Network Account Requirement for Helldivers 2, Easing Concerns for Players Worldwide
Sony Cancels Mandatory PlayStation Network Account for Helldivers 2 Following Backlash
Sony reverses decision on Helldivers 2
Sony has recently announced the reversal of their decision regarding the requirement for a PlayStation Network (PSN) account in order to play the highly anticipated game, Helldivers 2. This decision comes after the extensive feedback received from the Helldivers fan community. Initially, Sony had planned to implement the account linking update on May 6, mandating the linking of Steam and PlayStation Network accounts for both existing players and new players from May 30 onwards. However, in an unexpected twist, the company has decided to listen to the concerns raised and backtrack on this requirement, as revealed on their official Twitter account.
The official statement from Sony reads, “Helldivers fans — we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.”
Negative reactions and player support
Before Sony’s reversal, the introduction of mandatory PlayStation Network account linking had resulted in a surge of negative reviews on the Steam platform for Helldivers 2, a popular third-person shooter game developed by Arrowhead. Despite Sony remained silent for the duration of the weekend, the CEO of Arrowhead consistently posted updates on the situation, keeping the fans informed. With this recent development, both the developers and the players can set their minds at ease.
However, the repercussions have already taken their toll. Helldivers 2 continues to bear the brunt of negative reviews on Steam, an unfortunate outcome that will likely take some time to recover from. Moreover, the controversy surrounding Helldivers 2 has now affected other Arrowhead games, such as Helldivers 1, which has also been subject to review bombing.
Sony’s reputation affected
As Sony has expressed a strong desire to expand into the live service space and has even recently acquired Bungie, this recent series of events has left some gamers puzzled and questioning the company’s sensibilities. Sony’s purchase of Bungie and their involvement in publishing Helldivers 2 suggests their commitment to the gaming industry, making this misstep all the more perplexing. Undoubtedly, such blunders have tarnished Sony’s reputation, potentially raising doubt in the minds of players and developers considering collaborations with the gaming giant. It remains to be seen how this incident will impact the company’s long-term standing.
The aftermath and the future of Helldivers 2
While the repercussions of this weekend’s debacle are still to be fully understood, the good news for Helldivers 2 enthusiasts is that the game is once again accessible for all. However, it will take time to erase the negative impact that has already affected the game’s reputation on Steam. Yet, the determination of the developers and the loyal support of the players may prove instrumental in carving a brighter future for the much-loved third-person shooter.
The biggest private records leak in history
Cybersecurity researchers have warned that the recent leak of over 26 billion private records has been dubbed the biggest data leak in history.
According to the report, this leak includes sensitive data of several websites including Twitter, Dropbox and LinkedIn.
Worryingly, researchers who tracked down the leak say the breach is extremely dangerous and could trigger a tsunami of cybercrime.
Bob Diachenko, owner of SecurityDiscovery.com, and other researchers pinpointed the data breach at an unsecured opportunity.
Although the identity of the breach is unknown, researchers believe that hackers, data brokers or a service that processes large amounts of data are behind it.
Initial studies of the data suggest that this is not a new breach, but a collection of past data breaches.
According to the researchers, some of the 12 terabytes of records contain duplicates. However, due to the sensitivity of the information contained in the exposed data, data breaches are of great concern.
The researchers said that this dataset is extremely dangerous and can be used by cybercriminals for a wide range of attacks. These attacks include identity theft, sophisticated fraud schemes, specialized cyber attacks and illegal access to private and sensitive accounts.
