The 2A36 Giatsint-B is a Soviet/Russian towed 152 mm field gun which entered service in 1975.

The 2A36 is designed to suppress and destroy enemy manpower and equipment. It is also suitable for counter-battery fire.

The news of the destruction of the Giatsint-B in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia comes after a deputy commander of North Ossetia’s volunteer battalion was killed in that area of the war-torn country.

On Wednesday, November 2, the head of Russia’s North Ossetia, Sergei Menyailo, announced the death of Viktor Zhidaev, the deputy commander of the Ossetia volunteer battalion, who went by the call sign “Vitos”.

Prior to that, on Tuesday, November 1, the Kastus Kalinovsky regiment of Belarus – a regiment of volunteers from Belarus, formed specifically to defend the south of Ukraine against Russian soldiers – released footage of them working closely with the 44th Artillery Brigade of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
