A video released by the Center for Testing Advanced Unmanned Technologies “Rubicon,” linked to the Russian Ministry of Defense, shows the destruction of a British-made AS-90 self-propelled artillery piece used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to the statement, on August 28, during a reconnaissance mission in the Lozovoe area, the Zala “Rubicon” surveillance drone team detected the movement of a tractor towing the artillery installation. The coordinates were immediately transmitted to the “Lancet” kamikaze drone team, which carried out the strike. Objective control confirmed the destruction of the target and the enemy crew.

What is the AS-90
The AS-90 (Artillery System for the 1990s) is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer developed by the United Kingdom at the end of the Cold War and entered service in 1992. Designed to offer high mobility and firepower, the vehicle features light armor and is capable of firing shells at distances over 24 km, exceeding 30 km with special munitions. Considered one of the main artillery systems of the British Army, the AS-90 was transferred in limited quantities to Ukraine as part of the military aid provided by London in the context of the conflict with Russia.
The destruction recorded in Lozovoe represents another significant loss for the long-range artillery assets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
