The US has used the shoot and scoot method using self propelled artillery for decades. Radar controlled counter battery fire was used quite well in the 60’s. Ivan needs to get with the program.

This is all neocon scare tactics. I’m convinced someone wants something to start between us and the Russians.

I was doing split battery scoot and shoot with my M-106 SP 4.2” mortar plt in 1977. First fire mission was all 4 tubes, then 2 would leave with FDC and 2 would stay with me using a plotting board. We would fire the second mission then leave. Granted mortars are low priority counterbattery targets.
