Russian 2S5 Giatsint-S are in theater. Just saying.

Take it for what its worth given the sheer amount of propaganda coming out of theater, so yeah.

The Russian batteries are self-propelled; the Ukie-American howitzers are towed.

Disadvantage: Ukie.

Longer range, more easily moved.

Counter battery fire makes fixed guns just about obsolete.

A foolish thing.

Patton said something like, fixed fortifications are monuments to stupidity. So are fixed guns on the modern battlefield.

The Russian will fire thousands and thousands or rounds.
Then, the barrel will be worn out.
Then, NATO will loudly proclaim they take credit for worn out artillery, a true game changer
