The most important part was buried in the article: “14 counter-artillery radars.”

The the mobile radar can pinpoint enemy artillery from up to 20 miles away.

It can be fired upon just as great, especially when there are just 14 of them. Ukrainian officers also have a history of selling them to DNR rebels.

Until the Orlon-10 artillery battery drone spots them.

I was a trained artilleryman, but never really worked in my MOS, although was assigned to an artillery unit for 5 years. The trick is, when your howitzer fires a round 14 miles and th other guys can fire 8 miles, the guy shooting 8 miles has a problem. Even in the late 70s when I was in, as soon as you shot a couple rounds from a battery, it moved because of ground radar back then. They even have what s called “fuze hole” analysis, where all it takes is a couple sticks to calculate where a round came from.
