  3. Aw come on guys. That thing was brand new and probably the only one they had.

  8. Distressing that they have “brand new” anything.

  9. When it shoots the whole thing wiggles strangely. I was expecting more like a rocking back with that large recuperator tube. This thing is going to destroy itself.

  10. lol, looks like they have wwII era ship gun that they LEGO’d onto a box truck, and added some fake armor

  11. Narrator:

    >>>
    The 120-mm Phlox self-propelled artillery gun on the chassis of the armored “Ural” was named after a flower, which translates from Greek as flame.

    Due to its design features, the gun with rifled barrel can be used as a cannon, howitzer or mortar.

  12. The only bad thing is, there is no confirmation, it got hit or destroyed. The kamikaze drone got near to it but due to the nearing ground, the contact to the drone got more and more worse, till the signal was nearly lost.

    And likely there is a reason, why the crew turned on the lights as example to reduce speed to turn right or left, so to see the street better. Last images seems the drone was overshooting the target and it seems the vehicle was slowing down.

    It would be cool to get images/aftermath videos, showing, they have killed the first system on day one in use or on the way on day one to the first firing position. It shall have been deployed on 05-Oct-2023, so yesterday.

  13. I’m so spoiled, no spotter drone to give us another angle of 💥?
