I wonder what the service life of the truck frame is with that big ass gun banging away on it…
Such beautiful snow
pardon my ignorance but can this hit anything ? seems planes fly so fast that this cannon would not be able to hit the plane prior to them leaving (ok perhaps with radar and some very good math they could fire in advance but i find that very hard to do)
​
Damn, I’m shivering just thinking of the icy coldness of trying to operate that frozen steel. Hope they can keep warm!
