"All of those injured from arrivals but no one has killed": which SAU Artillerymen considers to be ashamed

To extend: Artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believe that foreign self -propelled artillery units are very capricious in maintenance. Some need 22 types of oils, others - dusting dust. Ukrainian artillerymen on the forefront are used against the Russian invaders of artillery, both domestic and foreign production. One of the self -propelled artillery plants, they call the Swedish SAU Archer and German Panzerhaubitze 2000.

Pavel Narozhivny said this in an interview with "Economic Truth" - the head of the reactive mail charitable fund, which helps Ukrainian artillerymen. "It is a fully automated SAU, a megalasher from all points of view. A person presses a buttock, the armored capsule rises, he stands on the jacks, the system itself takes a powder charge, shoots with surgical accuracy at 40+ kilometers. Even in the cabin, there is a pan to prepare dinner.

" However, he notes that the SAU has its nuances - 22 types of oils are required for its maintenance. "The same with the German Panzerhaubitze 2000. She likes it. The exact, fast. She has a big plus that she is on the basis of Leopard 2 tank. The crew sits all in armor. Officers from one unit said: "Reactive Mail". He noted that this SAU is very demanding of cleanliness. "One day, the commander of the 43rd brigade, Oleg Shevchuk, called me at that time and asked to buy 8 saws of Bosch.

I did not understand at once and asked why they do general cleaning in the brigade. It turned out that the system was very afraid Shoot, " - says Paul. He also noted that there were curious situations with the German SAU when the artillerymen on Panzerhaubitze 2000 had long had to shout at each other during the shooting, because these SAU came from Italy, and German helmets did not approach them. One of the best artillery systems, Paul, Narozhny calls the British M777.

It is the first artillery that Ukraine received from partners. It is very reliable, easily repaired and many. "We complained that M777 has a lot of hydraulic sleeves that made their way from the small arrivals of drones, causing the gun to stopped working. We had to take the service after each shelling. But we put mobile stations with trimming and fitting machines, and 99% of the places.

" He noted that despite the conversation that the FPV-pates on the front would be able to replace artillery with this, because the drone carries 2-3 kg of explosives, an artillery projectile-8 kg of explosives and falls on the enemy at supersonic speed. "Imagine concrete dugouts. The Russians know about drones, they hang nets, put steel doors that will not be easy to break. Bolvanka, punches concrete at speed and explodes inside, "Paul explained.

Pavel Narozhny says that if artillerymen take all safety measures, then their likelihood of surviving in this war is 90%. But they should also be physically strong, because they will have to wear shells manually, such as Bogdan's SAU. The greatest threat to artillerymen is hostile drones, including "Lacets", artillery and cabin. It happens in positions Russians beat expensive "Iskander". Plywood layouts help Ukrainian artillerymen.

"We now have labeters from plywood to M777 for 17-25 thousand UAH apiece. More than one hundred units were put. Only the trunk is sticking out of the masked position, so it is unrealistic to distinguish it from the true," Pavel said. He added that after each arrival, the fighters with a screwdriver and adhesive tape collect the layout again, and the Russians beat it again. "One of our layout was called" Tolik ", in honor of the patron, who bought it. Toli is a legend.
