Big Guns: Ukrainian Long-Range Artillery Targets Russian Command Posts, Ammo Depots

Ukraine's 2S7 Pion self-propelled artillery pieces are engaging with Russian forces in the Donetsk region. Because of their long range -- 37.5 kilometers -- they are used to attack key enemy targets. The 2S7 Pion packs the biggest punch in the Ukrainian artillery arsenal with 203-millimeter shells.

Called "shoot and scoot." I have a 152mm training kit from Russia (I collect inert artillery shells as a hobby) and its projectile alone weighs 100 lbs, the 203mm above is 220 lbs. I can't imagine moving them around by hand all day. I bet that solder is RIPPED!

[@peteparadis1619]

Youngsters can move heavy stuff all day after they get used to it and not get hurt

[@guntera3845]

yeah being young is insane for strength. I‘ve been training for strength since around 1.5 years and 100kg has become somewhat light weight. But lugging around 100kg multiple times a day still takes a lot of strength. Much respect to all the soldiers lifting that shit around

[@brentgarbett5306]

I've been lifting for 3years. 200 kilos ain't shit. All day and half the night.

[@SupaSaiyanGoku]

I've been lifting 38 years and can deadlift 7 tons. With one hand

[@RiDankulous]

They have to move those guns shortly after they fire them a few times. This is because all militaries have radar which can track the location and do a counter attack on the location. That's why it's useful to have the cannons mounted on a vehicle that can quickly be driven away. I saw a video from early in the war where Ukrainians did not move their gun quickly enough. There were explosions nearby and getting closer and stuff was flying everywhere. It was very scary!

That's two days you've had a Ukranian artillery story, and the sound of those outgoing shells is incredible. I'd like to compliment your audio department and the microphones they use. I would also like to compliment the Ukranian Artillerymen on their skill and professionalism -- keep bringing the Steel Rain.

[@IntercontinentalArmy]

During my several times deployed and living in Ukraine. One of those trips I had to go to the front like with The Ukraine Marines. I myself am a US Marine, so.. During the time that I was last activated to go too Ukraine for combat related reasons. I spent a lot of time with the officer's shown in The Video. They are pretty good guy's that also get tired of getting shot at! So, when that occurred the last time. The Pion was rolled out to lob shells back at Russia!

Хлопці, вам справді потрібно тримати ці снаряди гарними та чистими для гарної точності. Пил і бруд збільшують тертя з одного боку патронів, що змушує їх збиватися з курсу. Guys, you really need to keep those shells nice and clean for good accuracy. Dust and dirt increase friction on one side of the round which makes them drift off course. Greetings from the UK 👍🏻😀🇬🇧

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇨🇦 Canada stands with Ukraine. Respect for all Ukrainian soldiers and those who support them. Regarding the Russians fleeing their country: the Iranian "girls" are more manly men than the Russian pansies. They could stay and change their country with a revolution, but instead they run like the sniveling cowards they are. The Iranian girls have lived under a more brutal regime than Putins, yet they stand and fight for what is right. Great respect for the Iranian girls, women and men fighting for freedom, dignity, justice and democracy.
