As the commander of a gun crew Maxim notes, the M119 light gun is very mobile, and it is also noted for rapid fire and excellent accuracy, and in general it has proven itself excellently for infantry cover.
He claims that the crew of this gun usually takes up to one minute to aim and fire, but sometimes it takes a total of 40 seconds. The crew of this gun receives information about targets and their coordinates in real time.
Artilleryman Andriy calls himself a "messenger of death" who "packs these packages, monitors their condition and sends them straight to the russian scum."
In the context of the use of Western artillery systems by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a post of the Ukrainian General Staff is also interesting, in which the commander of the Caesar self-propelled howitzer Serhiy talks about how Ukrainian artillerymen work on this artillery system. In particular, Serhiy notes that this French self-propelled howitzer is quite maneuverable, it can be quickly brought into battle. If it takes 10 minutes to bring the russian Msta-S self-propelled howitzer into battle, this indicator is five times less for the Caesar self-propelled howitzer - only 2 minutes.
The commander of the Caesar self-propelled howitzer notes that the howitzer team is using the system quite intensively - in one of the cases in the Ugledar direction, 150 shells were fired per day, which made it possible to stop the enemy's offensive.
