In this
ever-changing situation sources are now confirming that
6 (Another 6 to follow.) French CAESER 6x6 (With "BONUS" rounds and
18 Polish KRABs (3 Ukrainian batteries.) are in the fight. One of the articles pointed out
100 artillery men have been in
Poland for some time to get trained on them and their accompanied ammo resupply units (This is true for
ALL foreign "donated" artillery. These SPA units are auto fed.)

Now to the CAESAR first from an earlier discussion on
shoot-n-scoot ...
"But for
quick shoot-and-scoot fires, a
CAESAR crew
can begin firing 60 seconds after arriving on position and
decamp within 40 seconds. That means a
CAESAR unit can begin rolling away less than three minutes after deploying, well before a counterbattery riposte can land."

Some are suggesting they have also received the Italian
modified M109L.
This is
not true at this time, however they
will get them in the
not-too-distant future. This is a unique version in that it
doesn't have the existing
23 caliber barrel but was
modified with a
39 caliber barrel instead.
