I must ask you, is this what all Russian artillery men have to deal with? they have to set this up, fire, then shoot and scoot? repeating the entire process?
It depends. At the guns you only get sight azimuth, elevation, charge from fire dierction center after you set up the gun. You dont know coordinates, targets nothing in real life. That means you unfold, level and orient your barrel to the initial orientation, report in to FDC and wait for the above data. Then simply adjust and fire... Orienting can be made easier with GPS but GPS only works in "colonial wars" in all out conflict there will be no GPS, all artillery will orient manually like in Ukraine and here. After firing you can obviously be detected but in ukraine russians dont have to fear counter battery fire that much, so I guess they usually stay
@@gezalesko3813 oh good to know, thanks :D and by the way i wanted to ask... Im trying to figure out what is the red circle for (the Y symbol i think) i watched all your videos and i still dont get it. Could you explain it somehow or what it is for please?
@@ERIKNOWAKK you mean the multiple red dots under the red scale numbers.. that is not y by the way that is a russian "u" which is fot "uglomer" that is goniometer...
@@ERIKNOWAKKif zeroed that is the counter angle to the black scale so whatever black scale reads it is +/- 180 degrees (that is 3000 mils)... the purpose of the counter angle is to recreate the original angle (parallel) with an other device...
Thank god someone is interested in artillery 😁
13 Bravo

@@gezalesko3813 I see, thank you
@gezalesko3813 yeah some of them stay. But often they're found
4:34 isnt that a mistake? You say 42 but it shows 38 or i am wrong?
no you are right.. that is the counter angle meter so I forgot to read it upside down...

@@gezalesko3813 nono not the dots but the whole red nonius, what is the usage of it? Or what angle it measures?
