Will ukraine recovery that and at least get the lorry from it
Good weapons can always be rebuilt or replaced, good people can’t.
Swedish steel!
The Archer system is just a Volvo ADT chassis. Swap the bucket for a gun though. That’ll get repaired
It’s the fastest shooty scooty artillery, is this a lucky RuZ attack or they stayed too long and forgot to scoot?
Equipment doesn’t near equal the value of lives.
It’s dispensable – the crew is not.
Rip from Sweden
Why give ru a damage assesment video (I know it’s limited, but still)?
Everything lower looks good, some other large weapon can be mounted on it.
A good design with a long distance between ammunition and crew. That and the armored cab probably saved lives. A new cannon on the chassis and it should be up and running.
Героям слава! I am happy crew is safe and can live to see their families again. Many are not that lucky 😢
It has put in good work and fortunately ukraines supply of 155mm howitzers is only increasing due to there own production and foreign aid. Ukraine itself is building 20 spgs a month with a production line of towed howitzers just starting aswell
With it not being burned out and the cab intact that looks like it could be repaired economically.
I don’t see how it’s anywhere close to “totally damaged”, it has a big dent in the metal plate covering the autoloader and a flat tire.
Did the barrel blow up?
Hmm, how did this happen? Archers are build to outpace counter artillery and, I suppose unguided rockets… so, was it a drone attack (with a big payload) or helicopter attack or a mine?
The west collectively should issue a statement saying for every one piece of western weaponry destroyed, they will supply 2 more of the same weapon system
