@Mike_Eckel skepticism is definitely warranted.
Either this is: very confusingly worded; is misstating the equipment used; or is based on information that few—if any—have in the open-source community.

One odd detail is the reported 10km distance SPG/s were transported.
The geography of the Danube Biosphere Reserve warrants waterborne transport (deltaic marshland), but the distance of a geolocated firing position from a presumed launch-point at #Vylkoev exceeds 10km.

In theory, there can be a period between February and March when prevailing surface temperatures enable over-freezing of the marshlands, enabling cross-country transport.
But salinity in brackish marshlands, human-landscape influence, and few sand bars challenge this theory.
