25 km from the front in the Donbass, Yan Iatsychen, commander of the 56th motorized infantry brigade, paints a gloomy picture of the situation.

He talks about the vulnerability of the CAESAR. Because of its size, the CAESAR can quickly become a target of Russian drones. ⤵️ Image
“I use it very little because it is very vulnerable and poorly adapted to the realities of war.

If I take it out into the open to shoot, it becomes the target of counter-battery fires after 3 to 4 minutes. I don't have time to evacuate him out of the danger zone.” ⤵️
“Whereas with the M-777, I can fire 300 shells a day on average. With the CAESAR, if I get 5, that's good. The M-777 is easy to conceal, and I can install a metal casing around it to protect it from the Lancet.”

According to the Oryx blog, 4 CAESAR have been destroyed and 2 damaged.
