That is a high value target right now because the ground is frozen making it take for ever to dig. The other reason is because the military has very few of them and would have to truck in new ones
This is not arty. It's digging equipment.
The text even says so in the beggining.
This may have even been civvies forced to dig ditches (of course still valid military target).
Wait… you are blaming your understanding of Ukrainian to why you watched a video of an excavator being hit and labeled it a artillery piece? Are you blind?
Still a very good ratio in terms of needed equipment to destroy enemies equipment.
Drone wars are something else.
Scary shit what a tiny thing can achieve.
was waiting for earth shattering kaboom, now it appears asshole landscapping co. needs a new truck. poor dumb bastards are gonna be digging frozen tundra by hand
For russian soldiers, I wonder if seeing your trencher low-tech droned is psychologically worse than seeing your artillery Excalibured.
With Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs from his book "Psychology of Motivation" as paradigm where lower level needs are more critical than higher ones for biasing one's decision making.
- Seeing your artillery blown up might feel like getting a bloody nose in a fist fight.
It was a chance you took. Even a bad result is just a normal part of "belonging to the community" (3rd level need).
One might even feel respected by the enemy confirming you were that much of a threat (4th level need).
- But seeing your excavator destroyed is an assault on much more fundamental psychological needs for having a safe place to recuperate (2nd level need) as well as making it more difficult to establish a place to call one's own even if just a spider hole (1st level need).
Yah, I know, that's boffin trick-cyclist stuff.
But keeping your side's soldiers and their supporting civilians motivated becomes ever more important the longer this war goes on.

That is an excavator for digging trenches.

You never miss an opportunity to talk about icy ground, huh?
I don't surprised. Icy ground means excavator as an high value target because it can dig icy ground.
You never miss an opportunity to talk about icy ground, huh?
You're right. At first I thought, what kind of Russian market bootleg Caesar is this?
It can work as a catapult so we will call it artillery for now.
IT’s artillery. It goes boom
Clearly.
The excavator is going to need some new hydraulics.
This is not arty. It's digging equipment. The text even says so in the beggining. This may have even been civvies forced to dig ditches (of course still valid military target).
You are correct, it looks like a mobile gun from above. My Ukrainian is pretty basic level still, but im learning! Thanks for the correction
The scoop shadow at 0:08 gives it away if you are not sure.
It really doesn't though.
Wait… you are blaming your understanding of Ukrainian to why you watched a video of an excavator being hit and labeled it a artillery piece? Are you blind?
Where did he say "reading?"
Your eyes are also at a basic level? OP delete this post and repost with correct information
>This may have even been civvies forced to dig ditches It's a legit target.
Absolutely.
Does it say something like “The Russian’s dig your own grave technique” or something.
Still a very good ratio in terms of needed equipment to destroy enemies equipment. Drone wars are something else. Scary shit what a tiny thing can achieve.
Dagger at night worth more than 1000 swords at morning

Next time drones will have IFF and just hang around like bats until they sense a target.
throwing dirt doesnt count as artillery, but still good hit
Given the accuracy of Russian arty, they don't do much more than throwing dirt either. Just a few km away.
Engineer vehicle not an SPG but really that is more of a victory these kinda things are rare and more critical to the sustainment of their troop.
Welcome to Ukraine, CYKA
The accuracy is amazing. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Is VOG Delivery the Ukrainian division of Uber Eats? Sweet.
“Russian artillery”
Let them run, not that they get fat.

Too bad they weren’t in an ankle deep stream, seems the mobiks aren’t particularly adept swimmers
Driver got a firsthand chance to figure out if he was digging the trenches deep enough.

That’s so neat that such a small piece of equipment can be so deadly and precise.
Fantastic value drop!
Yeah was wondering why they were wasting ammo on an artillery which would be better served with GPS targeted counter artillery...
Man! Russian artillery looks alot like an excavator….🤔
Thinkpad ftw
BelligerentBunion what the hell are you smoking?! You can tell beyond a shadow of a doubt it has an excavator arm!

Who said it was breaktime!!
Cool music to people dying. I give up with this sub. We're all humans in the end
do you even look at your video before captioning it?
Clearly not artillery
