Ukrainian Gunners Spend Hours Evading Drones Before They Ever Fire
The 4th Heavy Mechanized Brigade's self-propelled gun crews scan the sky through transit, then camouflage guns and positions before firing.
- General Staff says the brigade's SAU crews monitor the sky throughout hours-long movement to position.
- Crews camouflage the gun and its position immediately after arrival, before any shot is fired.
- Ukraine's military says the scale of this positioning work is hard to convey through photos alone.
Why it matters: Firing the gun is the easy part now; staying alive long enough to aim it is the war.
