report closer to the Ukrainian artillerymen who use the French Caesar guns

This is the first time they have been filmed in combat. A team from France Télévisions was able to follow, on Sunday June 5, the Ukrainian gunners who use the famous Caesar guns delivered by France. Their target during this day? Russian artillery pieces positioned 17 kilometers away. “Right after firing, the gunners must leave as quickly as possible to avoid being spotted by the enemy”explains the journalist Maryse Burgot, present on the spot.

After each Caesar shot, Ukrainian surveillance drones fly over the intended targets. According to the commander of this unit, which has six Caesars, they enabled the elimination of at least 80 Russian artillery pieces. The young Ukrainian gunners met by France Télévisions were trained in France, in the middle of the war, a month ago, in a military base in the south of France.
