Flashback
The Caesar is a French 155mm self-propelled artillery unit designed to destroy manpower, artillery batteries, bunkers, and provide passages in minefields and field barriers. The maximum range of the SAU is 42 kilometres (depending on the projectile). It is capable of firing 6 rounds per minute. It is operated by a crew of 4-5 people. By the way, Ukraine has been actively using the Caesar SAU since the beginning of the full-scale war with Russia.
