The destroyed Polish Rak self-propelled mortar was captured on camera for the first time

Video footage filmed by the Ukrainian military has been posted on social networks, which for the first time shows a Polish M120 Rak 120 mm self-propelled mortar placed on the chassis of a Rosomak armored personnel carrier in “disassembled” form.

As noted in the Altair publication, the documented vehicle was in service with the 44th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and operated near the Lugansk People's Republic.

It is unclear how the mortar was destroyed. The rupture of the armor in the area of ​​the ammunition rack indicates that it was hit by an unknown weapon, which caused the detonation of the ammunition

- the Polish author believes, having studied the footage.

According to him, Poland was supposed to transfer at least 8 Rak units to Ukraine, while some sources indicate that up to 24 mortars (three company sets) could be supplied.

According to available information, during the operation of the Rak, Ukrainians highly appreciated its performance, modern equipment and user-friendliness. However, they noted the problem of finding a suitable mortar position. It is necessary to find firing positions on flat terrain without slopes to achieve the best shooting accuracy

(Yuri Vasilyevich), oh, don’t waste my nerves, I’m belittling you. And what do you think, isn’t it likely that the air conditioner exploded?

A completely banal RPG was enough. Just an attempt to “save face” that their “wunderwaffle” was ruined by the Russian “super-duper wunderwaffle”, some kind of gravitational gun or an X-ray pumped laser, taken from a UFO that crashed near Tunguska. Otherwise, some kind of RPG from the Stone Age is a complete shame.

Or even RGOshka

Brevity is the sister of talent, it remains to convey this idea to the site developers so that they don’t have to write opuses every time.

Why didn’t the ammunition rack detonate?

[Thrifty]

Kostya1 - the article says that it was the detonation of the ammunition that led it to such a deplorable state!

They put Cancer as Cancer❗Well done Guys❗Health and good luck to you all❗❗❗

“I made signs to you that I had Rak in the bags.”

It looks like they found a “flat place without slopes” and the shot was “right on the bull’s eye”. And everything would have been fine, but the shot was fired at them. The account is open, 23 more crayfish are waiting in line for the pan.

[Roman 056]

The first one went! Another 23 are on the way. There is room to turn around. "The goals are clear, the tasks are defined, let's get to work, comrades!"

I look at the photo and my heart rejoices

Any such “firewood” burns/is consumed... the question is, what is faster for them, consumption or arrival?

I wonder if the crew managed to retreat

According to available information, during the operation of the Rak, Ukrainians highly appreciated its performance, modern equipment and user-friendliness. However, they noted the problem of finding a suitable mortar position. It is necessary to find firing positions on flat terrain without slopes in order to achieve the best shooting accuracy, the publication states.

It is for the best shooting accuracy that you can't beat it. Ideally, a sample of the M120 Rak of 120 mm caliber, placed on the chassis of the Rosomak armored personnel carrier as a captured visual aid of the divine implementation of Polish “engineering thought”

[Ile ham]

In general, what difference does it make to X (x) than how this wunderwaffle was destroyed? You need to beat them with everything you have at hand (and not only).
