...six minutes to set up and five minutes to dismantle.Due to the long range, the crew can fire one or two rounds and leave position before the first round hits the enemy position over 40 km away.

That's pretty badass. But in the digital age, if you knew where they were aiming, someone could just call/msg ahead and they'd have over five minutes to get to safety?

The rounds have more than 5 minutes travel time at that speed? I almost cant believe that..

I'm not going to do the trig, but you can figure it out from the published muzzle velocity of 960m/s if you know the angle.

No way it's 5 minutes, but I'm not going to work it out. It's a projectile - you can do the math.

Somewhat ironic that they may have been purchased from Russia many years ago.

I just love these big guys. I was surprised to see that even though they are 34 year old Soviet tech they are still producing them. There is a new variant too, with faster deployment and withdrawal time.

Is the super bonker still bonkin'?
