The answer to the question "what will RCH 155s snack on between meals?".

They also say it can be air-dropped from military transport aircraft

Looks over at the state of russian aviation

Ahahahahahahaha

What russia meant to say is that this vehicle can be blown up while in the sky or on the ground! (dual use functionality!)

I really don't understand the Russian military's obsession with airdropping these little aluminum shitboxes into combat because they suck at airborne assaults.

Nice to see that it's finally ready for mass destruction at the hands of Ukranian drones.

Mass destruction, mass destruction, russia will be happy if they can produce dozens a year!

Looking at the state of Russian equipment, most of it won't be all that adversely affected by airdropping it.
