Description
Tucked in a hole in the middle of a copse of trees, the dilapidated self-propelled Akatsiya 2S3 gun, dating from the Soviet era, has had its swan song. The Ukrainian army, which will soon run out of ammunition suitable for the gun, prefers Western weaponry, which it finds much more effective against the Russian enemy. "For us to fire a round," says Sergiy, "we need between one and a half and two minutes." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
