There are things where it is better than competitors, there are things where it is worse. As always it is "pick a set of compromises that most suit you".

Had to drive in-between 2 of those on a highway just outside of Belgrade the last week. Impressive machines, albeit I think truck chassis was different (KamAZ I think?)

Every poligon in Russia is showcasing their artillery. Lots of it, tubes and MRLS. Artillery is best when you have a lot of different stuff for different tasks.

Just a guess, but the Serbian entry should have the edge on overall cost?

Maybe, but the US Army will not be looking at costs as the main factor otherwise it would have stuck to the towed guns.

The Serbian entry will be problematic and very low chance versus other entries. Others have already extensive combat record for their entries, and can offer all the accessories - autoloading, secure datalinks, NATO standard comms, advanced FCS, BMS, and a plug and play architecture suitable for the future ABMS, built-in and made in-house.

The Serbian entry would have to draw equipment from other companies.

I agree that Nora has very low chance, but others are also "mix and match". In particular Archer and Caesar also use barrel blanks from Slovakia, and Thales comm equipment.

It is also a Portuguese term for firing training: poligono de tiro.

Firing range, or firing and bombing range, I think.

Much better thanks, was lacking the expression.

The only Russian one I have been to is the one at Kubinka where they give firepower demos for the Army show attendees. Tunguska and Solntsepyok are show stealers.
