The country of origin and “year of birth” of the SAU are the same as those of actress Monica Bellucci, in honor of whom the “Azovians” named their cannon.
The Italian M109L self-propelled gun, released in 1964, helps the Azovians repel enemy attacks. The country of origin and “year of birth” are the same as those of actress Monica Bellucci, in whose honor the “Azovians” named their cannon. There are two portraits of an Italian woman on the weapon, and the funny name often creates an excuse for jokes, says NV.
On the SAU – a portrait of an Italian actress/ Photo Serhii Okunev / NV”There are a lot of jokes on this topic. We have a new recruit – we tell him: you will have your first time with Monica Bellucci!”, the fighters joke.
According to them, despite its age, the weapon works extremely well.
“It must be understood that, firstly, it had one or another supervision and underwent repairs. This is something that, to put it mildly, did not always happen with Soviet weapons. Secondly, it is a very reliable barrel. It is in terms of shooting – in general no problems or complaints. There are certain points about the engine, but it’s more a question for the mechanics. And it’s much easier to fix it than if there were problems with the combat part. We hit at distances of 18 kilometers with an error. meters. This is very good,” explains the unit commander.
Inside the ACS is another portrait of Monica Bellucci.
“As you can see, there is a lot of space here. You can live here… And this is the second portrait of Monica Bellucci, it is placed in such a way that I can say that I look at her face during each shot. By the way, it is much quieter here during the shot , than from the outside. I think if you close all the doors and hatches, it will be completely quiet,” comments one of the fighters.
