PA 105mm Howitzer firing atop a building in Marawi, 2017.
During the siege they lacked the firepower to destroy concrete bldgs the enemy were using as cover, hence the howitzers were used in direct fire mode.
This case, they built a ramp and rolled it over atop.

More Facts on Zorawar's 105mm main-gun.
It has an unusually high 42° elevation, crucial for mountainous terrain ops 🏔️
Most MBTs only have 20° max elevation.

Zorawar has gun muzzle break. What does it do?
A muzzle brake helps to diminish the felt recoil or reactionary force produced by the “action” or firing of the round.

Russian military has long been known for its innovative designs, and Teletanki is a testament to their continuing commitment. With its remote control capabilities, operators can safely guide tank through hazardous situations without putting themselves in harm's way. 👇
Telemekhanicheskie Tanki’ – telemechanical (remote controlled) tanks, sometimes abbreviated to ‘teletanki’ (teletanks) is one of many remarkable stories of Soviet experimentation in 1930s.
