That door handle had a nervous breakdown when it saw Vova.

Apparently this guy pulled handle so hard when he couldnt open it that it broke, however to open it from outside on that side you need to have key inserted.

That's a stupid way to mount the cannons to the trucks.   It's an obvious improvisation since the barrel should not be used as a tow mount
and instead there should be a proper extension hitch from the chassis.   It's bizarre that they don't have the correct parts.  

It's funny as long as nobody gets hurt.   Having one of these chunks of metal rolling into your path when you are doing 60 km/hr is not going
to be a pleasant experience and most likely will get you killed.

Are you being serious, KVS?

You are aware of the 122mm D30, in service for over half a century, and produced to the tune of thousands and thousands, used by over 60 countries across the planet, and still being manufactured in some countries to this day.
It is probably the most common and widely used artillery piece on the planet.

It certainly isn't an improvisation, and there are no "correct parts" missing.

The British/US copied the barrel mounted towing hitch on the M777 Lightweight 155mm howitzer that has begun to replace the M198 howitzer.

When I was in the infantry, I witnessed with my own eyes an artillery piece coming loose from "a proper extension hitch from the chassis" on one particular occasion.

It is and has been towed daily around the world without the slightest issue, year after year, decade after decade.

Must not have been properly attached then or an unsafe design.   From the video it is clear that the physical attachment of the muzzle to the truck
is flimsy.  I am sorry to hear this is the "proper" way to mount these weapons.   Just because everyone does it does not mean it is the right thing to do.
These tow mounts should not be certified for civilian roads.   Russia is not in the middle of a war and needs such compromises.  

You can make light of this sort of thing all you want.   But it is the type of detail that Russia needs to pay attention to if it wants to
evolve past a 3rd world toilet culture level.    There is too much of this sloppy crap in Russia and people think it is normal.

WTF????
That is quite a bizarre rant.
Do have a single shred of evidence at all to support your wild assertions?
This is one of the most widely used artillery pieces on the planet.-, with well over 12 000 pieces manufactured in multiple countries. It is still being built today.
Britain and the US have chosen to copy the feature and use precisely the same muzzle located towing hitch on their latest M777 155mm howitzer.
Like I said, one of the many things you've simply ignored, is that they have been and are being towed all round the world without the slightest issue.

Have you considered that there may be absolutely nothing wrong at all attaching the towing hitch to the strongest, stiffest part of the piece?
And that it could have been any number of other failures? Things sometime fail.....cars, trains, airliners, ships, machines...that is just the way it is.....it's called life.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you weren't even aware of the towing hitch arrangement on probably the most common artillery piece in the world.
You weren't aware that the latest western howitzer had copied the feature.
You thought it was an improvisation.

This is hardly a testament to your artillery howitzer design skills. It also puts your bizarre and weird "3rd world toilet culture level" comment firmly into what is was....a cheap comment without the slightest bit of substance, based purely on hot air.
Or have I missed the point, and you are just trolling?

Busy with testing, serial production is coming up soon

That i wish to hear !
I deeply hope that maybe they wasn't on V-day because for "BARBARIS" make new turret whit new 57mm gun, which will be perfectly logical, because They already have two vehicle whit epoch turret Kurganec, And Boomerang,And T-15(for now) if they will made new Turret whit 57 mm gun BMP T-15 will be Monster for destruction from other Tanks to the various kind of infantry fortification which over all that carry large number of soldier, I imagine something like 57 mm gun, whit some of Shipunov Gatling which will have possibility of 360* by azimuth and 80* by elevation for Aerial and all other kind of targets, and of course to keep 4 Long Range Cornet's.

So is this the hybrid diesel engine with the electric APU? I remember posting an article on this a month ago.
