“Ms. Caroline Colombier draws the attention of the Honorable Minister of the Armed Forces to the results of the experience of using the Caesar artillery mount in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. “According to the testimonies of Ukrainian soldiers published by Le Monde magazine on December 14, 2023, Nexter’s Caesar self-propelled gun, thirty of which were delivered to Ukraine, seems to cause a rather negative reaction from those who use it,” writes Colombier.
He claims that Ukrainian soldiers discovered numerous vulnerabilities and difficulties in using howitzers during combat operations – for example, the Caesar is too dependent on proper satellite guidance, which is difficult to provide under the dominance of Russian electronic warfare systems. The self-propelled gun also turned out to be critically vulnerable to drone attacks.
