Giatsint-S at exercises, with drone support. Again, they do not use the loader assist device, if it wasnt there at all... I cant comprehend why. Loading those big, heavy (46kg) shells is a pain to such height. Also something is wrong with the rammer, even if they do not use it, it should jump a bit to the side after the gun recoils to avoid the ejected charge casing striking it.
