“Can we shoot back with the seized howitzers? Yes, we can. However, there’s a caveat. The revolutionary forces cannot use them in the same reckless manner as the terrorist military, aimlessly firing at anyone. We must carefully calculate and fire howitzer. We have experts who are skilled in operating and maintaining these weapons. There are many experts who will do it. I have to say that the howitzer missions that will shoot them with their weapons will be coming soon,” he said.
