The boom is back at Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region of Ukraine.
A fresh supply of ammunition has given fresh impetus to Ukrainian artillerymen serving at the frontlines.
It has given them a chance to launch counter-attacks against the Russian offensive, as this 39-year-old Howitzer unit commander says.
The Western-provided Panzerhaubitze (pronounced PANZA-HAU-BITZAY) 2000 self-propelled howitzer allows Ukrainian artillerymen to quickly leave the position after firing, giving less chance for Russian forces to strike back.
In the past, soldiers said they had been forced to limit their use of 155 mm rounds against the enemy, compromising their ability to support infantry further forward.
Ukraine's military has said its forces forced Russian troops out of a district in the town of Chasiv Yar on the war's eastern front seen as Moscow's next target in its slow advance through the area.
Russian forces are slowly pushing their way across parts of eastern Ukraine, capturing several villages since seizing the key city of Avdiivka in February.
Chasiv Yar stands on high ground 20 kilometres to the west of Bakhmut, a town Russian forces captured a year ago after months of battles.
Both sides see Chasiv Yar as a potential staging point for Russia to advance on the key cities of the eastern Donetsk region
