Yeah. It wasn't my intent to disagree with you. Just chiming in with my own $0.02.

I dunno. Every "bang" can be triangulated using microphones and a bit of math, especially because artillery is just so loud when it goes off. I'm sure the Russians are doing shoot-and-scoot when possible, but its not like you can rain down artillery for more than 1 or 2 minutes at a time on the modern battlefield.
As soon as your shell hits, you have a limited window before the enemy returns fire. You want to be running away from your location at that point.

USA's "counter-artillery radar", which can detect 1500mph shells flying through the air, can triangulate where shells came from before they even strike the ground. So the "timer" may start even before the enemy gets hit by your first shell.
