How were the shells delevired to this artillery piece, was there a dedicated unit that followed a group, looking at the model there isnt storage for shells, unless I missed something also 203 mm shells were there powder bags or was the shells self contained
thanks

There were dedicated ammo trucks for it, much along the same lines as for the US M110 8" gun. A MT-LB would also be a theoretical ammo hauler for it, not sure though...

I did find out there is a compartment where 4 shells and another for the charges were kept on the gun, then a truck or MT-LB would carry more ammo
