Yeah. I got curious and found a video on YouTube. Interesting. Your point on counterbattery is spot on. It’d be useless against any technologically equivalent opponent with access to Arty.

Just like A-10s which would drop like flies in a conflict with a near-peer adversary in pocession of air power and anti-air assets. That thing is a direct low-cost replacement for close air support against rag-heads. At Fulda Gap it was also deployed with a nuclear round making counter-battery a non-issue.
