Isn’t artillery easier to locate/ counter attack than a drone operator station?

RCH 155 which Ukraine has now can shoot while moving. That should make it harder to counter.

Yes.

Run over to the impact crater that was just made, and with a little experience you can quickly know the round type, direction, and distance. If you have those last two you can rattle off a quick counter fire mission.

Artillery counter-fire radar systems can also identify and track artillery/mortar fire.
