Militant stranger eats off on a rose bush

Good afternoon!
Unusual appearance and decent size caterpillar feeds on rose leaves in the country. If you pass by, it arches its wheel and assumes a threatening pose.
A Google search for the image failed. And it is very interesting what kind of insect it is. Maybe some hawk moth?
Sincerely,
Swanik
