- Incredible 155mm Artillery Shell Production Process - The Fastest Mass Bullet Production Line
The 155 mm projectile is composed of four parts: the detonating fuse, the projectile itself, the propellant, and the primer. Each shell measures about 60 centimeters (2 feet) in length, weighs about 45 kilograms (100 pounds), and has a diameter of 155 mm (6.1 inches). They are used in howitzer systems, which are large towed artillery pieces recognizable by the range of the firing angle that their barrels can be set to.
Moreover, the 155 mm shells can be configured in various ways. They can be loaded with highly explosive material, use precision-guided systems, penetrate armor, or produce significant fragmentation.

The 155mmm shell has a diameter of 155mm. Huh... the more you know...
Thanks for splicing videos together so to make the entire video illogical
I like where they go from talking about primers to 9mm cartridges as if that's what they use for the primer.
Fascinating , thanks for sharing this with us ,so much technology
Agree.
Love videos where w. music is loud while vocal is quiet. I can keep my volume knob in good running order.
I have edited it more perfectly in the new videos
@@MACHINERYTECHNOLOGY it sure doesn't look like it...
@@MACHINERYTECHNOLOGY tnx
These shells at the beginning of the Ukraine conflict were approximately $2,000 each. They are now depending of the source between $5-8,000 per shell and Ukraine can fire as many as 20,000 per day.
ukraine hasn't fired more than 8 thousand a day ever.
155mm shell production facilities are either antiquated or fairly new NONE of the operational ones are designed to make thousands of shells per day most are for a thousand or so per week at full production! Everyone was sold AIRWAR was king and no one would engage in artillery battles any more! So the massive old plants were mothballed and then deemed too expensive to update to modern production standards and demolished! Leaving a very few smaller facilities slowly producing enough to keep up with reduced training needs (The number of active artillery pieces in many militarys was slashed with new artillery systems implemented in limited numbers, while stored systems were deemed too obsolescent/inadequate for reactivation and scraped! ) 😊😮
I used to know a guy with a small machine shop. For years his primary business was producing the nose caps for 5" naval shells. Two eight spindle automatic lathes built by Cone Machinery. Made from solid 75mm diameter bar stock the finished parts weighed probably 900 grams if that
This are the Rheinmetall/Denel Factories in South Africa in high probability.
Вот уж не думал, что процесс производства снарядов такой сложный. Я думал, что всё гораздо проще!
If there’s a war I can’t see this way of making shells replacing those fired very quickly..
That's why if there is an actual near peer war there would probably be a general mobilization of most if not all of the country's manufacturing capabilities to wartime production. That's how America was able to out produce both Japan and Germany in WWII.
Ukraine has ordered 10 years' worth of production.
Tired of listening to AI voices
😂😂😂
Me too! If you going through the length of the process of making a video (quality or not) then don’t try to rush the audio part please!
It will counter all the effort you took.
Better than listening to some human with an accent that you can hardly understand.
I am forced to use AI voice because it can help everyone understand. I've hired some people but it's not good at capturing AI voices. Is so.
@@MACHINERYTECHNOLOGY There's a lot of voice artists out there looking for work. Pretty sure if you put out a video asking for help, you'll get some replies. You have 243k subscribers...I'm sure someone would be happy to give you a reasonable price.
Good job
That shell forging process is amazing - I assumed that it would be turned, but this is a much better way of using the billet and making it really strong as well.
Its two different processing centers shown you will never see that canoes truck at an American plant.. the main thing is that everything must be of the same diameter and the weight of the charge and round must be the same..just a tiny bit difference and the round can miss by a hundred yards
Wow, this so poorly edited. Repeated footage, processes out of order?
Hah, the channel-bot liked your comment!
Could you make the music EVEN LOUDER vs. the narration so I just go to the next video instead???
Great stocks to buy right now military ammo companies like this they will be in over drive for the next 10 years tryin to keep up with supplies and then to refill the coffers after
Realy I like this factory
Thanks
The Great War Industry is what keeps the United States Economy afloat, cuz War is a Business.
11:50 watch for the bullet on the right.
Rouge.
i was like y not hundreds of cnc machines working 24/7 i c y
The gods of fire is Artillery.
That role is taken by the USAF.
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
But can America ramp up to 1 million per year?
I highly doubt it
The current production rate is higher than that. And that's solely for the 155mm shells
Mantap👍
The "projo" on a 155 has the fuze installed just prior to firing NOT IN THE MANUFACTURING SEQUENCE.
Here's an idea: When you make a video, use only clips that are actually related to the subject matter, then assemble in a logical sequence, and don't repeat them. That way, it might make sense. Just throwing together a random jumble of clips, some of which are totally unrelated, isn't notably useful.
Amazing, a country able to manufacture 155mm accurate artillery ammunition but not electricity!
Cuz War is a Business.
Didn't know you could "manufacture" electricity...
I wonder how this factory is lit? Kerosene lanterns, I guess.
@@bryceanderson4864 well it won't be by electricity for between 4 to 12 hours a day thanks to load shedding (when half the countries power stations are broken due to poor maintenance and lack of skills and intelligence of the power companies employees)
@@bryceanderson4864 I manufacture my own every day out of chemicals and sunlight. Oh and the 155mm shell factory probably makes 30% of the electricity they use out of diesel.
Я так понимаю, что с хронометража 9:13 начинается реклама турецкого производства патронов. ;-)
Tons of miss information on the small arms rounds
I can assure you that they DO NOT install the fuze when the make the round. That is only installed just before firing. As pointed out by others, robo-naration is the definition of laziness. How about timing what is being described with what is on the screen?
how it went from 155 to 5.56 belted. magic ?
It's like a cost of living in reverse (JB's economy)
i see that this was made in south Africa I wonder who they sell them to
Rosji, Chinom i Izraelowi. Najpewniej
Blicks.
If you’re capable of making them you practically own a money making machine,
Thats how businesses work.
…… a waste of time and energy

Peacenik never prevent war,thats a brutal reality.
Zelensky reference?
I agree that is 13:51 minutes I won't get back.
Now available on sale at Walmart Super Centers sports department for $9,600.00 each
I can hardly hear the person speaking yet the music and background sound is so loud I had to just watch the video with the sound muted because it hurt my ears, great video otherwise
Thank you for this great comment. I will change
It takes 75,000 shells per month to simply hold the lines, while twice as many will be needed for a major offensive. In contrast, Russia releases about 300,000 artillery shells every month (about 10,000 per day).
That's for all types of shells. The US is already producing close to 100,000 155mm shells per month. That's impressive for a nation at peace and artillery role taken by the USAF.
@@davout5775 The US military set a goal to produce 100,000 rounds of artillery a month by the end of 2025 - less than half of the Russian monthly output
@@jhngfdsdfgkjnbv Well, that goal likely have already been reached. Also those are only 155mm shells. You can't compare the production of one type of shell to the production of all types of shells in Russia. Moreover, in the case of the US, that not an issue as Russia relies heavily on artillery for offense and defense while the US use artillery more for defensive operations. The role of the artillery in the Russian case it done by the USAF.
@@davout5775 Hard to smelt steel with Windmills and Rainbows isn't it?
@@jhngfdsdfgkjnbv Not sure in relation to what you are saying that
Looks like some 3D printers need to be used to modify this slow complicated process
The level of manual labour in the existing production facilities is simply embarrassing.
The fuse is added at the time of firing and the primer is added just before firing. The shell does not consist of a fuse, and primer as stated in the video.
0:43 A guy is gauging the powder charge with the help of a kitchen balance and a plastic pot? Thanks a bomb! I hope the propellant is gauged in a different way.
1:15 Process data are noted with a marker?
One question, why not cast the shells? Steel casting has come a long way. After that, it's just a matter of normalising and machining. Much faster. Is there a reason?
The industry has been there and done that...in WW1. Look for and read "The guns 1914-1918" by Ian V. Hogg. Steel casting has not really come far enough to make the difference. In very short, the Brits and the French screwed uo and had very little ammunition for the war in 1914. They thought 2-3,000,000 shells was a lot (same problem we have yet again). They had to make a lot of ammunition in a hurry. In order for cast steel to be as strong as forged steel and create the same bursting pressure and damage....it has to be thicker...which means less explosive and the need for many more shells. Bluntly put, cast shells require at minimum 26% more steel. that means 26% less explosive....to this day.
@@jessegreenwood1956 the answer is greatly appreciated, as is the reference.
@@308holes_cures_communism that's not true. Throughout Ww2 the British used cast steel shells for use in theatre while they had cast iron shells for training. Both worked.
notice the age of the workers
this must have been produced by AI from unrelated video pieces picked randomly
Crazy they use expensive brass. I wonder if biodegradable plastic would work.
@308holes_cures_communism correct
Why aren't they cast and finished on a lathe? It looks like there's way too much machine time to forge out a single shell, even with robots. I'm not a mass manufacturer but it seems like they could do this more simply.
😂
The Lord of War movie did a better job of displaying how bullets are made.
Befor automated machine this must of been so slow but some how now more expensive
Very efficient turret and capstan lathes were used until recently capable of quite impressive production times.
Cool
What a crock of carp! A 155mm projectile is NOT a 'bullet of any kind.
would those sell cheaper to made in US or in China or Russia ?
North Korea sells them the cheapest, I heard. The quality might be slightly off, though. Caveat emptor. You may end up with a banana peel barrel, and you might not want to be next to the gun when that happens.
Cheaper form china or russia but you want them to work....
But Russia and China used different Calibers than the US 155 mm.
I would like to watch your video, but the music comes on and is way too loud. Seems like this wouldn't be a problem, but I don't want to watch silent movies in this day and time and I also want to listen to the narration. I also don't want to wake up everyone in my home late at night! Please reconsider the volume of the music or do away with it completely since it doesn't have anything to do with the content of the video. Thanks if you are listening.
Sure. Thank you for your comments. I will edit again in my new videos
Funny watching Soviet equipment being used to manufacture it obviously for Ukraine lol
Awful audio vs music levels. Needs fixing.
Gave up half way through. A little order and HUMAN voice then MAYBE.
Video unwatchable. All over the place, needless repetition.
A I voices again why
Painfully slow.
Ukraine is using a bunch of these against the Russian invasion
What does that stupid music have to do with the video? It's annoying and distracting, I'm trying to listen to the voice and watch. Not everything needs music.
Ancient factory
In the time that it took to watch this video the russians smacked out 500 shells.........
Massively out-producing the West it seems.
sure they did Vlad.
and a 1,000 T-14's.
🙄🤭
@@edhenry70 You dont hear about russians bitching about not having enough of anything do ya?
@memadmax69 every time rusky soldiers made a video pleading for the Kremlin to send more supplies. Or when they'd open up a ballistic vest and find cardboard plates.
If this is the fastest production possible, how come the Russians are out-producing the whole of the West combined?
John Rothery (Tauranga)
Rosja robi zdecydowanie więcej. A zachód już prawie nic nie produkuje. Pogońcie finansjerę bo zginiecie w dramatycznych okolicznościach.
А вы заметили, что на хронометраже 4:49 на белых тюках с хлопковым волокном стоит надпись СДЕЛАНО В КИТАЕ! Байден сделал Америку целиком и полностью зависимой от Китая!
We're really slow here in South Africa. .......
Why?
@@MACHINERYTECHNOLOGY its the slowest preparation of a projectile immaginable...
@@markloubser2433depends if it is a run of the mill high explosive shell or a high precision guided munition!
There are somethings that you don't rush unnecessarily...
Another art fart YT nonsense video. The meaningless scenes were pretty though.
you make script english wit AI bot chat speak wit forked tonuge
AND so vierwer/listener gets FORKED!
T.y.
nothing special here.
If you look closely you can see exactly nothing.
I would be willing to bet that there aren't any robot's making rounds in North Korea...just political prisoners...a lot
Stop with the CGI bullshit
Wow, your physics animations are fucked up 😂
Made in Turkey.
Nope, it's Denel, in South Africa - Boksburg.
I hate AI voices. Ruins videos.
This says 155mm but then shows 8in and small arms.
Goofy to say the least.
You might not have the ability to choose what ads are put on your content but now that you know the flashlight that they're putting on your show and advertising for is fake that is not an electric flashlight it runs off butane there are complaints world over . you do have the ability to not monetize your channel because they're selling fraudulent flashlights under your name. we could hold you accountable for that or do you agree that what they're selling is a dual Arc electric flashlight
Unfortunately, I can only improve my content, not my advertising content. I also think you don't need to worry about it. We should focus on content because it is the good value we try to bring
Not as fast production as Russia 😂. !
