"God is on the side with the best artillery" -Napoleon Bonaparte Edit: I seem to have started a small war in the replies even though I never stated my position in the current conflict, I know Napoleon lost, you don't need to remind me, but it's not because of his artillery, his artillery doctrine was top notch at the beginning, but as the war went on, his overall doctrine became "let's yell 'oorah' and charge' That's all I'll say, goodbye

Artillery was the most bad as$ display of force I ever saw in Afghanistan and trumped even JDAMs. Watching arty dropping with shrapnel sleeves and proximity fuses inspired awe.
Where did you serve at dude? Nobody knows the name Canon Cocker's unless they've been an artillery man. First battalion 8th Marines m o s 0317 SS. Second Battle of Fallujah, 137 search and destroy weapon cache missions in Kandahar and Kabul and the Battle of Ganjgal valley but to mention north and south Africa as well as Columbia, El Salvador, Argentina, Venezuela and Cosco hunting down Cartels. While in Kandahar we went up on some guys that were banging some of these out and they had a couple of MLRS M270s and they wanted us to use our eyeballs to find the entrance of a cave down in this little town where supposedly a bunch of Hajis we're hiding. They dropped three shells down on the entrance and collapsed it after we found it using our scopes. Then they sent in a surface to surface bunker buster. It's a two-part shell, the first part bust the whole and then about a millisecond later the second part of the artillery comes in and doesn't explode but rather causes a pressure wave like a concussion grenade. The explosion was so massive that it blew the entrance back out that they collapsed at the beginning of the attack and then they sent 11 Marines in to go investigate the title but make sure everyone had performed the proper depletion of life protocol. LOL. After it was all said and done, we went inside and looked and they had counted 57 heads. I kneel down and looked at one of the guys and I squeezed his forearm and immediately retracted. I looked up at second lieutenant and asked him why they felt like that and he said the pressure wave is so violent that whenever it hits their body and the pressure from the explosion / concussion can't escape the cave, their bodies absorb the violent pressure from the explosion/concussion. When I squeezed his forearm it felt like sand inside of jello. He said that the meat and organs stay completely intact but the bones absorb all of the energy from the explosion/concussion. He said it literally pulverizes their bones in the powder when the shockwave slash pressure wave hits them
I remember just 6 months before ukraine, a lot people were saying artillery is old and out of date we have cad now, and if not mortars, now it's what eles can it do?
For real in this war we've seen helicopters used as artillery, 57mm anti air, fully automatic grenade launchers, pretty much anything that can do indirect fire is doing that most of the time.
Yeah that’s why they are called exchanges. Ukraine has been a never ending back and forth Ukraine gains some ground somewhere Russia takes it back then back and forth and so on. Both sides have a similar amount of casualties which is why the war hasn’t ended. It’s been more or less a stalemate with small wins here and there on both sides.
Just wait. Now that we have exited certain treaties that limited the range of certain weapons and munitions you will now start to see artillery reach triple what we currently are capable of
En Ucrania han demostrado que: - El primer mes tienen una precisión con margen de siete metros. - En un año tienen una precisión con margen de setenta metros. - ¿En dos años una precisión de 700 metros? La ingeniería es increíble, pero un aparato tan caro no vale para una guerra de alta intensidad. Y si además los proyectiles se están pagando ahora mismo a 9.000 dólares, entonces vale menos aún. Además, ya hemos visto todos lo que hacen los Lancet con ellos.
When you want any tanks to go missing with those 12 mile ranged 155m shots from the big howitzers. Whereas all the tanks only have 2 mile ranges with their main guns.
Though we lost the war to the Veitcongs in sandals, we continue losing to the Afghans in pyjamas. Now we're ready to charge into battle with the Yellow Peril. Suerly we will prevail over a Peril ?
It’s not just the triple 7’s that the cause but the new ammunition that is coming out for them such as Excalibur and others like the one that separates into two separate sub-munitions that each target a different vehicle from above.
how is this old, manuel and quite immobile piece of artilery so good? If there are so many artilery vehicles that are more mobil, stronger in kaliber and faster while being auto loading.
so the question realy is how to counter artilery and there are two answers you can either go from the sky or by land but if you go by land you need speed and best way of going quickly on uneven terrain and at the same time being small target is by horse
@@punchkitten874 this is mostly true lol but we still have to give credit where it’s due - the Ukrainians are doing much better than they should with their much lower numbers than their Russian counterparts haha
Eh the concept of lobbing is somewhat the same however I think comparing this to a catapult is about the same as the comparison of a catapult to throwing something
Your comment reminds me of the fact that the implementation of new concepts in any field are far and few between compared to old concepts which we simply improved through technology
@@amramjosewe are all still just throwing rocks. First we were throwing them just by hand. Then we fixed it onto some stick (spear).

@@biosaber585 “fire for effect” basically means “we’re on target, now make it rain” because they no longer have to wait for each shell impact to see if they’re hitting the target. So yeah. Essentially exactly what you said is literally what’s about to happen.
Artillery isn't much good without a Forward Observer to tell it what grid square to hit, if there are allies or other important assets that are "Danger - Close" to err on one side not the other, then confirm the first hit is on-target, or how far off to adjust fire, in what direction.

@Работаем, брат! lmao artillery is USA bread and butter. You fuckin wish mate
Sun-Tzu says no.
Guns are just mini artillery
"Lift your head and hold it high , the king of battle is passing by ..."
I hear you calling, calling to meeeee. King of The Battle, Field Artilleryyyyy.
@@deusvult6920 😂🤌🏼excellent
I’ve never heard that nickname before…
@@somedude7633 well were you ever 13B
Lol! Go back a little farther:
"Then it's Hi! Hi! Hee!, in th e Field Artillery. [...] And the caissons, go rolling along!
Was it high? Was it low? Where the hell did that one go!?? [....] And the caissons, go rolling along".
Isn't that still the Army's anthem?
The most terrifying communication to intercept, “Good hit, fire for effect.”.
I love the term "fire for effect" like someone is gonna just send hundreds of thousands of dollars of shells raining on an enemy to give them a pretty light show. Like the world's most terrifying Fireworks
@@biosaber585 “fire for effect” basically means “we’re on target, now make it rain” because they no longer have to wait for each shell impact to see if they’re hitting the target.
So yeah. Essentially exactly what you said is literally what’s about to happen.
@@OneBiasedOpinion hmmm stay frosty
Artillery isn't much good without a Forward Observer to tell it what grid square to hit, if there are allies or other important assets that are "Danger - Close" to err on one side not the other, then confirm the first hit is on-target, or how far off to adjust fire, in what direction. Maybe someday a human piloting a drone will be trusted with that task, but AFAIK not yet.

Definition of :”private you see that mountain over there?”
“Yes sir”
“I don’t like it get rid of it”
“Yes sir”
Overused comment
The US could literally just collectively decide whether or not they want something to exist or turn into dust.
@@djtrac3r935”Mr president what do you have to say about the mountain currently blocking a massive goldmine that would take years to mine through?”
“The us military will make work of it in about 1 hour”
need something way bigger than some arty for that lmao.. what you trying to do tickle the mountain?
You’re thinking of what the USS Wisconsin did to a Japanese artillery emplacement.
If there are no air units, Artillery is king.
Or missiles
@@yudhiadi6100 missiles are expensive to deploy alot in war.
@@yudhiadi6100
You can counter missles by shoot and scoot tactics. Aircrafts are much more trouble.
The reason it is king is because It is responsible for the most deaths of any weapon used in combat.
The King Kills All.

how about AA plus Artillery?

Technically through the lend lease agreement American tax payers are basically a credit union. Ukraine has to pay for the systems eventually, which means America actually profits from sending these systems.

No, but u can get extra explosion on your ass, just enjoy thats buddy.
That's funny, I thought artillery's nickname was "grid square removal."
Nah that's the MLRS system. In a more expensive way of delivering HE and other stuff
Like delete.exe
"ATTACK THE D POINT!"
Cannon artillery just destroys a specific point in the grid square, MLRS make the grid square disappear
