@Procyon Lotor logistically the us dominates all other countries. No other country at this time can launch a long distance campaign and keep up with logistics like the us. That's why Russia has invested in the development of super long range weaponry. But you are very correct to never underestimate any advisory. For example, is all we have to do is look back to the Vietnam conflict and the ideological wars on Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all, just kind of pointing out that at least not everything is stolen tech. Or if it was somehow stolen, it may be something that was discarded early on.

Excalibur has actually been around for a while now (been used in Iraq). The artillery piece itself is the new element. Also, just for some more information, there are a few ways of extending the range of an artillery piece without altering the cannon itself. One way is called base-bleed. Base bleed is where a gas generating component is on the back of the projectile (but it is not a rocket, it generates no significant thrust), which mitigates the vacuum that is generated by the projectile by it traveling through the air at high speed, allowing the projectile to reach and maintain a higher speed for a longer duration (the vacuum acts like a form of drag). Another way is obviously putting a rocket on the projectile (called a Rocket Assisted Projectile). One other way is to use a more powerful propellant in the tube (as long as the artillery tube can withstand the higher pressure).
@@snewsom2997 it's still a GPS guided two stage missile, the first stage is just a cannon. It is cheaper, but what is the viability compared with the savings? I'm not criticizing, just curious.
@@snewsom2997 The propulsion system is the cheap part of the missile. It's the guidance that's expensive, and that doesn't change whether it's a guided missile or a guided artillery shell.
My first thought: "Amazing, but I really don't see the purpose. Why not just send a missile?" Well, a Hellfire has an effective range of ~7 miles. So. Yea.
@@lestermarshall6501 Wait...you think the government cares about cost? LOL! I've seen TONS of Hellfires fired at a single dude before. Tooooons of them. Hell, fired one at a single dude from the plane I was on when I was in Asscrackistan. Happens ALL the time. Money is no object when it's not your money.
The new shell uses the Swis developed gas generater to both reduce the vacuum that slows it and provides thrust, to extend range. Their ability to vary direction in flight makes every she'll worth a hundred unguided shells. Shells fired in remote battlefields cost many times those on a fireing range.
not very secret, and not very US, considering that the Swedish Archer system also fires excalibur with about the same range. So it's more like, the US got a bigger gun to fire it from, as one might expect. ;)

I worked with a guy in the 1980's who was in the army reserves. He told me then that there were nuclear artillery rounds. This blew me away....not literally of course. :)
The first artillery test was on May 25, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. Fired as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole and codenamed Shot GRABLE, a 280 mm (11 inch) shell with a gun-type fission warhead was fired 10,000 m (6.2 miles) and detonated 160 m (525 ft) above the ground with an estimated yield of 15 kilotons.[1] This was the only nuclear artillery shell ever actually fired in the U.S. nuclear weapons test program. The shell was 1384 mm (4.5 ft) long and weighed 365 kg (805 lb). It was fired from a special, very large artillery piece, nicknamed "Atomic Annie", Actually today the US Military doesn't have any nuclear weapons, none, zip, nada. Really, the US Military has **no** nuclear weapons.
They didn't. IF this was released 20 years ago, you might have a point. Do note, they are still firing these rounds out at VERY low velocity when talking artillery. Reason? At that range, hitting what you want to hit(anything over 15 miles) is more important than range. If range were the end all be all, we could send those rounds down range at 2.5X their current velocity using current gun barrel technology. BTW: So can anyone else. There is no magic in a gun barrels exit velocity. That ship sailed 80 years ago + slightly better metallurgy for better reliability. All the tech is in the guidance of the shell.
@@10469 Well you obviously didn't pay attention in history class. Totalitarian regimes have a habit of invading other peoples land, steal their resources and impose their will onto others. And you can see China is doing just that, ya know the whole building islands in international waters and then claiming its sovereign territory.
Correct, its called base bleed munitions, in the angolan war when the G5 and G6 howitzers were started up the cubans and Russians began pissing their pants when they saw the incomming trails
"According to Kyle Mizakame from Popular Mechanics, this longer barrel allows quote 'expanding gasses triggered by the shell powder to act upon the projectile for a greater period of time, increasing velocity.'." In other words, _longer barrel make bullet go faster._
Russia has the GDP of Italy. Their one and only aircraft carrier has never yet returned to port under it own power. The greatest worry about Russian ICBMs is that one might launch accidentally. Don’t worry about what Russia pretends they can do.
You cannot deploy artillery without air superiority. If you have air superiority, you don’t need artillery. 🤷♀️ The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict last summer showed the future where smaller drones and smaller munitions can fill in for vulnerable artillery. If these long-range artillery rounds were as cheap as regular ones, it might still make sense, but they’re crazy expensive.

@@dx1450 🤣🤣🤣
So where doe the map of North Wales fit in ? Been trying to keep em out of Cheshire since before the Romans arrived .
I would be more concerned with Grand Fenwick,
@@bartonfendelman8032 ? 🤫
1000 mile range!? Paris gun suddenly comes to mind.
We can land a 155mm round in a trash can at 40 km with the 109A6 palidin
Looks like the rest of the world is catching up to the South African G6 Rhino howitzer series.
I love the United States ability to just be like, "oh they have something better? We need it too." And just come out with something that just utterly stumps everything everyone else has. Simply because we can.
That’s because your military budget is bigger than every other countries total earnings (besides China).
That's what you believe.
@@quokka7555 I agree with the other guy commenting. Your extremely annoying and rude for no reason. Go find something else to do keyboard warrior
Firstly, its not finished yet. Secondly, it should only achieve same range russian artillery already has...
@@dawedws Yeah, because having a longer range wouldn't be fair.
Play this at 1.5x to actually feel like you're being shot out of a cannon over 43 miles
U pronounced chassis wrong. Its actually pronounced chassis not chassis so when u say chassis again u can say chassis not chassis
Nailed it
Zathras?
@@NorthForkFisherman I was wondering the same thing
Like the Russians never exaggerated anything in their lives.
Why are you talking that fast? It´s realy hard to keep up for a non English speaker :(
Low key the music in your videos are 🔥🔥🔥
Thats not a bad idea now that you mention it, hit d.c. from Baltimore.
Boomer can't handle that daddy trump got the boot from public office huh? Now he's gonna have to divulge his tax returns through a subpoena
@@DavidGarcia-oi5nt No problem with Trump leaving and my remark was humor, just in case you need an explanation. The realities of Biden and his policies thread the gap between communism and 1984. It is one thing to hate a politician, quite another to annihilate the bill of rights trying to annul him.
Thanks 👍
Shit, we had them beat back in the early 00s with the NLOS cannon, but it got cancelled.
I worked with a guy in the 1980's who was in the army reserves. He told me then that there were nuclear artillery rounds. This blew me away....not literally of course. :)
nice one !
The first artillery test was on May 25, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. Fired as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole and codenamed Shot GRABLE, a 280 mm (11 inch) shell with a gun-type fission warhead was fired 10,000 m (6.2 miles) and detonated 160 m (525 ft) above the ground with an estimated yield of 15 kilotons.[1] This was the only nuclear artillery shell ever actually fired in the U.S. nuclear weapons test program. The shell was 1384 mm (4.5 ft) long and weighed 365 kg (805 lb). It was fired from a special, very large artillery piece, nicknamed "Atomic Annie",
Actually today the US Military doesn't have any nuclear weapons, none, zip, nada. Really, the US Military has **no** nuclear weapons.
Chassis is pronounced “chassey”, as in a car chassis.
Darn it, looks like I didn't go far enough down into the comments to find someone else already comment on a seemingly AI fauxpas.
Excellent info
Yeah, let's tell our adversaries how high they need to set the bar.
You really think they get their intel from TH-cam videos? They already know.
They didn't. IF this was released 20 years ago, you might have a point. Do note, they are still firing these rounds out at VERY low velocity when talking artillery. Reason? At that range, hitting what you want to hit(anything over 15 miles) is more important than range. If range were the end all be all, we could send those rounds down range at 2.5X their current velocity using current gun barrel technology. BTW: So can anyone else. There is no magic in a gun barrels exit velocity. That ship sailed 80 years ago + slightly better metallurgy for better reliability. All the tech is in the guidance of the shell.
That breakdown at the end tho!!! Woah!!!
And this is the waste of money this country spends it’s money on.
Yeah so we should probably let China have the upper hand
@@TreeofLiberty1791 and so what if they have it?.. it’s ok for us to have it?. They have you living in fear
@@10469 Well you obviously didn't pay attention in history class. Totalitarian regimes have a habit of invading other peoples land, steal their resources and impose their will onto others. And you can see China is doing just that, ya know the whole building islands in international waters and then claiming its sovereign territory.
Going with a little heavy metal music on this one... It's a good fit for the content I like it
For 100k a shot, I will personally put that round in my car and just drive it to the target
it's that expensive because it is not at the mass production stage yet. Once it hits mass production prices will drop way down.
Love the outro music in this one!
South African built artillery like these decades ago allready. Tested in war. Iran/Iraq, Angola...
Correct, its called base bleed munitions, in the angolan war when the G5 and G6 howitzers were started up the cubans and Russians began pissing their pants when they saw the incomming trails
@@neilpieterse9614 Gerald Bull again. See earlier comment.
"According to Kyle Mizakame from Popular Mechanics, this longer barrel allows quote 'expanding gasses triggered by the shell powder to act upon the projectile for a greater period of time, increasing velocity.'."
In other words, _longer barrel make bullet go faster._
Godda love peace and freedom
Can we call this piece of artillery the yeet machine
0:18secs - 0:21 secs......a military attack on my motherland, Wales?!?!?! well....i thought lockdown sucked....
Lol. I haven’t noticed here in Holyhead 🤣
@@vinceking7878 hahahahahaha!!! I watched it and thought WTF?!?!? Something I need to know here???? Lol!!!!
Russians: 38 miles
Americans: 43 Miles
Germans: Hol' Up
Now the question is; can America afford to buy and maintain whole stockpiles for its armed forces?
At the expense of its other forces and branches?
Sure as long as the rest of the world keeps buying oil anywhere they buy it.
Yeah, funding isn't really an issue like it is for other nations. The defense budget could just buy other countries outright.
At the expense of everything else or no wait let’s just go farther into debt😎👌
"Our adversaries don't have the capability to hit a target at 43 miles..." - They don't need to, they already have their people IN the white house.
So, the Pentagon is FINALLY using some of Gerald Bull's artillery designs. WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?
No they aren't
@@DavidGarcia-oi5nt YES, we are... source: my own US Army experience.
Great video.
Russia has the GDP of Italy. Their one and only aircraft carrier has never yet returned to port under it own power. The greatest worry about Russian ICBMs is that one might launch accidentally. Don’t worry about what Russia pretends they can do.
A long history of their fascination with doomsday weapons
5:03 Kentucky Ballistics: "IT'S WATERMELON TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!"
More than a trillion dollars in the military and we’re lacking?
Toilet seats ain't cheap where the Pentagon gets them.
You cannot deploy artillery without air superiority. If you have air superiority, you don’t need artillery. 🤷♀️
The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict last summer showed the future where smaller drones and smaller munitions can fill in for vulnerable artillery.
If these long-range artillery rounds were as cheap as regular ones, it might still make sense, but they’re crazy expensive.
My thoughts exactly. This un no way replaces air support, to the contrary it necessitates it.
South Africans making happy g6 noises
yawn
@@email4664 yawn away sir but you would still be out ranged.
Whos the band playing in the background? Theyre rad, I love me some good post-grind metal.
As much as the projectiles cost, it would be cheaper to give the enemy troops a substantial bonus to just go home and chill.
imagine you driving away from a bank robbery you just commited, with no police officer in sight chasing you, you are in the middle of the desert, and you blow up all of a sudden
