- U.S. Soldiers load and fire the Paladin M109A6 Artillery System with 155mm artillery rounds. At 07:00 the crew of soldiers exits the Paladin once the first round is loaded into the breech and a 50-foot lanyard is attached to the firing mechanism. The lanyard is a safety precaution in the event there is a malfunction with the new tube.
An M109A6 Paladin is Overall product improvement in the areas of survivability, RAM, and armament. This includes increased armor, redesigned (safer) internal storage arrangement for ammunition and equipment, engine and suspension upgrades, and product improvement of the M284 cannon and M182A1 mount. The greatest difference is the integration of an inertial navigation system, sensors detecting the weapons' lay, automation, and an encrypted digital communication system, which utilizes computer controlled frequency hopping to avoid enemy electronic warfare and allow the howitzer to send grid location and altitude to the battery fire direction center (FDC). The battery FDCs in turn coordinate fires through a battalion or higher FDC. This allows the Paladin to halt from the move and fire within 30 seconds with an accuracy equivalent to the previous models when properly emplaced, laid, and safed-a process that required several minutes under the best of circumstances. Tactically, this improves the system's survivability by allowing the battery to operate dispersed by pairs across the countryside and allowing the howitzer to quickly displace between salvos, or if attacked by indirect fire, aircraft, or ground forces.
Ammunition storage is increased from 36 to 39 155 mm rounds.

This reminds me of when I used to visit family in Fayetteville NC..and on some nights, you could hear the artillery practice being conducted at Ft Bragg..miles away..and it sounded like thunder in the distance. Amazing power.
Man I miss those days.
My first MOS 13 B red leg baby. I drove one of These M109A6 and the CAT ammo carrier as well. Used to sleep on the side next to the tracks during 3 day pony express ftx in Korea. While missions were running. All those gun bunnies know what I mean about that. Super quiet inside when all the hatches are closed. Man I miss those days. Made a lot of memories. You know what’s funny? To this day I still know all the parts and specs to this machine. They drilled it in me for life. I could probably step right in today and run a fire mission.
Music to my ears.
These were great to call in!
The sound of freedom.
I'm assuming they're firing these rounds without the explosive warhead right?
It’s so pretty ❤️
As a Veteran 13B Gun Dog, I enjoy watching the machines I trained on. But, once again, 98% Boom 2% what it does, some 18 miles away...
The paladin is a standoff weapon, I really don't think it would be used firing low direct fire in action.
Dr Bendover Definetely nice to have that ability though.
youd be surprised

Must not be a Redleg...
Their training for the inevitable, direct contact..., self defense against an approaching armored vehicle.
One of my proudest fap.
God DAYUMM this is satisfying.
Totally awesome...wow love 💘 💘 💘 IT...great training to. I do greatly appreciate it a lot and I enjoy watching your videos too..Thank you for everything you do...
I was in germany in 1972. Gunner and driver. Bayreuth germany. Spec 4 wayne burroughs 155 how. Hey to my buds.
155mm direct fire. That's so cool.
I wonder if that would kill a MBT.
Probably no penetration to a front armer, but to a side or just taking it out of operation.
Oleg nakk37 I think the sheer velocity would kill the tank
Lol are you kidding? Of course that will destroy a tank. How strong do you think tanks are??? Lil
The spalling of such a shell would kill all crew inside of an MBT, period.
Why don't they pressurize inside tanks, so that high velocity shells won't kill the crew because of the spalling? Creatin a vaccum could help isolate the tank airspace inside from external pressure...
Considering that there firing high explosive shells they wouldn’t be a to kill a mbt but if they were firing armor piercing the would obliterate a mbt
What a Beast! MURICA! FUCK YEA!!
А ну, чики-брики и в дамки!
With the Paladin in direct fire, does the quadrant and elevation still have to be synced by two crew members to "aim" the tube?
SEAN HAHN no.....even before I got out in 2004, they had actually done away with the ag position
So beautiful
Дай Аллах вам победу! Аммин.
This chassis looks awfully small and flimsy for its gun. I wonder how many shots it can withstand before it simply falls apart. It sure looks like the gun was supposed to be something like a 122-mm initially.
super
Where is this place??

power
Drop the spades!
no need to. better stability with spades, but not nessecary. the action now is fire and relocate instantly
Power💪💪💪
What a beast...

Just Bad Ass.
Wow

The paladin been around since the 1960s....time for a new one......PzH2000 is the standard.
Pzh2000 isn't standard, it's still one of the most expensive artillery systems.
Not even close.
Paladin started with the A6 back in 97. My unit fielded some of the first ones. Prior to that there were different cannons on them. Completely different weapons. Same hull.....not much else. The A7 shares alot of parts commonality with the Bradley if what I read is correct.
It still kills isis and communist dogs. (sorry dogs deserve better treatment)
Keep it killing them
what happened if my get shoot?
