Wonder if newest variants with GPS are subject to signal jamming. Seems like old terrain radar mapping and optical comparison would be a good back-up. Hoping US military has some secrets to keep them on course if and when they are launched.
I tend to agree with this. The main issue is we don't have a material that is resilient enough to withstand the heat and current generated by the magnetic fields for railguns. The U.S. Navy testing of the concept revealed that you would have to replace the rails every 400 rounds or so, which may seem reasonable, until you realize that the railgun they tested (at least, 3 years ago according to the paper I read about it) was capable of firing 10 rounds/min.
Now they want to change to a new $300,000 dollar Missile in HellFire place. Making military contractors millionaires. The newer missile is not worth the money each!🖕! I would rather have three to one. Pisses me off.!.
"That's Why This Howitzer Is The Best In The World" .... The reason is that the creator of this content suffers delusions ;D The best howitzer? First sentence he tones it down already ".. is considered one of the best ..." So it's not the very best anymore? And the large orders are probably due to the fact that the device is available and reasonable priced... The same reason why some people choose a Dacia over a Volvo :D
The only thing new, news about this HIMARS system is this narator. Otherwise systems much th very same as HIMARS have been in use for the last 25years.
United States needs to mind their own business and stay out of other people's problems we have enough of them right here in the USA maybe ought to work on that.
Drone strike capabilities needs to be looked at including coordination with friendly drone operators and the land to air strike capabilities of this new vehicle.
The Abrams tanks that have been given to Ukraine are also the “export” version. They use a Tungsten allow armor, which is good, but not anywhere near as good as the Depleted Uranium/Chobham/Kevlar/Ceramics armor that is on the U.S. tanks. The U.S. saves that armor mixture for ourselves, and it isn’t exported to anyone, anywhere. It’s kind of like the US Army’s version of the F-22 Raptor.
@@willymac5036 I don't think armor is the problem. Missiles and drones attack the top or the back where the armor is the thinnest, regardless which type of armor.
@@ice-xv1hi although that is true, it takes nearly TWICE the amount of Tungsten armor to provide the same level of protection as the US Version. If they were using the US armor profile, I seriously doubt those drone attacks would be getting through. ATGM’s are another story altogether though.
I think many many M1 got damaged and destroyed in Iraq by IEDs and the like its just not possible to build any tank that's indestructible Some 5 or now many 8 m1s have been damaged or destroyed in Ukraine all by mines and then drones the crew always seam to get out ok so that's the best you can do The ammunition in an M1 is stored in the busl at the back of the turret this was very good for could war facing Russian tanks head on but now you never face a tank its always drones and the back of the turret is the first thing attacked the answer??? Active protection system? Is probably the only way to go because tanks are now destroyed 10 kilometers from the front line If you look at the Israeli Merkava it's turret seams to have all the armour on the roof and it's got the best APS in the world.. you never here of 1 of them being knocked out with a drone
Tell me one war America actually won..away from world wars coz it's a "World war"... Don't search the net it's none America never won a war in it's history
