France sends  

The Caesar artillery system is no joke. It’s 155mm/52 howitzer has a range of up to 42km (standard ammunition), up to 50km (rocked assisted ammunition) and up to 60km (new ammunition jointly developed by NEXTER BAE Sweden). That out-ranged all artillery system fielded by Russian forces like 2S1, 2S3, 2S7, 2S9, 2S19 and 2S34 whist being highly mobile and easy to deploy.

Tradition of french army is to have great artillery.

Caesar would have been sweet to use on that 40 km convoy. Slava Ukraini.

Vive la France! 🇫🇷

Ukrainian army have strongly request long range artillery. This is a good answer with something already validate in some battle.

This is real! Thank you France 🇫🇷 for helping Ukraine 🇺🇦 to achieve Victory over Russia.

At this point Russia must feel like a punching bag. It getting hit with all kinds of weapons only maybe seen in books or on the internet.

As someone who is a fan of the old Asterix comics its really funny for me that France has a weapon system called Caesar

maintaining this wide variety of materiel is going to be a logistical pain in the ass. hope there is a support function in these aid packages

Good to know : Caesar is validated to use Excalibur ( us/nato ) guided shell, Bonus (swedish-french) guided shell, and soon Katana. The three give him 50+ km range and between 5m / 10cm precision.

Presently due to the weather conditions the Russians for the next few weeks will be locked to roads due to the soft ground. This unit is a shoot and scoot weapon which is just what Ukraine needs.

Ukraine getting the heavy metal puts a smile on my face

Good news. The US has given a total of 90 X M777 howitzers so far.

Caesar will have negotiations with the Russians. Hope they listen to to his whispering of peace and go home Russia. Slava Ukraini

Russia will not like Special Ogre Operations. Ukraine is now a laboratory for how to coordinate a huge number of disparate artillery systems including Switchblade 600s and Phoenix Ghosts. And using drone-assist for all of it.

Thanks for using the metric system... Myself I'm always confused with inches feet and other body parts.

French are really good to build the most versatile equipments , very smart system.

A 155 artillery piece is never a joke. I hope the Ukrainians use it very well.

French Tech , awesome stuff !

Merci la france

You should make a video on the real pinnacle of mobile artillery Ukraine is about to receive: The ultra-high-tech German-made Pzh 2000s. Donated by the Netherlands while Germany will provide training and munitions.

Imagine theses beasts shooting and scooping with the capabilities of close drone assisted target acquisition, Incredible precision with incredible speed and flexibility all of that far from danger... if well trained theses Caesar teams are going to be a permanent nightmare for Russians until the end. Only way to counter that is going to be with luck and from the air and they are going to have to eat lots of manpads and aa before finding them.

I would have guessed that the Swedish Archer SPH is a more efficient fully automatic howitzer with a smaller crew & possibly a faster, fully automatic fire control system. It has even been integrated with a MAN chassis.

Thank you 💕 France ☺️. GLORY ❤️ to UKRAINE!!!

That's serious hardware. Being self propelled it should wipe out columns and command centers.

"Ouest" means "west" and is pronounced much more like west (Ouu-est, not "oust", like "ouster")

The sooner the better!! Slava Ukraine!!!💛💙

Bomblets are essentially cluster bombs

This is super help for Ukraine

Most casualty come from artillery.

Hopefully Spain will send a some SAIC 155/52, they not so advanced but its still better than nothing.

you should probably look at numbers - even if Cesar is a very capable systems, Urkaine likelly needs at least 40-60 systems to make a serious impact. A number of these will be destroyed, some even on their way from a border nation to Donbas. They need capable air defence for protection and preferably counter artillery radar for fire direction

WOW The French government have impressed me with this generous gift to Ukraine, FFS these munitions are not cheap and if someone was firing them at me i'd run.

What this video does not say is that the power of these artillery systems lies in their precision. E.g. the American howitzer system can hit a target with 4 meter accuracy from a distance of 50 to 70 kilometers (30 to 50 miles). The Russians won't have any idea where these shells are coming from as they descend vertically in a straight line from above.

Hail Caesar. Now SEND IT.

They need to be this good with a very long range due to the lack of crew protection. Together with the Dutch PzH-2000 they are going to be very good. Ogre munition to destroy orcs it is starting to sound like i am reading a fantasy book 🤣🤣🤣

canon d'une extrême précision à 40kms de distance il touche la cible dans un rayon de moins d'1 mètre maximum.. une fois déterminée la cible n'a aucune chance et l'obus est vraiment puissant !

Things are about to get very interesting 🤔

These guns can be a game changer.

Well if France is providing Caesar 155mm, then US can provide Brutus 155mm which is easier to maintain though half the distance of Caesar. 🌻

Hope french and swedes will deliver BONUS guided ammo with it, one headshot is allways more impressive than ten around the target

Keeps the enemies head down? It kills them! Former Viet Nam Artilleryman.

Looks like a self propelled gun rather than a howitzer to me, but what do I know

In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land. The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus. Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author. Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate. Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation. Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention.....

Brilliant

Ouest, like the word “Oui”, not the long O.

Why the heck is this channel autoactivate subtitle. The guy speaks very clear english.

It's about time for France sends some of their weapons to Ukraine . When will Italy , Spain , and Portugal send some weapons to Ukraine ? I reckon that the people of those countries are supporting Ukraine with humanitarian aide , but their governments probably have some weapons that could be sent into battle against Russia .

Nice system. Even my own coward country Canada sent 4 155mm towed howitzers.

It look like the Archers older brother.

Did the name of the newspaper confuse anyone else? When they were talking about it, at first i was like "Oust france from where"? Lmao

Vive l'Ukraine ! 🇫🇷🇺🇦❤️

Good vid. Regards from Malaysian utuber

Thanks for all the facts. The poor Russians.

Denmark has some of these also. We should send them to Ukraine. Good job France 👍👏

It's "ta-less" not "fales", the "h" in Thales in silent.

Caesar plus M777 mobile arty teams would be insane.

The Dutch PzH 2000 being reportedly supplied to Ukraine as well gonna get it's own video? 😉

Artillery is the King of the Battlefield. 19 Delta US. Army MOS.

Set playback speed to 1.25x and it sounds about right.

I bet they also have espresso makers.

Heres the thing. Any piece of hardware more advanced than a humvee is going to need specialised training. You don't just pick up a state of the art robotic howitzer and use it. Especially if you can't even read the instruction manual. try going from apple OS to Windows but in a different language, except you run the risk of accidently blowing yourself up if you push the wrong button.

0.011 sq miles = 306,000 sq ft = 7.04 acres.

How is that system going to be undetected,it will be destroyed before it reaches the battlefield

Has France said anything about what shells how many it is sending?

"Oust France"? Really?! [facepalm] You know that it means "west", right? And you know that when you type a word in Google Translate, you can listen to it to know how it's pronounced, right? It's the minimum a professional should do. Thank you! SLAVA UKRAYINY !

Ils peuvent aller sur tous les terrains et très rapidement c'est justement son efficacité pas vue pas pris

The French newspaper ‘Ouest France’ is NOT pronounced “oust” France; it’s “west” France. “ouest” in French means “west” in English and is pronounced exactly as in English (“ouest” = “west”). Jaysus….get some decent European editors on your staff.

"Will send" not "have sent".

Precision Guided Artillery by GPS..accurate more or less to 10 feet..fire range up to 35 milles...with a lot of punch..mobile..traveling range of 400 milles..without refueling, amongst the best 3 systems in the world. There is already military people from Ukraine on the ground training in France. If Marine Le Pen is elected as a president of France, it will be finished quickly...she is a Putin's fan...NATO standards.

🇫🇷🇺🇦

It's not Hagen"bite"en, but Hagen"beet"en (ie = ee, phonetically).

Bonus rounds are pretty deadly, if they are supplied with plenty of those, good times. Still French and Germans should be in Ukraine with their tanks ad aircraft.

The Danish Army recently bought 19 of an improved version of Caesar, which has impressed in its firepower but been critisised for not protecting the crew during firing like the old M109 system. Last week the Danish PM promised Ukraine weapons worth 80 million €, but it hasn't been revealed what kind of weapons, but the Caesar system has already been rumoured as a possibility. That would leave the Danish army without artillery however, but I suppose the Ukranians are more in an urgent need.

So far heading to Ukraine from the west. 88 M777 155mm howitzers from the US 4 M777 155mm howitzers from Canada 12 Caesar 155mm SPGs from France unspecified number of artillery from Britain. unspecified number of MLRS systems from Slovakia Ukraine is going to have a very powerful addition to its already very effective artillery. Plus more drones for spotting and more counter-battery radar systems to locate Russian batteries.

Therefore isn't the Ogre a frag shell which is illegal under international law?

Not available until May (2022?).

How would Ukraine survive with this old model artillery vehicles

ARTILLERY is old fashioned...accordind ng to who??

Sharing

wow twelve what a joke, hardly what Ukraine needs

now i will never EVER use VPN. end OF STORY

Twelve? 1 2 3 4 5 - 12!!!!! That's a joke!!!!!

Good… but only 12, not exactly over generous from France. They use standard NATO shells, but Ukraine may have maintenance problems if they get lots of drips and drabs from different countries.

Well done France it’s a start. It will complement the U.K’s 20 AS90 155 howitzers with 45,000 shells, 50 Stormer, Starstreak CVRT armoured track vehicles, 120 Mastiffs and Foxhounds and backfilling Polands with 50 Challenger tanks and 10,000 NLAWS ATGMs, 100 Brimstone Anti ship missiles…..etc etc.

Nice...after 2014 France and Germany delivered mostly equipment to Russia. People have to make a living...... ? Getting dizzy while doing so!

give 'em helll Ukrainians

I hope the French actually did that and that it was not just another election trick. Prime Ministers will say anything to curry favors with the voting public but their deeds more often than not are almost the opposite of what they say. My own PM, Mark Rutte, is a master of that.

France can now also ship Marine Le Pen to Russia

👏👍

It seems everyone involved is getting an opportunity to compare and contrast some weapon systems in an actual hostile environment with a near-peer adversary.

hail caesar ukraine ivicta

Twelve howitzers? Will that change anything?

Sounds great. Can the Ukrainians read the French instruction manual and all of the French language dials

ukraine has got the goods now. 👌

Ouest ... said "West"

A good effort! The "great" General Alexander Dvornikov had to kill a 3 month-old baby at Odesa! May the Ukrainian Easter see its people blessed and the demise of Putin. May the Miraculous Mother of God Kursk Root icon help Mariupol, Kharkiv and all other places which are being pounded by the Russian military. May fighter jets, no-fly zones, artillery, tanks, drones and anything else available to clear Ukraine of Putin's forces.

Video is 90% useless, unless you are concern with its over length. However, glad to hear the French are doing something. Amount time.

Turn up that loud music up even more louder I kept hearing someone mumbling

Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai claims that Russian forces now control 80% of the region. Haidai said that Russian troops have seized the town of Kreminna and are threatening Rubizhne and Popasna. Meanwhile, Zelensky said Kyiv is working with allies to make sure Russia feels the "pain" of sanctions. Mykhail Podoliak offered himself for "a special round of negotiations" with Russians in Mariupol to save Ukrainians trapped there. Meanwhile, UK PM Boris Johnson said dealing with Russia's President Putin was like bargaining with a "crocodile
