The Army’s current howitzers, the towed M-777 and the self-propelled M-109, are reported to shoot just 14 miles with standard rounds and 19 miles with rocket-assisted shells. Russian howitzers, on the other hand, can already fire at a range of up to 43 miles. For these reasons, the US ground-combat branch is now spending billions of dollars improving the firing range of its howitzers and rocket launchers, as well as creating new, long-range rockets in order to match, then exceed, its rivals’ artillery capabilities.
On March 6, 2020, the US Army conducted a fire test at Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. Two 155-millimeter howitzer projectiles were launched out to a range of 40 miles. This howitzer was one of the Army’s prototype Extended-Range Cannon Artillery systems or ERCA. The ERCA is the first in a series of new long-range weapons for the Army, combining the newest M-109A7 chassis with a new 30-feet-long barrel.
In addition, the Yuma test deployed two different shell types, including an Excalibur GPS-guided shell and an XM1113 rocket-assisted projectile. A new ramjet-propelled shell developed by a Norwegian company could extend the ERCA’s range out to 60 or even 80 miles. In addition, the XM1113, which is expected to enter service in the next several years, increases the effective shooting range of earlier M-777s and M-109s howitzers from 19 miles to 24 miles. This test shots, therefore, marked a start of massive modernization of the Army’s artillery, with the first battalions of 18 farther-firing guns expected to be deployed in 2023.

@lacdirk 2 года назад

The reason the artillery was somewhat neglected is that US and NATO strategy more or less requires air superiority, and when that is present, artillery is not needed. Is there any sign that either US or NATO are considering changing their strategy to fight indefinitely under contested airspace? A lot more than just artillery will have to change then. What boggles the mind is that the US military doesn't just buy French 52-cal CAESar or German PzH-2000 systems and focuses on the targeting and ammo development/production.

@chash7335 2 года назад

You got that right. I did a year in RVN in an artillery battery and I was grateful on a daily basis we had air superiority and that it wasn't cold. That was over 50 year ago and our 175mm gun could shoot ~35 kM with an effective/deadly radius of 90 m.

@lacdirk 2 года назад

@A Perpetual Guardsman with a flashlight Probably because of the smaller crew. The weapon itself is fine, as long as it operates close to maintenance (it's very complex). It's also a lot more expensive than CAESar, I hear. If they at least just buy a proven design from an ally rather than trying to invent the wheel, I'll be happy.

@chaosXP3RT 2 года назад

The US is looking into a mobile system similar to the CAESAR that fits on the back of existing Humvees and trucks like the HIMARS does

@johnsilver9338 2 года назад

US wants an artillery that can hit 70km - 100km range, of which there are developing 3 versions. XM1299 which uses the old M109 chassis, a truck version like the Caesar, and a towed version if I'm not wrong. Besides being cheaper than using aircraft to drop bombs, it's also a direct response to peer threats like Russia particularly China with PLZ-05 and PCL-181 that outranges their current M777 and M109 systems. Even allied artillery outrange current US systems. It's part of a bigger program called ERCA (Extended Range Canon Artillery), which is also under Army's Long Range Precision Fires modernization program that aims to extends ranges of all kinds of artillery including the M270 MLRS, M142 HIMARS and even stand-off weapons.

@lacdirk 2 года назад

@@johnsilver9338 Bombing is very cheap (when you have air superiority), and can be extremely accurate with no more than passive flight control (i.e. no rocket) and since the plane is already there, laser guidance is an easy substitute for expensive GPS navigation systems on the munitions. To get over 40km, the shells need to have some propulsion, i.e. they gradually become rockets. But they are limited in size and length by having to be fired from arty. The result is expensive ammo that can not be produced in great quantities like Excalibur. A smart bomb costs 20-40K per piece, but a single factory can knock out hundreds per day. Of course, some smart bombs are also fully self-guided and self-propelled (like GBU-53), but then they become just as expensive and slow to produce as all other similar missile systems. In short, the reason air superiority became the cornerstone of NATO strategy is partly because it allows the use of very cheap, smart munitions that can be produced in relatively high numbers. If NATO is forced to compete in a long war with Chinese or Russian artillery, without air superiority, it currently stands no chance. In fact, it will never stand a chance, unless it drops its resistance to using cluster munitions or tactical nukes, which compensate for their inaccuracy by hitting large areas. Note that both cluster munitions and tactical nukes were an integral part of NATO strategy for a land war in Europe during the Cold War.

I was wondering that too. I am no expert, but I have never heard of a 43 mile range. I assume they are talking about a rocket assisted shell, but I think even that is 30 to 35 miles. I have also heard the M777 range is 14 to 18 miles with a base shell and 18 - 25 with a rocket assisted shell. So, I am not sure what is factual.

The US army is seriously considering equipping itself with such a system...ranges from the Caesar: 38km with standard shells, 43km with aerodynamic shells, up to 50km with rocket assisted shells, and up to 70km with the NEXTER Katana shells

@MrThisIsMeToo 5 месяцев назад

Agreed. I stopped watching after the initial bogus range. Even in the late 80s and 90s we could call in fire 30 clicks away from any 155 or 8 inch. MLRS in the Gulf War was about 100 clicks. Not sure where this video got their numbers.

@mrtreeves 5 месяцев назад

The Army got rid of all the Nuclear rounds in the early 90's. I think that what is lost is how long the tubes will last reaching out that far. We did a ton of testing using different powders when I was an office at Fort Sill and red bag greatly reduces the number of rounds you can fire per hour and how many rounds before the tube need to be replaced. The Russians could care less about these things but the US Army makes a big deal about it. They understand that once you degrade the lines and grooves you will start hitting your own troops. That is why in training you almost always shoot green bag. The tubes can last 10,000 rounds but maybe only 2000 on red bag.

10-ft extension was implemented for the 5-inch HARP gun by welding a second barrel section to the first, allowing it to launch projectiles at muzzle velocities of 1554 m/s (5,100 ft/sec) to altitudes of 73,100 m (240,000 ft). Now Ukraine has a few captured Russian tanks with 120 mm smooth bore barrels and welders and machinists? Time to design and develop a long range weapon system?

@AlexKarasev 2 года назад

A barrel alone does not a gun make. Let's say they weld together a few pairs of those with sufficient alignment accuracy and strength (and that's saying something - one of the HARP guns failed there). They'll still need the upgraded mount and aiming systems to make the extended range useful, the propellant charges and the projectiles in sufficient quantity (as in, a LOT), and a whole logistical network to procure supplies, fabricate, and deliver to the front line all of those rounds. There's not a square foot of Ukraine that Russians can't hit, and if there were Ukrainian traitors to sell the Russians one of the HIMARS for $1M and two French guns for $120K each, there will certainly be others to sell that infrastructure's key locations for the right price.

We didn't. Western artillery focus is on ease of deployment and mobility. Long range is no good if you have to rely on a large quantify of unguided munitions because the wind keeps moving your projectiles off course. Their attacks are also more easy to detect and predict by counter battery radar. Medium and short ranged artillery attacks are nearly impossible to detect and assigned a counter battery solution. Counter battery fire is also futile if the battery in question has left their firing position or redeployed by helicopter to a new firing position.

It was about time. US Army's artillery branch was probably the most neglected part of the US military in general. But I don't want to put blame knowing the reason why all this happened. Investing in the next gen artillery systems was seen as the waste of money given the type of warfare US military was involved in in the last 20 years. Firing the M777 howitzer18 miles from forward operating bases (FOBs) against an enemy whose maximum range weapon was Dshka 12,7 mm heavy machine gun and a 5 mile range mortar, was seen not only good enough but an overkill. But times change... And when times change so does the strategy. Different strategy calls on different weapon systems with which your military can execute that strategy and achieve the goals of foreign policy.. And we haven't seen a more impactful and faster change of the world affairs and the relationships between different big time players, in decades. Artillery is once again being seen as an incredibly important part of the way the Army wages war. And that change was seen years before the Ukraine invasion, but it was the War in Ukraine that emphesized it even more and pushed the politicians and the military brass to enforce the change more profoundly and with more speed.

In WW2 my late Dad was a PoW in Italy, having been taken by the Germans in North Africa. After the Italian Armistice he walked south down the east of the country, to join up with the advancing Allies as they came north.

Not only do you have to take in the curvature of the earth, but there is also barometer and weather related data at all the different altitudes that the shell will travel through that have to be taken into account. The wind doesn't blow the same direction at every altitude you know, and artillery rounds can travel through multiple directions in flight. Your dad might be talking about being able to actually see and hear the rounds as they travel overhead, which is normal. You will never hear the one that hits you though.

When artillery is mentioned it always seems to imply a single piece of ordnance when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Batteries work together unless they are antitank where naturally the crews rely on line of sight. As for boasting about the range the field pieces they quickly become vulnerable therefore unlike at Waterloo or the Somme they limber up and relocate.

We were shooting this stuff in Angola in the 1980's. G5 & G6 Shooting at tanks at 40 km and beyond. The Cubans and Russians could not counter that. It changes the course of a war.

@tinkertailor7385 2 года назад

Read about that.... Interesting fight. The Cubans weren't at all happy. :)

@dienar3717 2 года назад

@@tinkertailor7385 It was our 'air superiority', the G6 was one of the most mobile vehicles in the sandy terrian. All these new versions are to some extent copies of these original pieces of equipment. The gunners told us at the high altitude the were shooting with base bleed ammunition way beyond 50 km, hitting vehicles in convoy, including tanks.

The American military is all but a grift. The technology to shoot long distances, as pointed out here, was available in the 80s already. The barrel invented or perfected by William Bull literally blew every other system out of the water at the time, and the Cubans and Russians in Angola had no answer for the G5/G6 range and precision. They're talking about spending Billions here to perfect this. You'd have thought that the Americans (CIA) would have had the South Africans share the technology with them. They were helping ZA covertly anyway. As I said, it's a grift to fleece the taxpayers of more money.

It doesn’t matter if it has longer range (that’s what their claiming) but if you can’t hit your target its basically useless.

"How Far Can U.S. Artillery Shoot?" Once I got a ride along in a B-52H and when flying over military ranges they warned all aircraft to not fly over areas where artillery was being fired. So it must go pretty high in altitude.

During the Great War, the Germans developed several long range cannons which were collectively called the Paris Gun. It (they) could hurl projectiles about 75 miles. The objective was to shell Paris with these guns - and 75 miles was as close as the gun crews could get . I don't think that record distance has been equaled. They did indeed hit Paris with some shells, but damage was not significant. It did, however unsettle some of the citizens on the receiving end.

@WizzRacing 5 месяцев назад

The Issue with longer range Artillery is the Barrel wear.. As most barrels last 400-500 rds. before they need to be replaced. Russia can shoot 40 miles. But at the cost of barrel wear. Which makes them less accurate. It's why they built so many. They use them as an Area saturation projectile. But now they have to produce 100 of thousand rds..

The US Army should’ve been developing these new long range artillery systems 10 years ago. Also, no mention of the back end production/manufacturing infrastructures necessary to support the use of 10-20,000 shells per day. Why is this missing here?

Artillery doesn't matter when you have air and sea superiority. A plane flying overhead can deliver as much punch as an artillery piece. The limit being number of rounds delivery. .

@bobbymartin5220 5 месяцев назад

U.S. Military shoots munitions 35 to 40 KM at most. Russia shoots it 50 KM with one weapons, and now with the just in service artillery, 75 to 80 KM. Worse yet for the Americans, they are now using the Krasnapov munition, which can put a shell in a parking spot from 50 miles away, 75 KM, and hit moving vehicles like tanks going 20 mph.
