This is How Accurate a $4 Million M777 Howitzer's Shooting

awesome british craftmanship

I had to chuckle at the end of this video. As an ex 13F (FO) from the early 80's we called fire for 155mm SP not nearly as fancy as this M777 and we sure didn't have all that fancy gear (gps to name one) much less the fancy computers. I have to say with paper, pen and very well trained troops we enjoyed very high success rates. makes one wonder.

Never been in the military, but god I'd love to pull the lanyard on one of these things... Must be a real buzz for a gunner to fire his first round.

"M9 eight-a-two"😂😂 made me laugh every time, Great vid.

The BRITISH M777 😉 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Has the Iron curtain descended again? Or was this a dig at the Germans?

Former U.S. Army (MOS 45G) -- For a light, air and land transportable artillery system, this weapon is a beast. Yeah, there are some great French and German systems out there, as well as HIMARS, but factor in the varieties of rounds this gun shoots for the cost and you'd be hard pressed to find anything better for the price.

Only 16 feet in 25 miles; incredibly accurate!

three axes work very well. thanks for partners and allies

I retired from the us army right before my Battalion fielded the M777

This is very accurate but subject to counter fire if no air support. In modern war fast paced you have to shot and scoot quickly

Truly a game changer with the 777s doing the heavy lifting so Mr HIMARS can be used far less

M777 is designed and built in the UK 🇬🇧 by BAE Systems

I was reading that one 155 mm projectile minus propellant and fuse cost $300 USD. Instead we have spent $100 million each on the F-35 fighter, starving many other weapons systems. What a misguided travesty.

Wanted to leave a like, but there’re 777 likes, can mess that up

0:22 Alaska: We become Canadian?

0:22 'the hell is up with Germany, DDR or German Democratic Republic doesn't exist anymore since 1989

germany haven't M777

Very impressive. soon we could have the technology to be able to pick off a fly buzzing around an apple someone is eating 30 km away. Save the schools, hospitals and residents.

Grate accuracy!!! The projectile actually left the barrel...

is that a giant bayonet on the end 😮

Who put the old map of Germany in the video?????

I love it when videos compare miles to kilometres to metres to feet..... Stick with kilometres and metres or miles, yards and feet.

Denel G6 155mm has 76km range, and could already reach 40km in 1980, granted it is a much heavier piece

You just can't bring yourself to say that the range is 40km, even though you just said it was a 155 mm in bore, can you? And you simply must use "MM" for millimetre, when it is "mm", don't you?

This video didn’t explain how they use the howitzer to hit a target 25 miles away, just the type of ammo it can shoot. Disappointing, but then again maybe it’s a secret.

So 13B’s don’t just shoot Excalibur rounds they are sooooooo expensive also there are all types of rounds that a m777 can shoot. Ranging from a high explosive round to an illuminated round but most importantly 13B wouldn’t have a clue where to shoot if it wasn’t for 13J and the 13F

The M777 is outdated vulnarable and outright dangerous to its crew it has the following errors: 1. Its towed which means it takes to long to get out of dodge. 2. The crew has no pretection that would be ok if it could get out of fire position fast. 3. Its 39 caliber which was ok in the cold war but dossent give enough range in modern war against peer to peer or Near peer to peer, it should be 52 caliber. 4. Its crew is way too large compared to SPG or Truck mounted or MLRS. 5. Its manually loaded which slowes the fire rate down 6. Even though its able to be airlifted even the US can't airlift it after every firemission. 7. Even in Marine and Airborne units there are better options as this one wouldent survive. 8. And an M982 Excalibur cost around 100000 $ a piece and even PGM fuzes cost around 10000 $ but then you don't get the extra range so with a 52 caliber gun and the use of PGM fuzes you get the same range and pinpoint accuracy for 1/10 of the cost pr shell . So as nice as it is there are a lot of better options (Survival, Range, Costeffectivness, redeployment, RPM, smaller crews, Protection). With multidomain (no fog of war), drones, counter battery fire, precision guide missile fires, higher operational tempo, loitering ammo etc... that thing is a death trap and should be retired just like all other towed and/Or 39 caliber weapons our enemies have us outranged and outgunned. 👎

Did they just use the german map before unification? LOL

NEED THIS PHILLIPPINES ARMY , 1000 UNIT NEED

Atmos 2000 SPG is better than towed/air-Lifted M777 howitzer which cost around 4 million USD per unit while the Atmos 2000 SPG is approximately 3.5 million USD. In modern battlefield, mobile artillery system with extreme firepower and mobility excels the most.

germany gave ukraine Panzerhaubitze 2000s and no m777 and why is Germany shown with the ddr at 0:23?

Did you really just show a map of divided Germany? What exactly are you trying to say there?

Metal rain brings the pain!

Awesome

How many rounds can it sustain before the barrel requires to be reamed out?

Looks like bofors 77 a bit

So… it can “hit a target with a CEP of 16ft”. This means “hit input co-ordinates with a CEP of 16ft”. That’s great…. but how does the operator (or system) know the target’s co-ordinates? Does this require drones (or forward artillery observers) with super-accurate GPS - that can also calculate the exact co-ordinates of the drone/observer (wobbling/moving) but also calculate the drone-target distance very accurately, and the position of the target relative to the drone…. And transmit all this back to the M777 control in real time. Oh, and did I see the guy yanking the fire-cord really hard, causing the M777 to move slightly as it fired?

Definitely not 39 caliber. That’s only .39 of an inch. 155mm roughly equates to a diameter of 6 inches.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but Alaska is not Canada

while russia are firing dumb bombs and are just firing it a random. the M777 uses GPS and guided smart bombs

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

Just say in pounds we’re not on metrics here .. ugh kilograms lol

Max range 25 miles. Then a minute in says 24km. Figure it out.

Seems expensive for what it does

Holy shit. What map of Germany are you showing? Are you still in the 80s?😂

good weapon but not for Ukraine they need mobile artillery after they shoot they need to scoot

the age old wunderwaffe syndrome 1. with "traditional" optical orientation method it is just an other gun like the thousands which russians have 2. titanium aluminium and all that stuff tottaly useless and pricey weakpoints for ukrainians as they want to abuse it not airlift 3. 1/3 of them at any given time is out of service confessed by ukraine (probably a lot more) because the overengineered wunderwaffes built for provincial wars, not an all out meat grinding attrition...

A .39 round can go 25 miles? Call me impressed.

INDIA has developed more advanced Artillery guns named DHANUSH and ATAGS.....of which ATAGS has set an world record by firing a projectile at 48km distance. Both Guns cost way less than similar western systems. Armenia recently ordered Truck mounted Dhanush guns. India also ordered 145 units of M777 towed howitzers.

Thank God that Howitzer are ilegal to own.

Excalibur makes it better 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Junk, requires, too many personel to operate, too slow to make ready to fire, to make ready for towing.. It is basically old techology...Just look polish crab or french ceasor guns. They are the up to date artilary systems...

AI still needs to learn how to correctly pronounce words. Still some work to be done around the edges. Lmao

US military equipment is not measured in kilometers nor meters. Lost all credibility.

M777. Howtizer is Failed in ukraine battle field with Putin, small drone destroying million dollars Of USA toys. When M777 howitzer is maximum fire , its unable to work , we saw in ukraine battle field.

Killed by a $20,000 drone…

*7 7 7*

ATAGS is much more powerful than M777

This feels very expensive for a howitzer, like most american weapons, its very expensive and only good against inferior technology military

I hate Wars But this toy is nothing infornt of Russian Artillery.

This video could have been half as long if it didn’t repeat the same specs in both imperial and metric. 😂

First comment 👍🏻

They had to say US division.

lose in ukraine lol

Ya but Russia are destroying them as soon as they arrive Russia has the most advanced weapons

Why do I have to pay for this while late on rent?

The robot reading this is an obtuse 5-year-old.

The title of your video makes no sense.

It costs the russians only 100 bucks to destroy it😁👊🆒️👍😁
