Task & Purpose

20 күн бұрын

The US Army is in a race to develop next generation artillery platforms and munitions. This is the result of a classified creatively named “tactical fires study” that was conducted over the past two years aimed at completely transforming field artillery.

The study was based on detailed observations made of the war in Ukraine, where artillery has accounted for more than 70% of the casualties. This report has not been released to the public yet….But I was able to do some defense detective work. I pieced together a lot of what the plan is based on comments we’ll hear from the army brass, and by looking at where the resources are being invested and divested.

Many years ago, I watched a video of an Archer (?) firing six rounds in rapid succession. Each round was fired at a different trajectory, timed so that all six rounds hit the target simultaneously. I like to think the result was what Armageddon would look like. Truly impressive. The crew never left the vehicle and the evolution took about two minutes from stopping to skedaddling.

Even with older stuff you can do things like that in a way, but that requires a gun battery firing at the same time, which we did a lot of. 12 x 122mm or even 18x 122mm going at once is probably not a fun experience. And ready to fire time was like 3minutes from stopping WITHOUT computers.

After Pershing ended, the artillery had no really long range systems. In the early 2000s, MLRS came into its own. Now we have ATACMS and PrSM. We are continuing to reach for longer ranges and greater impact. The battlefield in Ukraine shows us that cannons will always be needed ant that artillery continues to reign.

Note, a Finnish general recently commented on the resurgent role of good old fashioned "dumb" artillery. Artillery fire support was so important in Vietnam. Going back to WW2, the German army had great respect for the US Army Artillery. Now in Ukraine it emerges once again as the most effective battlefield component. But as you point out, the fixed place fire support base concept, along with that of towed artillery, is dead,. With counter-battery fire delays shortening, the ability to shoot and scoot in under 180 seconds is paramount. I just wanted to say that you, Chris Cappy, produce the most informative and interesting material on KZfaq. You are also very funny. I get a real kick out of your jokes, even the groaners. Thank you for your fine work.

As a Geman Bundeswehr Veteran (not Artillery but Gebirgsjägerbrigade 23) and following the Ukraine Conflict closely i find it more and more interesting how back in the mid 2000s we had strict Courses and even Excercises regarding both Trench Warfare and Artillery with it. And back then we all laughed about it, joking "That's World War I Stuff, why would that be important nowadays?" Fast Forward to the current Ukraine War, watching tons of Footage, talking to Veterans both from Germany and other European Countries about it: "Oh...." So i'm happy we learned all about that kind of Warfare in the Bundeswehr in Hindsight. Seems like both Artillery and Trench Warfare together have become more and more important in Modern Warfare Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps

Hold up. To be fair the Ukraine war is not indicative of a war with NATO or America. Why? The chances are a war would be like how it was during the first year. America has capabilities where Ukraine did not. Remember the lightning counter offensive UKraine did in the beginning? A war would be closer to that. Only reason why Ukraine stopped was due to having no supplies. Sitting back during the winter was the worse thing they did. America would also go around the defensive lines. Ukraine cannot. No Navy for amphibious assaults. No paratroopers. While America has it all, and doesn't care about country borders. It can strike Russia from basically anywhere. Lastly and most importantly. NATO has AIR POWER, and the ability to do SEAD. America can at least suppress corridors or sectors for air power to go into an area, and wipe out any artillery. And that is the thing. Artillery is a sitting duck to an enemy with air power. With that said artillery is important. I just think saying this style war is actually what all wars will be like is folly. Russias lack of SEAD is a huge issue. They don't have fifth gen fighters that can get close enough into enemy air defense gaps to destroy primary targets.

More like towed artillery toasts this crap. All this gimmick crap with it special reloading systems and ability to move quickly hasn’t helped at all in Ukraine. 1 gimmick gun that fires 1 super high tech shell which gets jammed by a Russian truck with a radio is worthless compared to the abundance of pack artillery. Every gimmick shell is over expensive garbage that cannot do the job of a basic 152mm from 1954. Every one of these systems is outgunned, and outdated by guns from World War II. The ability to lay down constant fire is more important. The ability to move quickly from fire is a tactic to merely reduce the issue of Russian superiority. Instead of learning basic reality the west has given up and convinced itself the way forward is focus on redundant tactics rather than fix the real issue of firepower. Russia doesn’t need to focus on gimmicks it just needs to put more shells down range. Any enemy gun is quickly silenced by overwhelming fire and a constant barrage is made on the front. Firing a single round every 15-30 minutes will not do anything when Russia can fire 20-30 or 40.

It’s funny you should mention it, but historically middle children are the ones that join the military. I don’t know about now, but for sure traditionally in European cultures from the late 1800s and back (especially in wealthy families) that’s how it was. The eldest son inherited the estate and it’s businesses so he often learned business and management skills. The middle son would join the military because they were expendable, but also because if he survived he could earn himself property and titles and also potentially increase the whole families prestige all with little risking the families future lineage or wealth. The 3rd son was often encouraged to join the clergy. He was a 2nd backup, meant to be kept some what safe, but if he never had kids it wasn’t a problem (but a lot of clergy still had kids). It was mostly because the clergy was so tied into the politics of nations back then. It gave a way for the family to easily insert a representative into the political sphere. Again with no risk to the family.

Look at the Swedish Bandkanon, which they phased out completely by 2003. It was a tank carriage with a 155 mm artillery gun with a auto-loader (15 rounds in 45 seconds). Talk about shoot 'n scoot. The BAE Bofors Archer was the replacement for this. It is even-more capable than the Bandkanon. It is based on a Volvo mining truck chassis. It can go just about anywhere that a tank can go. The HEER rounds for it can go somewhere beyond 40 km in range; they have a gas generator on the back of the shell which improves the aerodynamics after firing, for lower drag and longer range. And those aren't even fin-stabilized; the fin-stabilized M982 Excalibur rounds can reach about 50 km. The Ukrainian units, which received Archer batteries, love them.

I fear your comment is going to turn into a reality if the USA continues to build its debit at current rate of one trillion a quarter. The economy will collapse on itself leaving no funding for new equipment in the military as funds get diverted to debit repayments. I have seen financial costing on the Ford aircraft carrier where they talk about costs of 13 billion when launch cost was 17.4 billion with over runs and 23 billion when commissioned into service. Sounded expensive but further reading showed the cost was going to be close to 55 billion once the cost of the interest payments on the treasury notes sold to get the funding to build the carrier are added in over the 30 years life of the treasury notes. I don’t care how rich the USA is in theory I do not think any country can keep this defence spending level up.

Towed artillery is a statement of how well the US conducts combat in the past. By dominating all sides of combat, artillery can be stationary and we have done it for years. Towed artillery does has its place. There will always be adversaries that lack the ability to strike at a distant weapon platform. If anything, the Ukraine-Russia war is a wake-up call. So towed artillery will have to share the pummeling with very mobile cannon cousins.
@Jugement
@Jugement 17 күн бұрын
It's not towed artillery that truck based self-propelled aims to replace, but armored self-propelled The US used to favor armor against counter-fire, but the success of the CEASAR platform in Ukraine proved that mobility was the superior option So these will basically just replace the PALADIN

Towed artillery is very important in this war as it's easier to hide and protect in special trenches, it's easier to repair and is cheaper. Wheeled artillery usually is not well armoured and requires soldiers to be outside for firing and that makes them extremely vulnerable to drones, cluster munitions. Veterans say that PZH2000 is very well protected, automated and reliable compared to most other tracked guns , including sustaining multiple Lancet drone strikes.

Mid to Late they had enough SMGs to equip that they looooooved close quarters battles where german MGs were less useful, thats why they did so many infantry charges, right after a heavy artilery bombardment.

The mention of artillery crews being pressed into service as infantry reminds me of one of my uni lecturers' stories of being in the Royal Artillery during the Aden Emergency in the 1960s. He told us about going on patrols, often led by young artillery officers with little infantry training beyond the basics they learned at Sandhurst. He described the experience as hair-raising, but said that it improved once line infantry officers and NCOs were attached to their strength for those patrols.

I mostly did roving patrols in the mountains. In Iraq 2003, I drove the Paladin from Kuwait to Baghdad which took 2 weeks never firing a round from the Paladin once myself. After that I was back doing patrols because you don't use Artillery in a city. The guys who replaced us never touched the Paladins after we left. I did more Infantry in my 3 years as Artillery than anything else. So when my first contract was up I switched to 11B.

And for an emergency, it's Hunter-Killer-capable to eliminate line-of-sight threats in direct fire. Germany is planning to equip three battalions of it's medium forces artillery with this beast.

Great video. Do you think prepared, underground artillery bases might be something we see eventually? Not in a fluid front but maybe prepared defensive positions near borders? I imagine an underground collection of tunnels and firing openings. A wheeled or tracked artillery piece would go to one of the openings, fire a few rounds, then go back down the tunnel to another opening while the opening is closed. If the base spreads over a few miles, it would be hard for drones to keep all openings covered. Of course you could have a massive EW package on the base too and smaller trench systems to give ground cover. Thoughts?
