Украинский экипаж M777 произвел 6 выстрелов по русским

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February of 2022, the United States has provided the embattled nation with some 126 lightweight M777 Howitzers, along with more than 226,000 rounds of ammunition for these 155mm cannons. These weapon systems may look an awful lot like artillery found throughout history and all over the world, including the big guns leveraged by Russia’s invading forces. Artillery warfare isn’t just about putting rounds on target. To do it effectively, teams must be able to quickly reposition after firing to avoid being located and engaged by counter-artillery batteries. And as any warfighter will tell you, weight dictates a great deal of mobility. And that’s why the M777, which weighs in at a tenth of the weight of the 2S7 at just 9,300 pounds, maybe the best pound-for-pound artillery system on the planet. Throughout both World Wars, artillery proved so devastating to enemy troops that it earned the moniker, the “King of Battle,” and the past seven months of fighting in Ukraine have proven the high-caliber monarch’s reign is far from over. Russia, long aware that its military would struggle to gain or maintain air superiority against a NATO-level opponent, has built its warfighting doctrine around the concept of overwhelming fire from artillery and heavy armor. In fact, one could argue that Russia even sees its Air Force as little more than airborne artillery.
