The Weapon That Can Shred Any Tank to Pieces

five three three eight point two one earlier we were only talking about the military equipment transfer such as high Mars and today we can already see how the military destroy the enemy with the most accurate shots and it is the m982x caliber an ultra precise artillery shell that helps achieve this the Excalibur was adopted by the US Army in the mid 2000s and tried out in combat in Iraq in 2007 even then it proved to be a very powerful weapon you can't hide from and since then it has got a lot of new features this projectile designed to fire from the NATO cannons with a diameter of 155 millimeters was created as a long-range Ultra precise ammunition that can fly 60 kilometers for a better understanding usually the range of artillery shots does not exceed 12 kilometers such miraculous turns are achieved by the folding Wings in front of the projectile which allows the Excalibur to not only Escape the shock wave but also to glide through the air moreover it even got its own engine installed which further increased the firing range in addition thanks to the built-in GPS navigator that corrects the projectile Right In Flight the Excalibur is able to hit a target with a diameter of no more than 5 meters not every rocket can boast about such accuracy for comparison standard projectiles can hit a target with a diameter of about 200 of 300 meters when firing at medium ranges this way you might not only miss the enemy but also hit your own people that is why the Excalibur has gained considerable popularity in the military industry and it is not surprising that people would try to develop something similar to such a cool piece of technology China for example boasted over and over again about their gp155 but is it really that good it is claimed that the gp155 guided projectile is capable of hitting targets at the highest ranges but in fact it turned out to be only 20 kilometers its accuracy is also lower although it is still decent up to 10 meters however the weight of the Warhead is only 20 kilograms in comparison to 22 kilograms for the Excalibur the appearance of the ammunition can also be considered as an argument in favor of the theory that Russia helped China make the projectile by transferring their developments to China speaking of which the Russian ammunition krasnopel is also guided but in many ways inferior to the American one its characteristics are similar to the Chinese projectile 20 kilograms explosives but it still has the same 20 kilometers of range which can't even be compared to the Excalibur Because by the time the enemy takes the firing position the Excalibur will have time to destroy them Bryce from a much greater distance however 2 Fair the use of the latest technology has made the Excalibur extremely expensive for example depending on the modification one ammunition can cost from 70 to 230 000 which is much higher than the price of any analogues nevertheless the high cost pays off with the accuracy of the shells and their range with the arrival of the excaliburs in Ukraine the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to more accurately and more often hit the targets that are important to the Invaders command posts ammunition Depots and so on but the question remains what do you shoot them with don't worry we have the answer to this question Sweden has already handed over to Ukraine the FH 77bw Archer self-propelled Howitzer which happens to use such shells this is great news because as we see countries from all over the world are supplying High equality weapons more and more often Archer is a unique self-propelled gun system with a huge 155 millimeter cannon that destroys everyone and everything the legendary car company Volvo worked hard to create this beauty and installed a30d 6x6 armored chassis on it there is not a single Howitzer as technological as this one the archer deploys in a combat position in just 30 seconds set out of action just as quickly has an automatic loader automated control processors and a bunch of other cool things the artillery unit is comprised of a hefty 155 millimeter FH 77b Howitzer this is the Archer's real trump card as its maximum rate of fire reaches 9 rounds per minute but the coolest thing is that it can use the rapid fire system which allows for a series of shots to be fired in a row oh and with each shot the angle of the barrel changes in such a way that six shells hit the target simultaneously this is a real Heavenly punishment that leaves no chance to survive even for armored bunkers moreover while the shells reach the target the Archer will already have time to set out of action and go away to a safe place the Archer has a maximum range of 30 kilometers with conventional projectiles and 60 kilometers with a brand new Excalibur guided shells as a result you get a very powerful long-range weapon capable of Smashing any equipment and fortified positions of the enemy to Pieces but of course Sweden is not the only one who decided to provide Ukraine with such weapons because just this week France announced a new Aid package for Ukraine which includes the most advanced weapons that would change the course of the war among the most powerful Radars core all anti-aircraft systems and anti-tank missiles it is the 155 millimeter Caesar self-propelled Howitzer that really stands out it is a huge long-range missile and Ultra precise artillery system equipped with the best technology for devastating blows so why is Caesar so good first of all because of its huge gun it carries an upgraded version of the 155 millimeter trf1 which is one of the best toad howitzers it uses a wide variety of projectiles including high explosive fragmentation rocket smoke lighting and even cluster as well as bonus anti-tank guided missiles and our current Excalibur there is another Cannon capable of firing guided excaliburs the German pzh-2000 based on the legendary Leopard 2 tank its main weapon is a 155 millimeter Howitzer of a barrel length of just over 8 meters and the turret it is installed in can rotate freely unlike the one in the Caesar the gun is equipped with an automatic reload of a 60 round which ensures a very high rate of fire 12 rounds per minute which is a very good result given that charging can be manual semi-automatic and automatic besides it has four smoke grenade launchers installed on both sides of the gun which adds even more variability for both offensive and defensive purposes pzh-2000 can calculate the location of the enemy even in the dark as it has a site with a thermal imager and a Laser Rangefinder inside the Howitzer hides a high-tech control module that can automatically calculate and redirect the targets which means that no Nimble enemy reconnaissance can hide from it in terms of protection the pz h2000 is also great the hull and Target it have steel armor and it's covered with reactive armor on top so that it is protected from quite serious Frets such as a tank hit in turn the American M109 Paladin which is already in Ukraine also has something to brag about this is a modern self-propelled artillery that will leave no chance to any equipment on the battlefield and all because it still has the same 155 millimeter Howitzer as the previous two the new M109 uses some of the technology originally developed for the xm-2001 Crusader self-propelled howitzers civilians even call it a full-fledged tank because it can rotate the turret to 360 degrees but in fact it is a much more dangerous weapon this artillery system can boast about its formidable 155 millimeter Auto reloading Cannon it can fire at a maximum rate of fire of four rounds per minutes which can guarantee four destroyed enemies if the high Precision guided Excalibur is used when firing with a maximum range of up to 60 kilometers upon arriving at the firing position this system independently determines the location of enemies self-propelled guns using accurate infrared sensors and then provides data for firing the m109a7 Paladin has a short reaction and redeployment time this allows to immediately start moving after the shot which help to avoid return fire you have to agree this is a huge advantage in comparison to Conventional tanks overall the Paladin is a highly effective and very powerful artillery system it has all the necessary qualities to seize the advantage on the battlefield just like the Caesar Archer and other guns but none of this equipment would be so great without the Excalibur a projectile that can change the course of the war thanks for watching and see you soon
