The US is planning to focus on unmanned artillery through the experience of war in Ukraine - the media
The war in Ukraine shows that the effectiveness of the art plants depends not only on the range of firing or destructive shells, but also on mobility. Fight-toe tactics can save the lives of fighters from destroying the enemy. Therefore, the US Army raises whether the towing artillery will be a viable option in the future. Its disadvantage is a long time to deploy.
"10 or 15-minute time will not work against a good enemy," said General James Rayini, chairman of the Command of Prospective Development of US Army Army Command Army Command. The Russian-Ukrainian War also demonstrates that the number of advanced systems for combating artillery is growing and spreading. Therefore, the discussion about the expediency of using towed artillery is ongoing. In addition to the means of the defeat, counter-backers, drones-Kamikadze and other systems develop.
Western countries have been experimented with a gun on the base of the tank or other armored chassis since the Second World War, including PZH 2000, Krab. France created the Caesar SAU based on a truck to be both mobile and deadly. However, an integral advantage of the ghound howitzers is the lower cost of operation and more convenient for landing parts. However, the publication states that the US considers the variant of robotic artillery, so as not to risk the life of artillerymen.
They should be smaller, lighter and more economical than people governed. We continue to consider the wheel and robotic solutions for the artillery that is towed, " - continued General Rainy. The fighting in Ukraine is another important indicator: artillery and counter -backer struggle will remain a key weapon in future military conflicts. The artillery will become more deadly and more.
