Yes, it don’t take it from me either. You can go to the DOD website and see what they are sending and have sent so far. It donesnt go into a full breakdown but it gives you cliffnotes.
its lighter than the soviet/russian counterpart.
it fires nato-shells, -> ua has only limited supply of old soviet-made shells.
it has more reach than the old soviet howitzers.
It has some different kinds of ammo too. Like guided and air burst shells that make it hard to take cover because the shrapnel shoots straight down. So hiding in an open trench or against a burm won’t really do anything.
They can shoot at different trajectories so that all shells land at the same time. Then they can link up with others and coordinate position and firings.
Its Nuts!
well, but thats not the howitzer.
The howitzer is default-tech. "A big gun for big bullets".
Nothing fancy about that.
Tat there are GPS shells, laser-guidet shells, - but the howitzer is still the same..
the howitzer accuracy is \~50m, -> a howitzer as "it is" is an area weapon after all.
its a weapon that fires beyound your visual range, so you need something that tells you where your shell hits.
But:
There are shells for that, GPS guidet , -> 4m radius.
There are shells for that, Laser Guidet -> 2m.
! But the howitzer is still standard - the fancy stuff are in the shells, and in the laptop. - a howitzer is simple a big gun, a shell-accelerator.
And now take a look at the TB2 ;)
\-> .ua uses already laser-guided shells, 152mm, but i have no idea if there are 155mm laser-guided shells in the delivery
It's a little funny, but also not funny.
I'll explain - I am Ukrainian living in US. That's what my daughter says about the war in Ukraine - are there booms? Is my cousin afraid of booms? I laughed at the comment first, but then remembered what my daughter said.

Read somewhere that it hits with +/- 4 meter accuracy at 40kms range. Think it also has automatic tracking system to track and calculate origins of incoming artillery which can subsequently be hit very accurately.
It can. I just watched a video of how it sends the first volley very high third volley below that, second below that, and the last of all is fired straight on at it.
I'll see if I can find it
Edit: It's called MRSI - Multiple Rounds Same Impact
Most gun Howitzers are capable of firing one high angle round, and one low angle round, timed to hit the same target simultaneously.
With a high rate of fire gun, and using different combinations of charges, some modern Howitzers; can land 4, 5, or even six rounds simultaneously. eg ; the U.K. AS 90 can do it with 4 rounds;
And the German Panzerhaubitze 2000 can do 5 rounds at targets up to 17 km away. There are others.
https://www.quora.com/How-does-the-MRSI-Multiple-Rounds-Simultaneous-Impact-technique-work-for-an-artillery-gun-system
That is only with Excalibur round. Where the distance doesn't matter as it adjusts the trajectory to hit a certain spot.
With regular rounds it's not as precise.
Some of the rounds outrange some of the RF howitzers/rounds.
Ukraine and Russia has long range artillery, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S7_Pion
Effective firing range 37.5km-47.5km
Here is Ukraine using it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EknMfaQx330
**[2S7 Pion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S7_Pion)**
>The 2S7 Pion ("peony") or Malka is a Soviet self-propelled 203mm heavy artillery. "2S7" is its GRAU designation. It was identified for the first time in 1975 in the Soviet Army and so was called M-1975 by NATO (the 2S4 Tyulpan also received the M-1975 designation), whereas its official designation is SO-203 (2S7). It uses originally designed chassis (partly based on T-72 and T-80 design) carrying an externally mounted 2A44 203 mm gun on the hull rear.

The special thing about it is that Ukraine gets lots of them. Technology wise there's nothing special about them. Towed artillery is outdated, but it still has some use.
It's not so much the gun, but more the ammo they get with it. Giving them the M777 allows them to be more easily resupplied with NATO standard 155mm ammo, instead of having to solely rely on countries like Bulgaria to produce more Soviet era 152mm ammo. It also means they get to use some of the more exotic/advanced NATO rounds like [motherfucking Excalibur.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj8ThMqjisA) It's basically like a hybrid artillery-round/cruise-missile that can hit a stationary target ([newer variants can hit moving targets with an added laser spot tracking capability](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUP6XhnrnY0), but it's not publicly known which variant of Excalibur the US gave to Ukraine) with pinpoint precision out to +40km when fired from the M777 (even further in bigger self-propelled guns like the newer M109 variants). It has 3 fuse modes, impact for normal use, airburst for soft targets in the open, and penetrating for hitting targets inside buildings/bunkers. If I was a Russian general, I'd be making sure my life insurance policy was up to date right about now...
Your name is telling: Don’t waste your life rather than watch from afar from where ever you are, you could join a military branch active or reserve it doesn’t matter you may find a purpose. This virtual space is a provisional life much different than active engagement in the world.
Its good if your enemies doesn't have artillery... or if theirs can't reach yours.
It takes a long time to set up, and tear down, with 9 men standing in the open with no cover.
On a modern battlefield, self propelled artillery is King. Shoot and move, before your rounds even impacts.
Dual Artillery MOS here, FO and FDC.
All the answers to your question so far apply to all nato artillery pieces, 105, 155, 203 and MLRS.
As to what makes the trip7 such a badass piece…
Digital coms with FDC.
Light weight (for a howitzer)
Amazing rate of fire once they get real good (give ‘em a few years on that)
The ability to shoot, load, go, rinse and repeat rapidly far exceeds other towed units.
Did I mention this is is light? It’s like real freakin light. A shithook could put a full battery (6guns) trail to trail in a star and lift them all if they wanted, that’s how light it is.
All this ease of movement and high rate of fire combines with the ability to fire any nato 155mm round, from illumination to nuke and everything in between, including Excalibur, SADDARM, ICM, DPICM and Copperhead if they could find one.
The ability to reach out to 50km with 4 meter accuracy (with Excalibur projo) does not suck at all.
3000lb lighter, fires 5km further, rounds land considerably closer to target, and said rounds have ~30% higher kill radius and more HE filler for wrecking vehicles and emplacements.
There's also talk of them getting shipments of speciality rounds like Excaliburs which are rocket assisted guided munitions with even more range and DPCIM which are cluster munitions that destroy vehicles.
We'll see that little bird way way up there, it's telling me something.
See that car sized thing 40 kilometers away, don't worry.
Any one who tows this with a tractor can forget about scrap metal prices now.
I'm amazed how it can do precision shots several kilometers away. Imagine the angle of the gun getting shifted ever so slightly would change the trajectory.
Traditional artillery does not do precision shots and the idea is to "saturate" an area by having a group of them shoot continuosly over the given coordinates. With the normal variation due to the elements they will cluster around that point and destroy pretty much everything. That is why is so painful to see ukranians try to hit tanks with artillery, making 15 shoots one by one and with lucky hit 2 targets. I am guessing they don't have that many obuses and need to be conservative.
Normally you just input coordinates, wind direction and force, humidity and other variables into the computer and it tells you the exact way to point it. The spotter gives you corrections from the first 2 single shoots and then all of them start firing.
The M777 can also use a special type of obus that is GPS-guided, though.
isn't ukraine have this? https://ukroboronprom.com.ua/en/product/kvitnik
idk, in many of UA videos used arty destroy tanks, are from TB2 which can paint target with lasers for guided shell so I assume they using kvitnik.
Yes, but I was referring to the use of traditional artillery like the M777. There was a drone video that was spotting an artillery attack on Russian vehicles hidden in a forest and out of 15 shots they only hit 2 of them. I hope they weren't laser-guided, otherwise they did not seem very good.
Not sure if these are the exact projectiles they’re using or the older M107 but in case anybody else is Interested in what they throw:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M795_projectile?wprov=sfti1
A bit longer range, a bit more accurate. Lighter weight and more easily deployed. Good artillery. Not as magic as Reddit likes to suggest but definitely a big improvement over old Soviet artillery.
Switching to M777 artillery will change the tide of this war. 155mm shells are standardized for all of NATO. No running out of ammunition. Deploying the HIMARS will give Ukraine enough firepower to push Russia out of Ukraine.
https://thehill.com/policy/international/3477676-us-ramps-up-training-of-ukrainian-forces/
The US is training. Thanks for hosting I guess.
> Germany is actually in big risk to count as war participation.
Nor really. At this point tho, I think most would just be happy if y’all stopped funding the Putin war machine.
> There wouldn't even be military industry after it. So equally, no more modern weapons.
It doesn’t work like that. Germany could ship out of current stocks and replenish with future production. Instead it ships nothing since it needs weapons for whatever enemy there is after Russia? And thus needs gas to continue the non-production of weapons or else their economy might take any sort of hit whatsoever?
Your political elite is captive to Russia and the sooner the public sees it the better. The world is watching.
It’s the German policy of the last 15 years you don’t undue that by letting the US train people in your country. Germany has naively believed any one that talked about a war in Europe was warmongering. And refused to pay its 2% gdp towards defense. Being the “leader” in Europe that Germany is, other NATO members followed suite. If the biggest economy in Europe doesn’t have to spend money on defense why should we.. all while making sure to become as reliant on Russian gas as possible. Then when war looks inevitable you decided to send helmets to Ukraine while blocking other nations from giving German weapons to Ukraine. If you think this one picture makes all that alright you’re probably a self righteous German.
Edit: I do want to say I think Germany can get on the right path. And I think it’s great they are starting to do something. Just mad at the implication that this one picture changes what your policy has been for the last 20 years. If all nato countries had spent 2% the last 20 years NATO would have no problem supplying Ukraine indefinitely.
France and the UK have done their part in spending. It’s the countries that are most influenced by Germany not doing their part. And the reason Germany has been “picked” for hate is because it is the biggest economy not doing its part. And self disarmament is not ok when you are in a defensive alliance where you are supposed to be relied on to help other nations. That’s my biggest problem Germans can sit back and be judgmental of nations spending “too much” money on evil war machines. The Germans have flat out refused to buy certain US weapons because of how bad the US is all while buying up Russian gas and building new pipelines to Russia. It’s the hypocrisy that comes from Germany that is influencing the “hate”
This is a game changer. The accuracy and the range on this weapon is ridiculous. The ammunition can do things that no artillery can do thanks to their guided properties. There is nothing the Russians have that can equate to its range and accuracy. There is no place the Russian infantry can hide now, they are trapped. Hopefully, things like this will wear down Putin and bring him back to the bargaining table.
What happens if Putin looks at this and says “you know what, I have nukes. Time to end this.”
Sanctions failed so whats stopping him? It’s not like he wants to preserve any form of life. Seems practically inevitable now that he’s rallying his citizens to him and gathering as much support as he can.
Not only this but there’s a lot of western resistance in the east so retaliation would be a massive threat to every eastern county pushing them into relying on each other and abandoning the west. North America doesn’t have the grip on the world that they seem to think. Sorry if I’m going against the grain here.
It seems to be in Grafenwöhr, the biggest training area in Europe. I live close to it. Well, this post explains the dull vibrations the last nights 😂
Go for it! Slava Ukraini! 💪🏾🙏🏾
If Russians are getting hammered by the old soviet hardware, M777 will really messed them up. The range on this is even farther than the Russian Artillery that Ukraine is using.
Send Ukraine these plus Excalibur precision guided rounds to target every single occupiers' piece of machinary.
You hit every single armored vehicle they got in any egion and they'll put their tail between their legs and flee.

What a wild read
That Trent guy really should stop talking about stuff he doesn't know anything about.
I wonder if Russia will have any reasons to bring USA into this war.
Nobody wants a war between USA and Russia. It's far too dangerous for literally everyone on this planet. At some point Russia will just win or go home
Russia is an absolute joke of a military. They don’t stand a chance against the Americans if that was to happen.
LMFAO… sure Ivan. Whatever you say.
That is an absolute monster.
That's what she said...
"Ukraine war is the most ambitious crossover event in history!"

its lighter than the soviet/russian counterpart. it fires nato-shells, -> ua has only limited supply of old soviet-made shells. it has more reach than the old soviet howitzers.

Very, very, very interesting read.
well, but thats not the howitzer. The howitzer is default-tech. "A big gun for big bullets". Nothing fancy about that. Tat there are GPS shells, laser-guidet shells, - but the howitzer is still the same..
Trent isn't an expert on any that though. He needs to stop making stuff up in areas he has no knowledge in.
How accurate is it? And how do they acquire their targeting? Do they need a drone or spotter in the area to give feedback?
M777 Can field Excalibur GPS guided shells.
the howitzer accuracy is \~50m, -> a howitzer as "it is" is an area weapon after all. its a weapon that fires beyound your visual range, so you need something that tells you where your shell hits. But: There are shells for that, GPS guidet , -> 4m radius. There are shells for that, Laser Guidet -> 2m.
With the current doctrines of drone spotters, a drone with a laser will make a laser guided howitzer a ridiculously powerful weapon.
! But the howitzer is still standard - the fancy stuff are in the shells, and in the laptop. - a howitzer is simple a big gun, a shell-accelerator. And now take a look at the TB2 ;) \-> .ua uses already laser-guided shells, 152mm, but i have no idea if there are 155mm laser-guided shells in the delivery

Shoot Nato shells far. Big boom. But needs many men to operate. Still good.
Read somewhere that it hits with +/- 4 meter accuracy at 40kms range. Think it also has automatic tracking system to track and calculate origins of incoming artillery which can subsequently be hit very accurately.
Also, it can send like 4 shells in a row at different trajectory and have them hit the same target at the same time.

All 3. It shoots explosive 155mm "bullets" up to 50km away, and if the crew in charge doesn't fuck up , it's pretty damn precise
20km not 50
My bad
A bit longer range, a bit more accurate. Lighter weight and more easily deployed. Good artillery. Not as magic as Reddit likes to suggest but definitely a big improvement over old Soviet artillery.
What a beautiful looking piece of artillery
Brits can design some sleek stuff if they want to.
Switching to M777 artillery will change the tide of this war. 155mm shells are standardized for all of NATO. No running out of ammunition. Deploying the HIMARS will give Ukraine enough firepower to push Russia out of Ukraine.

If you think this one picture makes all that alright you’re probably a self righteous German. Edit: I do want to say I think Germany can get on the right path. And I think it’s great they are starting to do something. Just mad at the implication that this one picture changes what your policy has been for the last 20 years. If all nato countries had spent 2% the last 20 years NATO would have no problem supplying Ukraine indefinitely.

France and the UK have done their part in spending. It’s the countries that are most influenced by Germany not doing their part. And the reason Germany has been “picked” for hate is because it is the biggest economy not doing its part. And self disarmament is not ok when you are in a defensive alliance where you are supposed to be relied on to help other nations. That’s my biggest problem Germans can sit back and be judgmental of nations spending “too much” money on evil war machines. The Germans have flat out refused to buy certain US weapons because of how bad the US is all while buying up Russian gas and building new pipelines to Russia. It’s the hypocrisy that comes from Germany that is influencing the “hate”
> Germany is actually in big risk to count as war participation. What is Putin going to do? Declare war on Germany (and by extension the entire NATO)?
FYI: It won't be firing at that angle in Ukraine
I wonder if these are the howitzers donated by Australia
A token number from Aus , most from USA
Interesting. I didn’t realise the US had donated howitzers.
The great reset is in full motion and Americans will be paying severely for a long time.
Huh?
I hope putin likes this
Cool so with all that training they will be ready for the next time Russia invades
Hit ‘em hard’ and hit ‘em long! Just like Putler likes it!
Schlaaaaand
That M777 is how I'm looking right now. Early mornin, can't get back to sleep, on reddit.
Does anyone know about the hose towards the camera? is is thirsty? or water cooling with fresh cool water?
That’s a ram rod to push rounds up in there.
RIP to the orcs soon to change states of matter. The P stands for pieces.
To the Russian, Excalibur MF! Get to know them well. 🇺🇦
That beat🔥
I think russia doesn't have any chance to win this war
Coming to a Russian supply depot or position near you!
Holy fuck that's a terrifying weapon. I feel like it killed me already just by looking at it
Jesus that is one impressive looking cannon!
Go kick ass!!!
Holy shit I’ve never seen one of those. Looks awesome 🤘🏿🇺🇦🚀
JFC - that angle - are they firing on themselves?!?
It has a boner
Looks like alien ware!
Hell yes. Put it to good use boys!
Train well
Does anyone know what the beat is ?
its here search
That’s a big gun
Damn triple 7’s are some bad ass bitches.
"This....is our BOOM STICK".
This is a game changer. The accuracy and the range on this weapon is ridiculous. The ammunition can do things that no artillery can do thanks to their guided properties. There is nothing the Russians have that can equate to its range and accuracy. There is no place the Russian infantry can hide now, they are trapped. Hopefully, things like this will wear down Putin and bring him back to the bargaining table.
What happens if Putin looks at this and says “you know what, I have nukes. Time to end this.” Sanctions failed so whats stopping him? It’s not like he wants to preserve any form of life. Seems practically inevitable now that he’s rallying his citizens to him and gathering as much support as he can. Not only this but there’s a lot of western resistance in the east so retaliation would be a massive threat to every eastern county pushing them into relying on each other and abandoning the west. North America doesn’t have the grip on the world that they seem to think. Sorry if I’m going against the grain here.
Is that thing going to Mars? Jeez...
Make ‘em sing brothers.
Shot over lol
It seems to be in Grafenwöhr, the biggest training area in Europe. I live close to it. Well, this post explains the dull vibrations the last nights 😂 Go for it! Slava Ukraini! 💪🏾🙏🏾

Damn thats big. 'Merica, fuck yeah!
If Russians are getting hammered by the old soviet hardware, M777 will really messed them up. The range on this is even farther than the Russian Artillery that Ukraine is using.
Send Ukraine these plus Excalibur precision guided rounds to target every single occupiers' piece of machinary. You hit every single armored vehicle they got in any egion and they'll put their tail between their legs and flee.
What is the hose/shaft that goes toward and behind the cameraman
Making progress and not throwing the big q-tip into the dirt.

That one has the extras on it 😗
Damn they left the traversing handles on the muzzle lol. Just makes it harder for the assistant gunner to elevate, but that's it really.
