- A 6x6 vehicle with a mounted Howitzer cannon is unloaded from a C-130 onto the battlefield. An uncommon sight in the military world, the Nexter CAESAR self-propelled Howitzer brings its 155-millimeter cannon power to the French Military. Its crew of 5 swiftly take their positions, ready for action.
With a deafening blast, the cannon fires, echoing across the rugged terrain. A target almost 40 kilometers away is obliterated, demonstrating CAESAR's unbridled firepower. As quickly as it arrived, it moves into a better firing position, traveling 100 kilometers per hour. It easily navigates the battlefield, showcasing its perfect combination of mobility, survivability, and firepower.
Deployed to Ukraine as part of a French aid package, CAESAR is put right in the spotlight. This test is not just about firepower; it's about proving its mettle on a global stage. As it plays a pivotal role in combating the Russian invasion, the eyes of militaries worldwide are keenly watching…

Brilliant French engineering.
Denmark donated 19 Ceasar 8x8 155mm howitzer to Ukraine all brand new and provided training as well. Next is 19 F16 fighter jets
nemlig sgu!
Yes the most expensive version with semi-autoloader, even french have not. Thx Denmark.
Thank you Denmark 🇩🇰
Is 19 like a lucky number in Denmark?
@@chrisburke624 They donated all they had. As a replacement the ordered 19 Atmos howitzer from Israel because Ceasar supossely would take longer to receive
That 8x8 Caesar is the true beast of Caesars,,,the us army should mount the m777 on a 8x8 viva la France
Why not buy a few CAESAR ? It already shoots the same ammo and combat proven and probably cheaper because there's no devloppement needed^^
On another look at the Brutus currently being tested
The Caesar (52 caliber lenght) is much better than the M777 (39 caliber lenght) because the barell lengt who improve range and accuracy.The 6x6 Caesar is designed to be air tranportable in a C130, but the 8x8 is heawyer and need a A400M .The difference between the 6x6 and the 8x8 is mostly the number of spare shells, and cabin armor, but the all new 6x6 recive a new cabin with same armor level as the 8x8...
a M777 on a truck...not so easy in fact. CAESAR is a system and now with drone and IA it can fire on a vehicle. The system CAESAR have a bigger range than the M777 and fire 6 shells by minute
@philippesoares1745 CAESAR is not made in the USA and Nexter doesn't have a partner to build them in the US so not good for US Army. But NATO ordered some of them.
The Caesar is the sucessor from both the TRF1 towed auto-mobile 155mm 39 caliber canon and the AUF1 155mm 39 caliber howitzer on AMX30 chassis and not the old models presented. France was the inventor from the 155mm long range canon in 1917 with the 155mm "Grande Puissance Filloux", who was immediatly adopted after WW1 from the US Army and progressively improved up to the 155mm "Long Tom" M1A1 and M2, and later M59, some was installed on a Sherman M4 chassis called 155mm Gun motor carriage M40. Ukraine did design they own "Caesar" called 2S22 Bohdana on ukrainian KrAZ 6322 truck, project start in 2018 but ready to use only debut 2022 justebefore the ruzzian invasion, was use during the Snake Island battle, production was launched in spring 2023
Officially, the CAESAR 6X6 is not the AuF1's replacement.
A batch of 8X8s will, since the CIFS program has been discontinued.
6x6 or 8x8 CAESAR is replacing AUF1 ( still à bit in use)
@@frednoname3714 CAESAR 6X6 is replacing the TRF1, not AuF1.
In the case of the AuF1, the replacement by CAESAR 8X8 is an intermediate solution due to the problem with the CIFS program.
Officially, however, the AuF1 should be replaced by another tracked system.
CAESAR and PzH2000 (to take a tracked equivalent) do not address the same issues.
Ukraine has been adapting well to the Western weapons 💙💛💪
Say that to the lancet drones that have taken out dozens...😂😂
@@tylerdurden4006taken out more than exists? 😂😂
Ok 😂
Well. Yes and no....
@@tylerdurden4006Russian have only lancet against the all mighty Caesar. Because Russian artillery have not enough range. 😂
The French are developping a 2nd generation Caesar, they've ordered this system for their Scorpion program and are waiting for it.
they are the best hit and run artillery system. teh Ceasar is long gone when teh shell hits on teh other side. and it has enough speed to be far away that a drone ariving 10 minutes later do not find it. that makes the survivability.
Also this gun is really accurate
was tested in the US test range who was realy impressed by the accuracy
And It's compatible with smart shells like Bonus and USa's 155 shells too
Yes, this gets overlooked so often in YT reviews: targeting system and barrel quality
France and artillery a long love story
French military at its finess
These youtube pages are my favorite. His voice is perfect for these youtube shows. thanks for all you bring to the table>
Except the way he pronounces "Chassis." I cringe every time.
The Jaguar also deserves his video ! It's for me, by far, the coolest french army véhicle for now.
now that's what I'm talking about
The CAESAR is designed with the French doctrine in mind of speed over armor. Doctrine of course largely influenced by the defeat to the Germans in 1940, and made all the more necessary with the post colonial wars that required flexibility and rapid deployment.
The good point of that is that this piece of artillery works good in Ukraine, its mobility largely reduces risk, I think only 2 were lost to loitering munitions / FPV drones, and another one was hit by a drone but in the process of repair.
Additionally, the use of a regular truck is excellent for logistical purposes, even though the artillery system in itself takes some time to produce, its vehicule is cheap and easily replacable.
The huge black spot in europe right now is the shell production which is rediculously low.
🇫🇷👍👍oui je suis d'accord avec toi, il y a aussi sont électroniques abors qui nest pas des moindres quand test habitué à tiré avec des canons beaucoup plus simples....sinon il leurs faut beaucoup +++ d'obus de 155mm pour noel 😊😊❤👍et bien-sûr beaucoup plus de précisions..et les obus aussi ...
Caesar is also rustic. That means ukranians can repair it faster.
Mobility but also capability to be airlifted, that's why France use the 6x6 and not the 8x8.
That thing must have a hell of a snap when it goes off😮
It's interesting how the wheeled platforms in Ukraine have overperformed, or simply got the better media coverage, their tracked cousins. CAESAR is a great example as is the Swedish Archer which is similar to Caesar. Both of these took the front seat to the more renowned Paladin and PzH 2000 heavy tracked self propelled howitzers..
The other, and the most recognizable example is the HIMARS rocket system that became the hero and the symbol of the Ukraine War of Independence although his tracked cousin M270 MLRS can carry twice as many GMLRS guided rockets, is better armored and can traverse a much worse terrain than the HIMARS.
One reason, and in my opinion the most important one, is the mobility. Yes, better mobility and speed, which allows the famous shoot and scoot tactics, is what contributes to wheeled platforms being more survivable on the battleground. Better armor means nothing if the counter battery fire from the 152/203mm howitzer finds you. And if you have a platform that can travel at over 100 km/h vs 70 or less for the tracked one, than this is the one you want to use..
Another benefit is of course the price. Wheeled platforms are cheaper to buy and to use.
as you rightly say, wheeled vehicles cost less to purchase and maintain, and they have other qualities, such as the ability to move quickly with minimal wear on the running gear, easier to move than machines on tracks, and it is easier to do 1000 km in a CAESAR than with an armored vehicle on a kennel which will not cope as well with traveling on the road (premature wear of the running gear and especially the tracks because of their enormous weight !!) tires also participate in ballistic protection, in Afghanistan, a French VBCI with 8 wheels hit an ied, 2 wheels destroyed but the VBCI was able to return to the base, a track, a track destroyed, it is almost impossible to repair it in a combat zone, unless you have suicidal thoughts in the event of a sniper in the zone!! LOL the tires also allow you to drive 100 km flat, a demonstration by Michelin in the USA, the technician drilled 20 or 30 mm holes in the sidewalls, the tires were still rolling flat!! these are reinforced sides!! unlike Russian tires, once punctured, they are punctured and can no longer be used!! for the mud in Winter, whether it's tires or tracks, they all get bogged down!! the tank even worse, it has a flat bottom, placed on the mud, there is a suction phenomenon, it can no longer come out, in addition, the ground clearance is lower on a tracked vehicle than on a 6x6 or a 8x8! some talk about the armor of these vehicles, and that the ARCHER crew is in the vehicle during the shots, but its armor is equivalent to that of the ARCHER 6x6, either STANAG 4569 level 2, or only against ammunition of caliber 7.62 x 39 (AK47) the 8 x 8 is barely more protected, STANAG 4569 level 3 or against 7.62 x 51! no big differences, but the ARCHER crew being locked in the cabin will not hear the incoming enemy ammunition shots (the characteristic whistle) on the other hand, being outside, we can hear what is happening around! ! for firing ranges: the Russian 152 mm carries a maximum of 22 km, the 203 mm carries a maximum of 38 km, the 155 mm carries a maximum of 42 km, or even 40 km in the event of a headwind, therefore, being at 40 km, we shoot at the Russians and the Russians will shoot at a maximum of 2 km shorter! so, in theory, if we place these guns 40 km away, they are safe from counter-battery fire, except from suicide drones or enemy planes of course!! the importance is precision, it is better to have 100 cannons that shoot far and precise than 1000 cannons that shoot short and not very precise!! LOL
What's that? Russia is pumping out 140,000 155mm Artillery Shells per month. That's more rounds than NATO will be producing every month after NATOs planned production increases in 2025.
I mean trust me, I can talk all day about how awesome the Stryker ICV is. After all I drove them. But Field Artillery is called the King of Battle for a reason. It's still the most deadly weapon on the battlefield between land powers. Nobody really wants to talk about Russia's incredible pace of munitions production every month, NATO cannot possibly hope to collectively keep up, AND ship all of that ordinance halfway around the world. Then if it even makes it to the lines, will there be any adult males left in the country to shoot it?
All good until the mud seasons come and wheeled vehicles can't operate. Then the Paladins, Krabs, PHZ2000 and M142 Himars variant are the NATO units still in play.
Just wait until those RCH155 have been made. A fully automated version of the 155mm gun from the PzH2000 mounted on a Boxer drive module. A full crew consists of 2 people: A driver and a gunner.
Wheeled (tracked Boxers are also a thing) these exceed 100km/h on the road and it is so far the only SPH which officially can fire while on the move (up to 30km/h).
Germany will supply the first 18 free of charge but I think Ukraine has ordered quite a few more.
Impressive piece of kit ,and with a well trained crew could cause serious damage , but drones are now it's worst enemy
Drones are the worst enemy of most targets on the battlefield so it's not not that unique of a situation.
You undestand the most important. These war machines are targeted by russian drones as soon as they appear on the battlefileld.
@@angeurbain6129 It's not like it's any different for equivalent Russian vehicles. As soon as they enter the battlefield they are targeted by Ukrainian drones.
I am aware of this. Drones have change the way the war is conducted. Basically these kind of war machines cannot last long on the battlefield. Western countries gave some of these cannons, but eventually most of them will be destroyed. Then what will be left in the west to replace these losses. ? The answer is not much.@@matteusvirtanen392
Currently drones aren't really a problem for CAESARS. they operate too far from the frontline for the vast majority of Russian drones to be able to reach them. And the few that remains aren't especially able to keep up with the constant fast relocation of those weapons so chasing them is nigh impossible. The only case in which a Russian drone can shoot one is if a long range drone just randomly encounter a Caesar moving around.
Fast way to get your point across on the battlefield. What a beauty
Nice!
for you non french..CEASAR just literraly means , Truck equipped with an artillery system lol
yes but remains to Caesars latin words: "Veni ,Vidi, Vicci "
@@leneanderthalien in this case, I would engrave the old Latin devise that the French had for their artillery: Ultima ratio regum => The last argument of kings
i really love the hawkeye hummer howitzer
I love your tone and cadence as you speak.
More often than not I lay down while your videos play, and watch till I fall asleep
it is Denmark that donatet 19 Caesar to Ukraine
"A 6x6 vehicle with a mounted howitzer cannon is unloaded from a C130" Looks very much like either a Globey or a Antonov.
"Can be transported by Airbus A400-M" and shows a lovely picture of a C130J. Jeeesuz!!!!
French army use c130 so that's obvious!
The 6x6 is designed to be transportable in a C130J (the barell is downed inside the cabin to reduce high) while the 8x8 need a A400M because is heawyer and longer
@@leneanderthalien
You missed the point entirely mate. I wasn't saying that it 'can't' be transported in a Hercy Bird. I was pointing out the inaccuracies of the aircraft being shown.
Chassis = chassy.
Nice piece of equipment !
The interesting side of this system is not even filmed, the incredible rate of fire in automatic or semi-auto is impressive and the video only shows isolated shots without seeing the reloading and the next shot!!! It’s regrettable!
6 ammunition in 45 secondes, so at it's highest rate 8 ammunition in 1 mn.
SLAVA UKRAINI.. FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE
Mixed blessing. Caesar and Archer have better high speed mobility than traditional self-propelled artillery, as long as the roads are decent. They allow for great shoot & scoot capability to avoid counter-battery fire. I wonder how they'll do in the Ukrainian rasputitsa though.
yes but even vehicles with track get stuck in mud. 100% guaranteed. There is no equipment except hovercraft that can move whatever the seasons. The best is that russia does not have equivalent of Caesar weapons.
@@vinct7023 Techinically it does. It got introduced in service in 2023 so its brand new. Its called Malva. It got introduced as a low cost alternative to the tracked howitzers Russia tends to prefer.
The other big thing is their accuracy: targeting algorithms/systems and barrel quality.
Chasis is pronounced "cha-see." The last s is not pronounced. But your French pronunciation is excellent! :)
i think the speaker is a robot
@@leneanderthalienThat makes perfect sense considering all the A.I. horseshit goin on.
Imagine if Napoleon had those at waterloo
Napoleon was a Fan of Artillerie ! He would be amazed and used it Perfectly
Lmao he would have conquered the world.
Il aurait fait un massacre chez les anglais😂😂😂
Patay bis
For all your haters commenting on your pronunciation of "chassis", your French pronunciation of "Camion Équipé d'un Système d'Artillerie" was really spot on (source: I am French)!
Thanks for your profuse content!
*Edit* your pronunciation of Thales and Sagem though are not how we say it, but considering they are company names, I think you get a pass, it's these companies fault they did not pick a name that sounded nice in English.
it's the english speakers fzult that when they pronounce something they doesn't sound nice.
what trade-offs are there in using a wheeled howitzer like this compared to a tracked howitzer like the M109?
If they get a flat tire they can keep moving unlike losing a track
Armor
speed
Wheeled platforms
Pros:
Low cost
Field repairable
Simpler
Minimal cost to train driver
Much faster on improved roads
Crew comfort
Cons:
Less resistant to small arms fire and shrapnel(cannot operate near enemy)
Ground contact area is a fraction of that of a tracked vehicle.
Lower total vehicle weight(armor)
Less crew survivability(less armor)
Cannot operate on soft ground(soft sand, recent rain, plowed fields)
Less maneuverable
Tracked platforms
Pros:
Usually can operate in hostile situations(small arms fire and shrapnel not as much of an issue)
Higher total vehicle weight(armor)
Higher crew survivability(armor)
Maneuverability
High speed on unimproved ground
Able to operate on more surfaces
Cons:
Cost
Complexity
Crew comfort
Lower field repairability
Weight
Special operator training required
Slower on improved roads
@@colinjohnson5515good comment.
Pros. of wheeled systems: improved strategic mobility
(1) easily air portable
(2) lower operational costs / lower logistics burden (fuel and spares) as they have the same logistics footprint as a 6x6 (or 8x8) truck basically. Tracked vehicles basically need specialised transport trucks to be effectively redeployed.
And here the US army’s most mobile platform… the Stryker, is still dragging around towed artillery.
see an ancient weapon performing better than new new advanced technology
Chassis is pronounced "chas-ee", in case anyone's interested in saying words correctly.
You’re just being overly peedahntic.
🤪😂😉
And TBH, it’s actually pronounced “SHA-see”. 😉
@vincedibona4687 no, it's not 🙄
Might want to check out the South African G6, see when that started production, strengths and characteristics and then compare it to the César.
nice
The 8x8 Caesar should be on Tatra Truck. Which is good af.
It is!
It was Denmark that donates all there Caesar not France.
That's not true. France gave 30 canons and Denmark 19.
Does Ukraine still have portable hand held stinger missiles ( Manpads missiles ) to target effectively aircrafts ?
Send it to the Ukraine 🇺🇦
It's already in Ukraine.
I wonder how this compairs to the South Africa's G6 Rhino?
This Russo-Ukraine war is like a gr.5 kid bullying a gr.2 handicapped kid. But the handicapped kid has awesome uncles and instead of fighting his battles for him, his uncle is teaching him how to fight with other peoples fists. It’s brilliant! 💙💛💪
Bruh what
So what your saying is us Americans have a retarded nephew that's getting bullied??? 🤣🤣
"The handicapped kid" actually designed half of the Soviet weapons Russia still uses.
*0:14** I've been looking for a new truck, and since I'm going to be spending over $120k for one because of this ridiculous economy, I might as well get one of these.*
_Now... do I need a 5-man crew, or can this be crewed by one, just slower?_
I have been in a M109 unit and yes all those can be used by fewer people but with degraded performance Nexter can even make a version that can be completely automated so 1 guy can shoot with it but in real life that is not ideal as you need sentries , and 24/7 service from artillery units they never stop firing they just support some one else also prep of the shells, charges fuzes etc... takes a lot of time and a 155mm shell weighs between 43-52 kilos each so unless you want to break the gunners in a day then yes you want 5 guys and maybe even a spare crew, and things break in wartime use and need to be cared for get cleaned new grease checked oil batterys etc....
So you are either a troll/Bot or completely ignorant of how artillery works
family counts
YOOOOO JOE
Interesting video, though there's an error about the weight, the first model, which is the one showed in this videos weighs only 17,5 tons, and not 18,5, the advantage of this weapon is that it can be carried by a plane C130 or A400M. the new generation weighs up to 34 tons from memory, yet it is still transportable by plane but I guess, the plane consumes more kerozen.
Making Putin Explode with Anger, whatever you say bro, whatever you say
Cost effective, volume wins eventually....
Cesar is an example to build cheaper artillery systems. In german military the artillery following close to the combat troops so they need protection for the users. That is reason for PZH 2000 and the new RCH155 systems which are quite more expensive but the security of the users are an main important point in the modern warfare.
it's a choice, this protection requires tons of armor, it reduces mobility (speed and autonomy), which is also an essential characteristic to avoid counter-batteries and detection and attacks by drones
If you shoot during you drive...no one can hit you...RCH155 could fire during driving and shoot 8 Granates in 90 seconds...little bit more as PZH 2000. If you change fire position every 2 Minutes...no counter battery fire will hit you. For example no one PZH 2000 was hit since they are used by Ukraine...only one was hit by a drone and is still in operation. If you hit a Caesar the most operator will be hurt and the open gun needs minimum longtime repairs. Cannon can be repaired or replaced by a new one but the user need years of training an experience to better protect them saves a lot of money.
All these modern artillery systems have the same advantage over old systems: a very rapid “fire and go” principle, which is enough to avoid counterattacks by opposing artillery.
The Caesar was designed in 1992, the PZH2000 in 2014 (and put into service in 2020), the RCH155 also in 2014, we are not talking about the same generation.
Only 3 Caesars have been destroyed out of 18 deployed and intensively used in Ukraine for a year and a half, including 2 destroyed during the counter-offensive of mid-2023 (more risky situation), by lancet drones which know how to hit moving targets, so shooting while driving is not the miracle solution. The Caesar 8x8 provides "light" protective armor to save the crew and often allow the vehicle to be repaired, not against direct artillery fire (mobility and speed of deployment avoid this), but sufficient against most drones.
Heavy protection has a cost: financial first (5M for a Caesar, 12M for RCH-155, 18M for a PZH2000), autonomy in the field (halved), maintenance (much easier on a truck chassis than on a heavy armored structure: half of the pzh2000 deployed in Ukraine are under repair due to premature wear, while other howitzers used in the same way do not have this problem), manufacturing time (where/when are the rch-155?), and in deployment capacity by aircraft (18 tonnes for a caesar, 39 tonnes for an rch155, 55 tonnes for a pzh2000).
3 generalities:
Armament is always a matter of compromise.
Between the paper and the field we see big differences, practice in real conditions reveals what was the right choice.
There is the weaponry dreamed of for the years to come, and that which is already delivered to the field when it is needed.
@@cotcotpouetpouet PZH 2000 was developed in the 1990 and not in 2014. You are not under protection if you are in a fire position with a Cesar than all crew members outside the vehicle. The main point was the lower price, another kind of doctrine and the colonial history of France so they need a lower weight to transport the systems to Africa or in other regions. That is the same reason for M-777. You can produce every system cheaper if you produce more. In 1990 the plan was to produce 1500 PZH 2000 only for the Bundeswehr and around 800 for other countries with such kind of numbers the prices go much cheaper. The same about Leopard 2 tanks in 1982 was 400 prices produced in one year so the price for one was much smaller. That is now the problem with Ukraine we produce not enough and too many different systems so prices increase much because no one decides to produce one artillery piece in great numbers. Btw...PZH 2000 has been in service since 1998 if I remember right. right...
Every manufacturer has a plan based on commercial estimates, but most are wrong, then it's a double penalty, the price goes up and they sell even less.
Experience shows that the doctrine of use of caesar, archer, and other ultra-mobile rapid deployment artillery does not put operators at risk during the 3 minutes necessary for the operation (stopping, deployment, multiple shots, putting away and leave). What seems generally more at risk for soldiers (not only artillery operators, but also the troops they support) is having too few artillery systems (because of the cost, the possibilities transport in the country, maintenance difficulties) to press the adversary, and not being able to move them as often and quickly as necessary, due to their mass and lower speed.
"le mieux est l'ennemi du bien".
South Africa has built and used wheeled howitzer since approximately 1986 with very good effect and results. It can shoot approximately 60+ km.
I’m torn between the Ceasar and the archer…
Both great systems, I believe the Caesar is much more affordable.
If you think that's insane, i have a toothpick you want to buy for 10k, its a steal!
its also an 4*4....
Denmark gave Ukraine its 18, 4*4 that should have delivered them to Denmark...
My god Thales is Tar lez
don't be calling mi sister "Cha"... see! Silly robot
Looks like a pain to drive off-road. Not as bad as a fueler, but I wouldn't want to drive it at it's maximum speed off-road...
McRae “when in doubt, flat out”....
It was not meant to replace the tracked ones but the towed howitsers and it can be ready in much less then 1 min.
Because it has so long range and MRSI and each has GPS it basically just need to lower the back spades and load there are no need to calibrate all the guns in the battery as people did in the old days (ww2 and Cold war) it dossent need to be off road as it sits in cover and hides get a fire missin goes out to someplace close by, lowers its spade and fires the firemission as its a 52 Cal weapon the flight time is so great that it can fire more than 1 mission then raise the spades and buck out to either the next hide or to restock ammo also in a hide then rinse and repeat.
That means that it can stay on the road or very close to it and since its so fast on roads and it has so long a range that it can support many more fire missions with impunity.
In the cold war era NATO never fired with less then 2 BTYs (12-16 tubes) at a time and preferred a whole BTN/REG (18-24 tubes) to get the effect that they wished for now a days they are much more effective with bonus , GPS rounds ect.... so you get alot more bang for a lot less money /Tubes., and they are much more mobile and have the range to avoid the counter battery fire.
Also on that note since all guns calculate the fire solution themselves they are able to be spread out in a very large area so it will be virtually impossible to do counter battery missions against them cause they are not there anymore when the enemy are able to land shells in that area where they fired from.
So yes the tracked ones are awesome in a 1 to 1 comparison but are really completly over kill if done correctly and a waste of money just look at the new german RCT 155 with a crew of 2 guys that can shoot while it moves and it is still a wheeled armoured vehicle with a 52 cal tube.
The only real threat is drones and hipersonic weapons which no tracked vehicle can defend against anyway. so as long as you can keep those from the artillery then they are virtually immune to enemy action.
I doubt Putin is "exploding with anger" over this. lmao
probably more exploding with anger about half his tanks vaporized...
@@ReZaReKtA340 Doubt that as well. Production is replacing any losses with a net gain. Ukraine meanwhile is going to lose the support of the US and it's colonies like Germany. 😂
@@Mercer1012you're right , Putin don't give a f**k of his tanks , crews inside , everything's going according to plan , just lost 100 000 men in 2 years and thousands of armoured vehicles even flagship against a country without navy...PERFECT!!!!
@@ReZaReKtA340 You mean Ukraine has lost 100,000 men in 2 years, Russia has lost only 20-30k of which that was mostly Donbass/Luhansk militia. Which side is sending pregnant women and 60 year olds to the front and begging for money and ammo? Oh yeah, Ukraine. 🤣 Tick tock...
@@Mercer1012 The whole replacement argument is ... kinda invalid. While it is true Russia ramped up its manufacture of "modern" MBTs to account for losses, most of the replacements come from cold war stock piles of T72s. And when you see the satellite images of those stock piles ... I'm dubious about the quality of said replacement ahah.
In short, quantity over quality for sure.
why the hell to you use the metric system
Another "Game changer?" 😂
"Making Putin Explode with Anger". Where is the source of that?
As a corollary, Gerald Bull introduced this type of system to the South Africans during the apartheid years. Might want to check this out.
The G6 is a bit différents (bigger, more protected, close crew compertment, less mobility...)
True, but it was about 15 years before Caesar.@@jean-philippebobin3732
BTW chassis is produced ‘shassey’.
Dictionary!
La France
Seeing home much the truck frame whips around when the cannon fires, here's my question. How many rounds can this system fire before the chassis snaps itself in half? Don't get me wrong, I think it's a heck of a concept, I just question the longevity of the transport portion.
The Caesar has been used by the French against Daesh in Irak. From April 2016 to September 2019 it shot 18000 rounds against daesh and the chassis turned out to be completely fine.
I may seem impressing but the shovel at the back take most of thé recoil, so when thé shovel is deep enough thé chassie dosn't move
@@jean-philippebobin3732 Watch the video again. The chassis IS moving. It's whipping up and down under the recoil of the cannon when it's fired from low elevations. Even with reinforcing, a heavy truck chassis is not going to take a lot of that before metal fatigue and stress fractures set in.
@@marinetech262 In the Sahel or on dirt (more statique position like in afgany Fr base) the suffer far less, but the maintenance is easy. I don't know thé exact number of shell but some of CESAR har a rotation of 18 month in Afghanistan
Seems like the truck portion would be easily replaceable compared to a tracked version. At least it is for civilian equipment like pier drilling machines etc.
Yes,they give you some alder scrap
The Gigantic "French" weapon
not sure if it's going to make Putin explode in anger as the title suggested, but for sure some caesar howitzer have been already destroyed by lancet drone.. so another weapon that is supposed to help Ukraine to win this war.. but failed... It's good to have canon, but if they don't have ammo.. it's another story..
Ceasar seems to have a very stiff body. My choice.
OMFG Chasis is pronounced chasey
lmao u gonna shoot a drone down with that?
Lmao u gonna shoot a fighter jet with a grenade launcher? 🤔
Very minor point. This word "Chassis" has a silent s on the end is pronounced "Cha-see" not Cha-sis".
oh yes, he's so afraid of it loooool

Russian invasion? I'd call it an infestation at this point...
yeah as Ukrainian as the apple pie
I'am surprised that not unlike the US Army they haven't developed a munition similar to the New Ram Extreme Long Range Munition. Then maybe they have and possibly they have yet to state as much. The US munition has successfully tested out to 85 miles with a reported range of 85 to 140. The bonus is no new gun barrels are required and they ware less than standard rounds with the same muzzle velocity thus no increase in barrel ware.
Such ammo exists already for the Caesar.
Ukraine did and still use them for high value target. They are available in limited quantities and France can't afford to send all the stock anyway for our own forces, keeping in mind that our customers order them as well. They've proven to be extremely precise.
The only real down side of the Caesar is how Nexter is limited in its production capacity due to a lack of orders for our own forces in the past decade. To sustain a solid chain of production and personnal.
It takes too much time to deliver for the many interested customers.
Israël caught on this and went full China. They copied everything they can from the Caesar and are promising shorter delivery times. I hope we kick things up in face of this situation.

as a swede i´m Partial to prefering the Archer System ^^
but CAESAR seems like a nice system to!
It's almost like it's a real-time uat test and sales pitch for these arms manufacturers and has very little to do with Ukrainian lives.
Vive l'Ukraine libre ; les braves ne plieront jamais 💙💛
In what part of the world does Dark live where they consistently mispronounce "chassis"?
chassis is pronounced chassy
"mobility" and "firepower". *surviability* though? This weapon has none of it.
La survivabilite est due à sa capacité à quitter sa position très vite pour éviter les tirs de contre batterie
Nobody who is serious about warfare underestimates Russian capabilities, even though they have not demonstrated anything truly impressive in this war, in contrast to the Ukrainians, who have surpassed expectations at all levels from Zelensky to every grunt in trenches along with the civilian resolve. We are proud to stand with them and should provide them with everything they need.
They should have spent the last few decades building up their military after the soviet union collapsed. Now they expect the rest of the world to foot the bill because of their negligence and corruption. Nah, we dont owe them anything. They need to learn the hard way the old saying ‘In time of peace, prepare for war’
Too much drama. And why does the natator talk so fast? I can not watch this.
“The insane 6x6 with a howitzer”….this is not new. Stop with the damn clickbait.
Archer is better
I still think Czechoslovak Dana vz77 is better but nice
It's good but it's not Archer!
Please learn how to say 'chassis' correctly. It's cha-see. I cringe every time you say it wrong. Even so, love your vids.

Удобная гаубица для обстрела городов. Если убивают ваш народ, на протяжении 9 лет. то разозлится.. не только лидер этой страны.. Этими Цезарями украинские войска обстреливают Донбасс на протяжении уже нескольких месяцев. По этому у них и нехватка снарядов.. На западе мало что знают об этой войне..
Thanks to profits from the CAESAR, Sagem were able to launch an international market deployment of mobile devices. Sadly unable to compete with Nokia at the time, their devices were mostly a failure.
Jeeze… as impressive as this is as a mobile field piece, it looks almost like the recoil threatens to snap the frame of the truck just behind the crew cabin with every shot, even with the spades deployed. I can’t imagine you’d be able to put all that many rounds down range without at least cursory maintenance and upkeep, unless you want your mobile gun platform to shake itself into several useless pieces just from firing it more times than you should’ve…I dunno. Maybe I’m mistaken, or perhaps there are measures in place to mitigate the effects of the recoil that I’m not seeing or aware of… I’m certainly no expert, I’m just speaking on what I believe I’m seeing in the footage used in this video. Ehh, even if it is an issue, the Ukrainians have proven themselves to be more than capable and creative enough to come up with and implement any necessary after-market modifications that might be helpful or required. Edit: I’m referencing the 6x6 model specifically.. the 8x8 appears to be quite heavy and sturdy enough to significantly lessen the strain on the vehicle frame
Mistaken ... the 155 mm Excalibur round is the star not he platform. yes this is a great system cause it can relocate and shoot so quick ... vs the towed version or track ... please know the round is gone before all that recoil moves the system ... just like shooting a rifle with a big felt recoil ... all that happens AFTER the round is gone ... Mistaken
the CAESARs fired tens of thousands of shells, and the chassis did not show any particular problem, so, do not ask yourself too many questions on this subject, moreover, instead of a rigid system which would be more sensitive to shots, the 6 x 6 chassis is very flexible, which limits fatigue cracks, a rigid material will break more easily than a flexible material which will better absorb shocks and vibrations! a concrete example, today's cars have bodies which are not rigid but which deform during shocks, in the past, the cars were very rigid, at the slightest accident, the car did not deform and it was the passengers of the vehicle which took all of the kinetic energy, today, the car is designed to deform gradually, at the beginning a lot and as the sinking, the sheets deform less and less to limit the penetration of the obstacle into the passenger compartment! even the wheels help reduce kinetic energy! Obviously, there will always be a limit not to be exceeded, in terms of speed or weight or shape of the obstacle! a human body resists a kinetic energy of 150G, but over a very short period of time, on the other hand, in a combat plane, humans faint before 10G if the G lasts too long, a Rafale reaches 11G, it is the only one, sir or madam everyone will faint well before these 11G!!
Great system ... glad its in Slava Ukraine !!!@@LOLOVAL-os3pq
@@LOLOVAL-os3pq sure, of course I understand the benefits of flexibility where absorbing the stresses of heavy recoil are concerned, I only had to wonder because a truck chassis isn’t something I would ever usually equate with the quality of flexibility. If it happens to be that’s wonderful and all, but I couldn’t help but notice in the footage of the 6x6 firing, the entire vehicle lifted upwards and appeared to bow significantly in the process. Military engineers of any country are surely plenty smart enough to notice such a thing in testing before such a system ever hits the battlefield and would be more than capable of implementing mitigating measures of one description or another if and where necessary. I wasn’t saying anything bad about the Caesar system; if it worked well enough for Ukrainian warfighters in achieving their objectives, then I’m happy to leave it at that. I’m certainly not losing any sleep over it, just voicing an observation that made me raise an eyebrow or two.
@@sadsciuidae3425 no, friend, you miss my point. I’m not talking about the effectiveness of the system as a whole or it’s battlefield capability. I just noticed in the video that the 6x6 version of the Caesar looked like it was doing its best to fold in half each time it fired, figured it might require heavier-than-usual upkeep and maintenance, and was wondering out loud if that was actually a real thing or not. I have since received the answer to my question, which is all well and good, but I feel the need to point out that it’s kindof hard to be mistaken when one is more posing a question than making a statement.
Nothing about the problems they have, like its too light. So when it fires it bounces around, and throws off targeting.
LOL the Caesar is pobably the most accurate 155mm around
Did you notice this baby has pop up white flags on all four sides
your village just called, they demand their idiot back
