It's not a replacement for AS90. Just for the once donated to Ukraine. The real replacement is the RCH 155 mounted on the Boxer 8x8. It's even more advanced than the Archer.
The UK investment is the RCH 155 because it shares a common frame with the Boxer Secondly, Sweden is process of upgrading its Archer from 6x6 to 8x8 The 8X8 has more commonality than the 6x6 Sweden's smart play would be trying to market its 6x6 to the US Army and USMC Ideally simple replace the guns with complete new and other refurbishments and that would cut down delivery time
@@Orbital_Inclination Yes I know I've spent 40+ years in Defence. It can also be a mask to cover indecision and / or hoping the problem will just go away.
The Archer, a Great Wheeled System, only 14 in service though with the RA. Would be ideal to have up to four full strength Batteries for 19th Regiment Royal Artillery. Plus replacing the Tracked AS90 Capability with an Updated PzH 2000, which would complement the future Wheeled RCH 155 being procured.
Archer excellent howitzer. When I think of an Archer I think of Agincourt and the English Archers. Wonders if the Russians can hear the NATO howitzers as they practice.
Certainly hope that those watching are taking in the differences with wheeled and tracked SP guns, especially with the new K9. There has always been the question of the cross country performance of such wheeled howitzers as compared to tracked ones. While the Archer certainly has the advantage of being able to move faster, especially over paved surfaces, but does it come with the drawback of not being able to handle rough terrain like a tracked vehicle? Is the difference in performance & capability negligible enough that it will not be a hinderance?
Just pause a second and ponder what country developed the system, why they developed the system and what environment the system is supposed to operate in.
@@biscuitcrusader Ukraine has shown the vulnerability of towed system. Tracked and wheeled unit are far more survivable on the battlefield An Archer can implace, fire 3 rounds and displace in 74 seconds It light 105mm variant of the Archer able to do the same would be far more effective than towed units
Takes time to manufacture and there's a waiting line...also the ones in the most hurry to get more are currently waging a defensive war against the intended target of said weapons system....

Did I hear fourteen ?? As in 14 ??
We need to add a 0 onto that
140 makes sense....

@@heinedenmark The Archer is better and its battle proven.
14 in this exercise in Finland. More are in other countries forces

@@verdebusterAP No, It's not about Archer upgrading to 8x8. Archer can be delivered to 8x8 if the customer wants it. 6x6 or 8x8.
Articulated Artillery in the Arctic.

Ahh... Rovajärvi. I spent almost a month there back in the day.
3 weeks in April 1982 🙂
And what use is this against an off the shelf drone armed with a rpg?
Swedes make guns better than meatballs.
I’m guessing 14 is just a temporary number? 🤔
dont get your hopes up lmao
Sort of. They are 'donated' from Sweden to compensate for the AS90's the UK donated to Ukraine.
The real replacement for AS90, is the German RCH 155.
Train hard guys
Isn’t this a Swedish system?
Yes.
Looks like brits are doing what their colonies like to do too: claim someone else's work as their own.
Ah yet another "stopgap" / "interim" solution.
Things take time to manufacture and get into service safely.

Look at the state of that Beret.
Rupert 😳
They (Chasseurs Alpins) were the first soldiers to wear berets, they are the originl berets for soldiers and every other regiment copied them.
@@SpecialOperationsExecutive I bet they didn't wear beret 3 sizes too small for there head though, like this idiot.

Good reference from hot fuzz
Actually there is more than that. Put your glasses on.

@@BlesamaSoul ……very true.
They should make a 105mm variant of the Archer
There is a 12cm costal artillery variant
@@petter5721
A 105mm would easily transported by air

@pauledwards9493 how many did you pay for? Better yet, pay your own way, for once!
Better to buy off the shelf

14...
One for every year since 2010.
What a joke the British army is lol.
