A good artillery system. Fast, robust, precise, air transportable in its MK1 version. In any case it seems very effective in the hands of the Ukrainian gunners and which according to them is surely the best conventional artillery system they have. NB: They still had the balls to put them on barges to crush the island of snakes and scare the Russians away. Bravissimo.
To complete your comment, the 8x8 version is also air transportable but in a A400M air transporter or larger, while the 6x6 versions can also been loaded in C130/160 thanks to their lower weight and volume (the future 6x6 Mk2 version will remain compact and light enough to be loaded in a C130 air transporter)
It' not so well known, BUT France have à very long history in artillery, I'm french. I am quite sûre french invited 18 century kind of explosive ammunition about 155 mm I also think we directly " invented" the modern 155mm look at 155 GPF Grande Puissance Filloux in 1917 this gun was expoted everywhere and gave birth to the American " 155 long rifle" or somename like that. And this GPF is the ancester of CAESAR ( LOL : simply means Truck with a Gun is is funny) yep No NRBC on the version of the moment BUT probably not easy to do. The TATRA 8x8 version looks like requiring à full ataumated charging because the culasse of gun is really very high ( not so nice) just 2 things missing in this VERY nice vidéo THALES quality for aiming system is surely world best class and CAESAR can aim and fire so quick that 6 rounds touch target at same time !!!

@@hermes6910 I learn about the 155 GPF of ww1 just some weeks ago and was surprised by the development by US etc, really looks like the "father" of all moderns 155.. am I right ? ( just want to make sure, best way to get good infos) thx
👍🏻 great video thanks. Has you say Caesar has created a new segment in the artillery with lower cost, high mobility, fire rate and precision strikes from a distance. It complements perfectly other types of artillery pieces that are used for different purposes. Great tool to have and apparently the Ukrainians are very happy with it as it delivers what they currently need to harass the back of the russian army very efficiently and from a distance. For now out of 18pcs delivered only 1 gets damaged by loitering munitions all the others seems to be running perfectly and maintenance is not a big headache apparently. One can regret the limiter number of shells that the 6x6 versions carries and the light armour but that’s to be compared with the versatility and ability to move much faster and better than most other piece of artillery of this class.
Indeed they don't cary as many as the 8x8 or some SPG's but if you want a fire mission and to get out before counter battery fire it is plenty IMHO, and at the hideout normal trucks with munitions are standing by. And when operating from a safe FOB then they don't need to carry them as the suply is localy available.
이 장비의 특성을 잘 이해하고 기동로가 확보된 상태에서 머리 위를 잘 지켜준다면 관측당하지 않고 일방적으로 상대를 두들겨 패는데 최적인 멋진 장비입니다. 기동로가 봉쇄되기 쉬운 쓰임에 어려움이 있는 곳에 투입되었을 때나 아군 전선이 빠르게 붕괴되는 상황만 겪지 않는다면 공격받을 일이 없기에 방어장갑이 약한 것은 문제가 되지 않지만 그렇지 않고 불안정한 전선에 빅건이 필요할 때 그곳만은 트랙형 자주포가 투입되어야겠죠. 덴마크가 이 강력한 장비를 우크라이나에 보내고나서 즉시 이보다 열화된 성능의 이스라엘 ATMOS를 도입하려 했었다는 게 이해가 안갑니다
The Archer is a less mobile/cost effective CAESAR that can't be airborne* (The CAESAR has been in service a decade before the Archer so it should be the other way around for the comparison...)
@@kingdedede1066 The whole idea behind wheeled artillery is shoot and scoot. So the counter artillery doesn't matter. Aka the survivability onion, aka, don't be there when the shell fall down. So the Armor you are carrying around everywhere doesn't matter as much. Look at the war in Ukraine indeed, they lost 1 CAESAR so far, 1 ! Probably to a drone strike.
@@Tsagan that’s true but look at your own statement. If a lucky drone with a grenade can take out your artillery piece then some thin armour might be helpful.
When talking about the engines, you should only include torque, especially if you’re only going to provide only one power number. Torque is the only thing that matters when you’re talking about heavy vehicles, towing + acceleration.
On TMH, crew need to leave security of there vehicle, so they could operate gun from outside. Compared to TMH, crew stay inside SPH when they operate it.
@@brezovprut4431 CEASER is SPH, but as video shows there is definitive difference in the way "true" SPH like like NORA are used compared to TMH CEASER. Both types fill same role, but way they are used can be different.
Counterbattery fire, when the irish in Jadotville were getting sieged by heavy mortars and field artillery, the UN mission only had a handful of light mortars

Yeah, that's sure that our national myth claim that our ancestors are gaul and that romans were an invading enemy. But let's see the truth, our ancestors are romans as much as gaul.
It's not named after a Roman , it's an acronym The CAmion Équipé d'un Système d'ARtillerie (English: Truck equipped with an artillery system) or CAESAR
@@jureeratpholseela7508 And this Acronym was chosen specificaly because it refer to the roman empire, otherwise they could have taken CESA (Camion Équipé d'un Système d'Artillerie), and by the way, everyone (militaries, journalists, politics) pronounce it cezar and not kaéssar as the acronym should be pronounced in french.
Do you know that asian countries also make howitzer, If you have time after making video on Western wepons , Then try to make video on asian howitzer. Chinese Indian Japanese Korean ......... 👍
Désolé mais ce documentaire est obsolète, contruction du Caesar 6x6 1992-1999, ce type de Caesar n'est plus construit, alos comparer le 6x6 avec des modèle + moderne n'et pas fairplay, fait le même documentaire avec le 8x8 qui est actuelement en dotation dans l'armée Française et achté par d'autre pays. Merci d'avance ! Sorry but this documentary is obsolete, construction of the Caesar 6x6 1992-1999, this type of Caesar is no longer built, so compare the 6x6 with modern + models and not fairplay, made the same documentary with the 8x8 which is currently endowment in the French army and purchased by other countries. Thanks in advance !
n’importe quoi, votre commentaire, archi-faux... complete nonsense, France didn't purchase ANY 8x8 Caesars and is asked Nexter to develop a new 6x6 Chassis called MK2. France probably won't purchase any 8x8 model in the future. And the 6x6 version is constantly produced as Marocco (all received in 2020), Indonesia (12 received in 2022) already purchased it while Belgium, Lithuania already ordered the 6x6 Mk2 version Please don't comment when you don't know and especially when everything is correctly explained in the video
8x8 is not yet in service and the 32 ordered to be delivered between 2025 and 20-30 to replace the last AUF-1 . The video talks about the 8x8 and also about the new CEASAR NG . Salutations
If videos are update and accurate , 3-5 soldiers buzzing around , and manually load this weapon. What a target for cheap drones with simple tromblone mine beneath . Ukraine war shows that only fully closed crew and/or fully automated guns are future proof .
But the war also showed heavily armored tanks and howitzers being destroyed by drones. The fact is the best protection of a Caesar howitzer is its ability to shoot-and-scoot and its high mobility on easy terrain and road, allowing them strategic advances
Ah ok, you mean like in Dunkirk where the British army abandoned millions of tons of equipment, vehicles, ammunition, weapons, armor without sabotaging anything in its desire to escape quickly? Won't you transfer?
@@olivierpuyou3621 true, but they didn’t surrender! And it was that spirit of never giving up (along with our help) that helped them win ww2. Heck the French still ain’t kicked the surrender habit - their “army” had to flee from a couple of African countries in the last year.
@@khaldrago911 Unlike the Russian Orc, we are leaving the country that called us for help, because its government asked us. On the other hand, could you tell me about Yortown, Sarratoga, Corregidore or Singapore? More glorious feats of arms I suppose?
@@jmbig you forgot to add Algeria and Mali to that list! After all there’s a reason why y’all’s flag has white in the middle (in a pinch, you can rip off the red and blue and voila! A white flag of surrender!)
Why would an artillery system reach near zero elevation angles? It's not supposed to be used that way - if you allowed your enemies to come so close to your artillery that you have to use it in direct-fire mode then you probably already lost.
What interest is there in putting an artillery piece that can shoot 40 km in contact with the front? It's completely suicidal we are no longer in Napoleon's time where the guns fired in a straight line on the infantry marching in step.
@@yarmud Well, these kind of lightly armored, truck-based artillery systems were designed to be placed several kilometers behind the frontline. If you want your artillery closer to the frontline, you use heavily armored, tracked self-propelled artillery like PzH 2000 or AHS Krab.

As always, be honest. This channel is simply excellent.

It's a very low budget Archer 👍
Love how the whole truck jumps off the ground in recoil ! 😲
The Archer is a less mobile/cost effective CAESAR that can't be airborne* (The CAESAR has been in service a decade before the Archer so it should be the other way around for the comparison...)
interestingly, the 8x8 versions af CAESAR are just as heavy as the M109, and a lot higher.
I am struggling with the concept of a circular area of probability of 4 meters when you have a 100 pound shell that has a kill radius of 60 meters !
OK counter battery fire against an armored tracked Howitzer that degree of accuracy could be appreciated. Maybe stationary amored vehicles.
What about India ATAGS ?
As of july 2024 Croatia is joining the Caesar family.
if the crew can operate this without leaving the cab (like the Archer), it would be even more excellent.
It doesn't really matter. Look up the survivability onion. These are artillery system so they are by definition on the rear lines.
