Vlad is an ordinary gangster. He isn't suicidal. Even if he becomes suicidal once he loses this war, the same way his fascist predecessor did in a previous war, the other Russians that would be needed to carry out a nuclear attack are not suicidal. This calculation will change if the fanatics in Iran get nuclear weapons.
@@jimslater671 Yes exactly. People pretend this began about 2 months ago. The truth is this has been coming since the fall of the Berlin wall. We opted into the war that the Ukrainians are now paying the price for. You may not like hearing it, but it is none the less true.
I couldn’t agree more….The Brits have always made amazing guns…Americans have always been able to fill in the rest …and the result is a weapon that Russians cannot evade and will fear as long as it’s still in country. I understand a few of those big rounds actually landed IN RUSSIA yesterday ….I bet that’s a game changer…How will theRussian controlled news channels explain that one
Nothing like some good old Field Artillery from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma to kick Russian ass. I am a U.S. Army Field Artillery Veteran. My MOS was 15E, Pershing Missile Crewman. Sure wish we had about a dozen Pershing Missiles to launch into Moscow to wipe it off the face of the earth. Send them some Nuclear Missiles free of charge. Go Ukraine!
i did not realize that towed was an advantage in ukraine. thanks. makes a lot of sense. no wonder the UA is in love with it! slava ukraine. my view of the war? the world is against putin/hitler. always has been. in the USA this war is one of the few things that goes across party lines. i'm really proud of the way the USA has responded.
British Howitzer, used by USA , and other countries: The M777 is manufactured by BAE Systems' Global Combat Systems division. Prime contract management is based in Barrow-in-Furness in the United Kingdom as well as manufacture and assembly of the titanium structures and associated recoil components. Final integration and testing of the weapon is undertaken at BAE's facility in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Upon taking over responsibility for the weapon BAE 'Americanised' to a large degree the construction and assembly through its US-based BAE Systems Land and Armaments group. The M777 now uses about 70% US-built parts including the gun barrel, which is manufactured at the Watervliet Arsenal.
@@jafr99999 Understood. But just because it uses the parts from USA. Don't mean it is US weapon. It is like Nissan car using parts from USA. It is still a Japanese car lol. Anyhow, UK and USA are often collaborating on weapon's, eg: Lockheed Martin F-35B . Notice the B at the end, before commenting ;)
@@flash-dk1cc actually if its made in the us then it is very much a us weapon, Americans paid for, supplied & continues to build it in massive numbers. when more than 70 percent of "your" weapon is made from parts in the united states? sorry that that qualifies as our weapon. you invented it, but we are the ones who make it, use it & ship it over sea's.
Yes but it's limited horizontal angle of fire leaves the crews and forces vulnerable to a cavalry charge . It won't be long before the penny drops for the russians and they'll summon the Cossacks to the conflict theatre .
Excellent point, but a lot of the ground in the Donbass is too marshy for tanks. Besides the horses might look like good meals for the hungry troops on both sides.
Crazy that my teenage niece was trained to operate one of those M777. Crazier still, hearing her tell everyone at Thanksgiving dinner, step-by-step, how to prep, load, re-load, etc all the various types of ammo. Guess artillery was a better fit than cosmetology, where she dropped out to go full time Army.
@Keith Kitzhaber, Awesome! Thank you for raising what sounds like an incredibly patriotic, and really cool American daughter! Her service is surely appreciated by me, please tell her thank you from my family. God bless you, and your family Keith.
Well it is not bayonet charges anymore, so we need to get used to it. It still makes me cringe when a female is captured. The Russians are no better than ISIS.
Very informative! Thank you. It could just be my imagination, but the carnage visited upon that Russian armored battalion which attempted to bridge the Donets River makes one think that the ultra-precision of the M777, as maybe coupled with Excalibur, was responsible?
I know that they used SU-25's to attack one of the bridges at least as well as artillery. The Ukrainians have been plenty accurate with their 152 and 122mm guns but the issue is that they are running out of rounds for them. They were produced in Lugansk and they have been using strategic reserves for years now. Same for the 5.45x39mm rounds for their AKS-74's. They have also chewed through a lot of the ammo that the Baltic countries and Romania and Bulgaria had. I doubt they have competed training for many battery crews for the 155mm guns yet.
In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land. The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus. Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author. Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate. Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation. Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention...........
Thank you for this exceptional, highly detailed and informative video! The combination of Ukrainian warrior spirit and American advanced military hardware is certain to deliver a victory for Ukraine!! God bless the United States of America and glory to Ukraine and its heroic warriors!!! Thank YOU for all you do for our people!!! We shall never ever forget our American brothers and sisters!! WE guarantee it. 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦
Glory to Ukraine isn't that an old Nazi saying which you have adopted the same as the ones at the steel mill, and you are well aware of what happened to them.
Howitzer has almost twice the range of the Russian artillery as well as GPS capabilities with 1 shot, 1 hit and can also track mobile units. Russia has now more than met its match! It should just start running towards Moscow now.
M777 has 5 miles more range with standard loads. Russia is jamming gps. Excaliber rounds are VERY expensive. I have not seen confirmation any were provided. Without gps they would not be so accurate; however, IF real time gps positions of the gun battery and the targets can be provided from intelligence, very effective hits may be acheived.
@@ghimmy47 Fire can be adjusted using drones loitering at the target. 50 years ago we used a forward observer to adjust fire- no such thing as GPS and we were just as accurate. There are other factors affecting accuracy such weather, tube life (velocity error), powder temperature and rotation of the earth.
Ukraine is very grateful to the people of USA!!! There are three artillery schools in Ukraine, and they are the best in this part of the world. I'm sure with friends like America, Russia will be punished.
@Aleks AI, You're welcome my friend. The Ukrainian Freedom Fighters are some of the best in the world. This is what we've seen. One of the best fighting forces in the world deserves one of the best guns in the world. Now take these fresh new guns, and go get them my friend! Ukrainian freedom! Slava Ukraine!
I’m SO glad to see equipment in use and it’s quite impressive. I’m excited to hear about such extreme precision and distance capabilities. Ukraine is pushing Putin back with these. America is bored with him addressing and threatening us 🥱 and we are nauseated from everything he’s done in this war. Seeing Ukraine being flattened, civilians being raped and killed, bombing non-military areas…he is a ruthless, garbage person. America will keep supporting Ukraine because we want you to win and stop Putin before he starts WW3. Ya’ll are literally fighting for the world. We talk about this every single day and want nothing more than for Ukraine to destroy Putin for good. Love you! 🇺🇦🇺🇸❤️🤟🏻
For those not familiar with 155 mm metric sizing. Its slightly over 6 inches in diameter. A howitzer is halfway between a cannon which fires at a straight trajectory, and a mortar which has a high level of ascent and descent. As a result a howitzer round lands on top of a tank as opposed to a tank round that strikes at a tanks thickest armour points. When that 6 inch round hits the top of that tank, the kinetic energy alone will disable the crew but the blast will literally eveporate anything inside the tank. Russians know they are up against vastly superior weaponry now. That's why they want to just go back home. NATO would mop the floor with Russia.
This is no longer a miracle cannon, but an ordinary weapon, of which there are plenty. You can ask a legitimate question - why? And all because it is a tool for the Ukrainian front, devoid of electronics, so that it would not get to the Russians. The superweapon has been turned into a pumpkin.
Suffice to say, the tank crew will vaporize (as in vanish from existence), and the tank will be destroyed beyond repair. Yah don't need to know the physics.
Something worth noting, that the video was inaccurate on: the Excalibur shell is not a guided missile, it is a guided shell. Additionally, it does not have a jet engine, it simply has attached stabilizers that fold out mid flight that allow it to glide to the target.
@@viceroyviceroy-wj7cf It has a _rocket_ booster. There are no jet engines, capable of withstanding the g-forces an artillery shell experiences at the moment of firing.
They use what is called base bleed. They have some propellant in the back that vents gas in the area just behind the shell. It works by making them much more aerodynamic by filling what is normally a super low pressure zone directly behind the shell that creates a high amount of drag. By increasing the pressure in this zone drag is reduced and range is increase up to 35% on some rounds. Base bleed doesn't produce any thrust though like a rocket does.
"45,000 shells went with the first batch of 19 M777 Howitzers, and 145,000 shells went with the second batch of 72 Howitzers, up to 50,000 of the shells are of the Excalibur type"! "King of battle" is already proving its worth on the battlefields of 🇺🇦💪
Excalibur was developed and/or manufactured by the prime contractor Raytheon Missiles & Defense, The Swedish part of BAE Systems AB (i.e., BAE Systems Bofors). Message to Russia: Don't trouble with the Swedes and their mobile 155mm artillery system; Archer.
Don't forget the $40 BILLION sent to Ukraine. I never would have believed a small country could put such a major ass whipping on a country like Russia - in such a short period of time. I've added visiting Ukraine to my bucket list. After this is over I'm seriously considering cashing in my 5 weeks of annual vacation to help rebuild Ukraine.
@@rstrama64 LOL! Burning through imaginary money prematurely is kind of short-fused thinking! Secret everyone knows: the $40.02 billion aid bill hasn't even gotten out of congress YET 😉
Props for sending those weapons to Ukraine. We're sending 5 Sturmhaubitze 2000 self propelled artillery, and the Germans 7 i believe. We should do more as well.
All comments are so educated that I have next to nothing to add, except that I know Ukrainians well, they're quick learners and their Military understands perfectly well the supreme importance of artillery in combat. Rest assured, they will do good use of them.They've been doing a lot with far less.
@@duartesimoes508, Yes Sir! Ukrainian people are heroes! They shall remain free, and their beautiful country shall be rebuilt as they rise to show the world! Slava Ukraine!
The Russians can shoot this things from 90 miles away !!! This things only fire 12 miles away targets !!!?? So what is the use of sending this things to be destroyed by the RUSSIAN machine !!! Greetings from LAS Vegas
@@paulmurgatroyd6372 Laser now that's interesting for an Abrams tank got hit by a laser in Iraq went in one side bounce off the back of the driver's seat and out the other side leaving a 9 mm hole, we automatically started to cry about Russia did it and probably did just trying it out. From what I read, Russia doesn't feel it has enough Armata tanks to put them into service yet, but will in the near future.
The advantages of an under 5 ton towed weapon includes separability from the propulsion in case of damage or breakdown, airlift capability via large transport and on the battlefield via helicopter, reduced cost per firing unit and reduced training time for operation. The gun shows what situational planning can accomplish in the field of heavy weapons. Several guns to one isn’t a small advantage. I’m impressed with the US Army and so are our potential foes.
This is no longer a miracle cannon, but an ordinary weapon, of which there are plenty. You can ask a legitimate question - why? And all because it is a tool for the Ukrainian front, devoid of electronics, so that it would not get to the Russians. The superweapon has been turned into a pumpkin.
@@Redfvvg Alex, It’s unclear which 155 ammunition is being supplied. The weapon is indeed GPS capable and more, can fire auto homing ammunition as well as stupid shells. The US isn’t saying what ammo is being given for obvious reasons but we may surmise that some smart systems are in the package. Perhaps you are privy to DOD secrets? On the original point, as a dumb gun it still possesses the advantages I listed. Cheers.
@@jamesjacocks6221 I have a concern that some of this ordnance will fall into Russian hands. Unless they already have the technological capability (if not the money) to reverse engineer, and then reproduce this weaponry, then we may be handing it over to them.
@@SLVBULL A cease fire for the people of Ukraine. What rock did you climb from under? A super power like Russia should've already won this war, yet they are floundering. Imagine Russia fighting the US? No match.... Their military is a joke. Well I hope you put on that soviet uniform and go fight for your country Comrade.
As a FORMER Arty Marine I can fully vouch the M777 is a phenomenal piece of weaponry. That Russia will need to change their strategy when dealing with it.
As Ukrainian i just want to say THANK YOU GUYS. I dont know how we're gonna pay you for help, but you guys and the whole world saved us. I just can't even find enough words to show my appreciation
@Leos, You're welcome brother. Payback is being done by destroying the Russians, and sweeping them out of the Ukrainian homeland, restoring your original pre-2014 borders. Then hosting the incredible party celebrating Ukrainian Victory, and Freedom! Let's go get this done bro! God bless you! Slava Ukraine!
I hope they end up sending the M109A6 to Ukraine, I think that the fact that it's self propelled and comparable to the M777 to range can be a real game changer. They definitely need more artillery pieces that have long range.
Norway sent 20 units of its M109A3GNM L/39 155 mm long-range haubitz/howitser to Ukraine last week. They have been replaced with the K9 Thunder and K10 in the Norwegian Army since 2019. The A3GNM (German-Norwegian evolution) is older than the A6 Paladin, but were upgraded/modernized in 2007: new barrel is longer, loader improvements, intercom + nav + positioning systems are up to date, and the full upgrade cost fromA3GN to A3GNM (Modified) was USD 4.5 million per unit... The 20 will do the job, too, and with the same range as the other NATO 155 mm. Not sure about which ammunition types or quantities sent, but I would guess from Nammo's (Raufoss) product range.
@@devildog5657 At this point think it'll be for the best for them to send in the tracked artillery pieces as well. They can focus on sending the ones they can tow, and eventually the tracked vehicles can catch up to them. Rather have them send those artillery pieces now rather than later as things could turn more dire for the Ukrainians, and we will be trying to rush them in. Besides that those vehicles could also be loaded onto tractor trailers if needed.
@@brucelamberton8819 Add to that list also Canada (22 April: sending M777 long-range towed howitsers) and the Netherlands (25 April: sending Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000 long-range tracked howitsers).
I have a friend who grew up in the Ukraine. He has left the country. I am sad for every life lost, because of one man. But the Russians must go. Great work Ukraine.
Okay, so just a few things: 1. It’s actually 144,000 rounds at the very least. 2. It’s a total of 90 M777, 18 from the 1st aid package then 72 from the 2nd. This was before lend lease was signed. The package also includes 72 tactical trucks to tow these howitzers. 3. Australia (6) & Canada (4) also sent Ukraine a number of M777, making the total of 100 howitzers for Ukraine. ( USA (90) ) Please check your sources.
It's warmed over old info with an updated title. Pathetic. The images are old USA footage also. The first use of the M777 in Ukraine is on another channel, with the unit tucked into the trees and half the image heavily pixelated for security reasons.
@@fuzfire Yeah, Americans can usually tell a good thing when they see it (then convince themselves they thought of it) - BTW, I'm neither British or American.
My father was an infantry sergeant in Payton’s Third Army (CIB, Purple Heart etc.). The only story of a German solider surrendering to him personally that he told me about was one that came out (with his hands in the air), yelling, “comrade, comrade, BOOM, BOOM, no good, BOOM, BOOM, no good). Apparently the only English he knew. Being on the receiving end, Artillery quickly “wears on ya”…if it doesn’t kill you outright!
this is unbelievable, the delivery of M777s to Ukraine is THE most significant event in this century. Russia was confident because Ukraine never had any advanced weapons like this...everything has changed now. I can't imagine the fear in the Russian ranks when they heard the news of M777 delivery, this is fear factor, a lot of them have refused to return to the battle, there is no hope for Russia now, they have already turned into defensive and the liberation of entire Ukraine should be complete in the next 3 weeks.
As an Australian, I'm proud at the end that you show shots of an Australian donated M777 ( the kangaroo icon is a give away) with the added "United with Ukraine". Defending democracy is not cheap - Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy.
Ukraine should thank Germany too. They are giving the second largest weapons gifts to Ukraine and it will cost the Germans 70 Billion dollars per year extra for having to purchase much more expensive gasoline and natural gas from the middle East to keep their country running so their financial sacrifice is VERY LARGE!!! I do not think people realize how much Germany is helping with weapons while punching a massive hole into their economy since they get 70% of their fuel from Russia at very cheap pricing. They have also laid 650 Billion dollars worth of pipe lines over the past 45 years that crisis-cross Europe like a spider web and it is all wasted spending now as they all get turned off at the end of the year.
@@lesrayner4644 i wouldnt worry mate, theres a reason the brits didnt want them, and we will be finding out the reason why pretty quick, then watch the brits get the praise for it in a turned around hypocritical way, and that magic bullet they go on about, still slides in the paladin and its bloody expensive, so not many will be reaching ukraine, nothing like making a killing from a country on its knees by flogging a dead horse and making money from obsolete kit, its about self propelled or quick manual moving pieces and that aint one of them... Like a certain US made something as destroyed a Tank some sources say, shit hundreds have been destroyed before the fingers was pulled out their arses and sent the javelin...anybody would think there winning it....
These are going to be a game changer. That weapons system can put a 95lb explosive shell into a trash can from 25 miles away. You cannot get anymore badass than that.
For anybody still unsure of the significance of this weapon, a 155mm projectile is virtually the same size as used on naval cruisers during WW2. My father used a slightly bigger piece of artillery during WW2 and scored a direct hit on a very large German tank (Tiger) which blew it to pieces. This weapon will level things up significantly for the Ukraine army.
*Light cruisers made for killing destroyers and other lightly armed cruisers. Heavy cruisers used 8 inch (203mm) cannons. This is actually part of the historical definition of a Light/Heavy Cruiser for the US. Of course, other countries used a different system entirely.
MAY THE UKRAINIANS FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM BE VICTORIOUS" ALL THOSE FIGHTING FOR UKRAINE RETURN BACK TO THEIR FAMILIES SAFELY AND THE RUSSIAN ARMY BE DESTROYED. BLESS ALL THOSE COUNTRIES STANDING WITH UKRAINE IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.
What do people think about the war? I think is amazing that Putin hasn't grown a very specific mustache since that seems to be his inspiration. At least fir Ukraine the Russian army isn't the same quality as the Germans
You're right, the Russians are Ukraine's worst nightmare you do know what happened to the German army don't you once Russia got done with them. What some 2.5 million German men met their fate in Russia, so be careful of what you wish for.
God Bless all that got us involved in Putin and Biden’s Wars ! The Ukraine 🇺🇦 is the New Maccabees ! This not a war against men but against the evil of of Darkness. Father may the ones.

Thank you father for Answering my Prayers in the Padt , the present ,in the future . I love you God ! Praise your Holy Name ! Hallelujah
Interestingly the video never mentions who makes the M777 - BAE Systems. The "B" in BAE stands for "British". Real interesting how this video fails to mention that.
Have the yanks tooled up for it's manufacture maybe ? They were making merlin engines ww2, I believe they tooled up to make the Australian bushmaster which I thought originally was French.
@@normanwells2755 No I think Tatters20 was just pointing out a small but relevant fact ... which i am sure was an accidental oversight (as suggested by the title of the clip ) by the busy people at Military News ...
Ukraine is so brave and inspirational to the world, the reason for NATO is to fight for the freedom nations of the world. Ukraine should be accepted into NATO as a peace loving freedom loving country as well. I wish them a great victory over their treacherous, evil and cowardly enemy. Ukrainians will always be remembered as heroes, those Russians that support Putin will forever be remembered as cowards, those Russians who do not, will be also heroes in the eyes of human kind. Strength of character to all the heroes to bring victory to the peace loving people of the world, we together will always prevail against tyranny.
"Ukraine Used An American M777 155mm Howitzers To Destroy Russia" Holy shit! Just how powerful are these things if they can destroy an entire country?!
Starlink is not a substitute gps constellation, although some independent researchers were able to obtain fair coordinates by signal triangulation. GPS incorporates atomic clocks to achieve 10m accuracy. In surveying, if a known gps base position can be added to the satellite signals, accuracy can be in a sewing thimble. I have no idea if our newest, military gps satellites are available to Ukraine. I would doubt it. They are not all launched yet.
Amen I was just about to say that very thing and while they are at it lob a few of those rocket powered shells into a Ruski town and give'em some of what those bastards have dished out to the Ukrainians. We are far too afraid of Russia as to their Sabre ratting of nukes. They know they will be destroyed as much as any nation they hit. Just because the have hypersonic nukes doesn't make the older nuke unusable. Afterall it only takes a few to hit and business as usual is untenable!
@@deleaptealeaf8935 Yes, Mariupol is likely stranded, it'd be difficult to even cut the Russian supply lines that supply the Russian attackers since supply lines likely extend along the coast both from the west through Crimea and through the east through the Dombas. Ukraine would have to take out both the Crimea/Russia bridge, somehow interdict the road east of Mariupol and maybe roads leading northwards through the Dombas to cause the Russians to retreat, each would be difficult individually but accomplishing all nearly impossible. But who knows? I'd like to see Ukraine try.
It'll be interesting to see if Ukrainians are able to use the M777 to great effectiveness. They''ve already been using what they already have fairly well.
@@nekoericson5256 They have been using them for a month, while American units are just being used now. And again these are upgraded rounds from the American version. Just as Canadan military equipment is always upgraded above the rest . Doesn't matter what military systems you're talking about they are always a cut above the rest after the Canadian military gets their hands anything.
@@grantjohnston7148 we should look for their field toilets. maybe they have upgraded them also to an incredible level. they will be able to widstand several shitloads. so canadian toilets are the best.
The 155mm M777 has a range of 25 miles with the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) and a range of 40 miles (during testing) with High-Explosive Rocket Assisted (HERA). Both are high precision circular error probable (CEP) of 4 m. They can be towed quickly, deployed, fired, and moved to avoid counter battery fire. The US Army posted some good videos of the testing at Yuma in 2020 hitting a car at a range of 40 miles. .
I am a wee bit confused here ..... an "American" M177 155mm Howitzer .... that is unless i am mistaken is designed and manufactured by BAe Systems (the BAe bit standing for "British Aerospace ") ?

So much enthusiasm for a situation that is fast developing toward nuclear war.
Vlad is an ordinary gangster. He isn't suicidal. Even if he becomes suicidal once he loses this war, the same way his fascist predecessor did in a previous war, the other Russians that would be needed to carry out a nuclear attack are not suicidal. This calculation will change if the fanatics in Iran get nuclear weapons.

Nice high-value target
Australia has also supplied Ukraine with M-777 howitzers and ammo.
i did not realize that towed was an advantage in ukraine. thanks. makes a lot of sense. no wonder the UA is in love with it! slava ukraine. my view of the war? the world is against putin/hitler. always has been. in the USA this war is one of the few things that goes across party lines. i'm really proud of the way the USA has responded.
British Howitzer, used by USA , and other countries:
The M777 is manufactured by BAE Systems' Global Combat Systems division. Prime contract management is based in Barrow-in-Furness in the United Kingdom as well as manufacture and assembly of the titanium structures and associated recoil components. Final integration and testing of the weapon is undertaken at BAE's facility in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
I think they make the gun barrels in Waterlivit New York. Oldest arsenal in the US.
Upon taking over responsibility for the weapon BAE 'Americanised' to a large degree the construction and assembly through its US-based BAE Systems Land and Armaments group. The M777 now uses about 70% US-built parts including the gun barrel, which is manufactured at the Watervliet Arsenal.
@@jafr99999 Understood. But just because it uses the parts from USA. Don't mean it is US weapon. It is like Nissan car using parts from USA. It is still a Japanese car lol. Anyhow, UK and USA are often collaborating on weapon's, eg: Lockheed Martin F-35B . Notice the B at the end, before commenting ;)
@@flash-dk1cc actually if its made in the us then it is very much a us weapon, Americans paid for, supplied & continues to build it in massive numbers.

Yes but it's limited horizontal angle of fire leaves the crews and forces vulnerable to a cavalry charge . It won't be long before the penny drops for the russians and they'll summon the Cossacks to the conflict theatre .

Crazy that my teenage niece was trained to operate one of those M777. Crazier still, hearing her tell everyone at Thanksgiving dinner, step-by-step, how to prep, load, re-load, etc all the various types of ammo. Guess artillery was a better fit than cosmetology, where she dropped out to go full time Army.
What a story! I hope your niece will stay safe and healthy.

Awesome! Thank you for raising what sounds like an incredibly patriotic, and really cool American daughter! Her service is surely appreciated by me, please tell her thank you from my family.
God bless you, and your family Keith.
Thank your niece for her service.
Well it is not bayonet charges anymore, so we need to get used to it. It still makes me cringe when a female is captured. The Russians are no better than ISIS.
Well, Kick azz. Literally.
That's good on the U.S.A. !
Very informative! Thank you. It could just be my imagination, but the carnage visited upon that Russian armored battalion which attempted to bridge the Donets River makes one think that the ultra-precision of the M777, as maybe coupled with Excalibur, was responsible?
i really suspect so.
I thought so too. Lots of burnt-out vehicles, hardly any shell craters next to them.
I hope they use the excalibur round wisely, not many to go around. Most of the ordnance is old school, but the longer range will more than help also.
Excalibur's accuracy is reportedly better than 10 metres.
I know that they used SU-25's to attack one of the bridges at least as well as artillery. The Ukrainians have been plenty accurate with their 152 and 122mm guns but the issue is that they are running out of rounds for them. They were produced in Lugansk and they have been using strategic reserves for years now. Same for the 5.45x39mm rounds for their AKS-74's. They have also chewed through a lot of the ammo that the Baltic countries and Romania and Bulgaria had. I doubt they have competed training for many battery crews for the 155mm guns yet.
Give Russia a taste of their own medicine.
Thank you America for support of Ukraine!

Slava Ukraini! Heroyam slava!
My heart is with you guys.
In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land.
The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus.
Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author.
Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate.
Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation.
Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention...........

Howitzer has almost twice the range of the Russian artillery as well as GPS capabilities with 1 shot, 1 hit and can also track mobile units. Russia has now more than met its match! It should just start running towards Moscow now.
M777 has 5 miles more range with standard loads. Russia is jamming gps. Excaliber rounds are VERY expensive. I have not seen confirmation any were provided. Without gps they would not be so accurate; however, IF real time gps positions of the gun battery and the targets can be provided from intelligence, very effective hits may be acheived.
Extremely nasty. Awesome
@@ghimmy47 Fire can be adjusted using drones loitering at the target. 50 years ago we used a forward observer to adjust fire- no such thing as GPS and we were just as accurate.
There are other factors affecting accuracy such weather, tube life (velocity error), powder temperature and rotation of the earth.
Systems without GPS are arriving in Ukraine, as the howitzer could be captured by the Russians. The firing range in this case is 24.7 km.

777 you also left out one more completion ...👍👍👍😎
For those not familiar with 155 mm metric sizing. Its slightly over 6 inches in diameter. A howitzer is halfway between a cannon which fires at a straight trajectory, and a mortar which has a high level of ascent and descent. As a result a howitzer round lands on top of a tank as opposed to a tank round that strikes at a tanks thickest armour points. When that 6 inch round hits the top of that tank, the kinetic energy alone will disable the crew but the blast will literally eveporate anything inside the tank. Russians know they are up against vastly superior weaponry now. That's why they want to just go back home. NATO would mop the floor with Russia.
@Richard,
Well said man, thanks!
This is no longer a miracle cannon, but an ordinary weapon, of which there are plenty. You can ask a legitimate question - why? And all because it is a tool for the Ukrainian front, devoid of electronics, so that it would not get to the Russians. The superweapon has been turned into a pumpkin.
Apparently they draft Ukrainians and send them forward against the Ukrainian army.
Suffice to say, the tank crew will vaporize (as in vanish from existence), and the tank will be destroyed beyond repair. Yah don't need to know the physics.
The metric system is a fad that will never catch on.
Artillery is called the King of Battle
Something worth noting, that the video was inaccurate on: the Excalibur shell is not a guided missile, it is a guided shell. Additionally, it does not have a jet engine, it simply has attached stabilizers that fold out mid flight that allow it to glide to the target.
I was pretty sure that jet engine sh1t was false.
it has a jet or rocket booster. Hence the extra 10 miles of range
@@viceroyviceroy-wj7cf It has a _rocket_ booster. There are no jet engines, capable of withstanding the g-forces an artillery shell experiences at the moment of firing.
They use what is called base bleed. They have some propellant in the back that vents gas in the area just behind the shell. It works by making them much more aerodynamic by filling what is normally a super low pressure zone directly behind the shell that creates a high amount of drag. By increasing the pressure in this zone drag is reduced and range is increase up to 35% on some rounds. Base bleed doesn't produce any thrust though like a rocket does.
"Potato-Potahto" but the information is still interesting. . . Thank You.
Things just keep getting worse and worse for Putin. You LOVE to see it!! 😆
"45,000 shells went with the first batch of 19 M777 Howitzers, and 145,000 shells went with the second batch of 72 Howitzers, up to 50,000 of the shells are of the Excalibur type"!

Hello dear
The advantages of an under 5 ton towed weapon includes separability from the propulsion in case of damage or breakdown, airlift capability via large transport and on the battlefield via helicopter, reduced cost per firing unit and reduced training time for operation. The gun shows what situational planning can accomplish in the field of heavy weapons. Several guns to one isn’t a small advantage. I’m impressed with the US Army and so are our potential foes.

@@Redfvvg Alex, It’s unclear which 155 ammunition is being supplied. The weapon is indeed GPS capable and more, can fire auto homing ammunition as well as stupid shells.

I hope they end up sending the M109A6 to Ukraine, I think that the fact that it's self propelled and comparable to the M777 to range can be a real game changer. They definitely need more artillery pieces that have long range.
Norway sent 20 units of its M109A3GNM L/39 155 mm long-range haubitz/howitser to Ukraine last week. They have been replaced with the K9 Thunder and K10 in the Norwegian Army since 2019. The A3GNM (German-Norwegian evolution) is older than the A6 Paladin, but were upgraded/modernized in 2007: new barrel is longer, loader improvements, intercom + nav + positioning systems are up to date, and the full upgrade cost fromA3GN to A3GNM (Modified) was USD 4.5 million per unit... The 20 will do the job, too, and with the same range as the other NATO 155 mm. Not sure about which ammunition types or quantities sent, but I would guess from Nammo's (Raufoss) product range.

They can focus on sending the ones they can tow, and eventually the tracked vehicles can catch up to them. Rather have them send those artillery pieces now rather than later as things could turn more dire for the Ukrainians, and we will be trying to rush them in. Besides that those vehicles could also be loaded onto tractor trailers if needed.
Great Britain, Germany and I think France have calso committed 155mm SPGs to Ukraine too.
@@brucelamberton8819 Add to that list also Canada (22 April: sending M777 long-range towed howitsers) and the Netherlands (25 April: sending Panzerhaubitze PzH 2000 long-range tracked howitsers).
From Ukraine With Love.
Good work USA 🇺🇸 👏 for your support Ukraine 🇺🇦 Army for such a powerful tools..
I have a friend who grew up in the Ukraine. He has left the country. I am sad for every life lost, because of one man. But the Russians must go. Great work Ukraine.
I giggled just a bit watching this and thinking about the world of hurt Russia is about to get.
Okay, so just a few things:
1. It’s actually 144,000 rounds at the very least.
2. It’s a total of 90 M777, 18 from the 1st aid package then 72 from the 2nd. This was before lend lease was signed. The package also includes 72 tactical trucks to tow these howitzers.
3. Australia (6) & Canada (4) also sent Ukraine a number of M777, making the total of 100 howitzers for Ukraine. ( USA (90) )
Please check your sources.
It's warmed over old info with an updated title. Pathetic. The images are old USA footage also. The first use of the M777 in Ukraine is on another channel, with the unit tucked into the trees and half the image heavily pixelated for security reasons.
It's also a British developed howitzer.
In conjunction with America.
@@fuzfire Yeah, Americans can usually tell a good thing when they see it (then convince themselves they thought of it) - BTW, I'm neither British or American.
Add to that 20 pieces of M109 L/39 155 mm self-propelled howitzers from Norway, arrived in Ukraine earlier this week.
I so miss how much fun it was to be eyes for these kind of weapons, I loved watching and feeling the explosions! Twisted Fister
Stalin called artillery the god of war. In the U.S. it’s referred to as the “King of Battle”. 💥🔥
Do not forget the Queen of battle; FOLLOW ME!
@@lynngrieshaber7334 Hard to forget, when EVERY infantryman with inferiority complex reminds us at any opportunity....
Indeed the King….."?
My father was an infantry sergeant in Payton’s Third Army (CIB, Purple Heart etc.). The only story of a German solider surrendering to him personally that he told me about was one that came out (with his hands in the air), yelling, “comrade, comrade, BOOM, BOOM, no good, BOOM, BOOM, no good). Apparently the only English he knew. Being on the receiving end, Artillery quickly “wears on ya”…if it doesn’t kill you outright!
this is unbelievable, the delivery of M777s to Ukraine is THE most significant event in this century. Russia was confident because Ukraine never had any advanced weapons like this...everything has changed now. I can't imagine the fear in the Russian ranks when they heard the news of M777 delivery, this is fear factor, a lot of them have refused to return to the battle, there is no hope for Russia now, they have already turned into defensive and the liberation of entire Ukraine should be complete in the next 3 weeks.
The best explanation on the M777 so far. Thank you.
Canada sent them a battery of these babies too, make it rain troops make it rain :D Slava Ukraine :D cheers
Hello
As an Australian, I'm proud at the end that you show shots of an Australian donated M777 ( the kangaroo icon is a give away) with the added "United with Ukraine". Defending democracy is not cheap - Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy.
Ukraine thanks Australia for there Bushmasters as well!!🇦🇺🇺🇦
Most Australians support Russia only government follows like puppets, we are a nation starting to see the lies from Covid to this ukronazi war
@@damianvovna6468 Our pleasure! Love seeing you guys send Putin's thugs packing.
Right on digger, Commonwealth buddy,,🇨🇦✊🇺🇦
Yep no one else puts Skippy on their gear
Work harder Americans, other countries need your money. American is every country’s piggy bank.
Finally very happy to see American big guns in the hands of the amazing people of Ukraine stay safe kick butt prayers from the USA and Slava Ukraine
Ukraine should thank Germany too. They are giving the second largest weapons gifts to Ukraine and it will cost the Germans 70 Billion dollars per year extra for having to purchase much more expensive gasoline and natural gas from the middle East to keep their country running so their financial sacrifice is VERY LARGE!!! I do not think people realize how much Germany is helping with weapons while punching a massive hole into their economy since they get 70% of their fuel from Russia at very cheap pricing. They have also laid 650 Billion dollars worth of pipe lines over the past 45 years that crisis-cross Europe like a spider web and it is all wasted spending now as they all get turned off at the end of the year.
You obviously don’t know that the “American” 777 Howitzer is actually a Uk design from BAE systems here in Great Britain 🇬🇧
Don’t you mean British big guns supplied by BAE here in UK. You Americans are very selective in your praise
@@lesrayner4644 i wouldnt worry mate, theres a reason the brits didnt want them, and we will be finding out the reason why pretty quick, then watch the brits get the praise for it in a turned around hypocritical way, and that magic bullet they go on about, still slides in the paladin and its bloody expensive, so not many will be reaching ukraine, nothing like making a killing from a country on its knees by flogging a dead horse and making money from obsolete kit, its about self propelled or quick manual moving pieces and that aint one of them... Like a certain US made something as destroyed a Tank some sources say, shit hundreds have been destroyed before the fingers was pulled out their arses and sent the javelin...anybody would think there winning it....
Send'em more shells and tell them to "Blast Away".
This channel is so underrated thank you for the great content keep it coming
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
These are going to be a game changer. That weapons system can put a 95lb explosive shell into a trash can from 25 miles away. You cannot get anymore badass than that.
For anybody still unsure of the significance of this weapon, a 155mm projectile is virtually the same size as used on naval cruisers during WW2. My father used a slightly bigger piece of artillery during WW2 and scored a direct hit on a very large German tank (Tiger) which blew it to pieces. This weapon will level things up significantly for the Ukraine army.
*Light cruisers made for killing destroyers and other lightly armed cruisers.
Heavy cruisers used 8 inch (203mm) cannons. This is actually part of the historical definition of a Light/Heavy Cruiser for the US. Of course, other countries used a different system entirely.
Yeah, it's essentially a 6" Gun but with rocket assisted range and guidance these things are going to outclass anything Russia has.
Good. Yup‼ G-G 🚎🚚🚢🚁🚀🌌🌠🌟🌩🌀🚀🔥🥾👖👕🧣🪖😠😤😡🤬🤬💣💫🕳💥🥀☠💀👻👻👉👍👌👀👀
you people keep on cheering for the Azov Nazi's... idiots.
The round is larger and more destructive than the main gun on the US's Abrams Main Battle Tank (120mm).
The 155mm is a very good cannon the only one i like better is the 8" howitzer 4th inf. div. Pleiku, vietnam.
MAY THE UKRAINIANS FIGHT FOR THEIR FREEDOM BE VICTORIOUS"
ALL THOSE FIGHTING FOR UKRAINE RETURN BACK TO THEIR FAMILIES SAFELY AND THE RUSSIAN ARMY BE DESTROYED. BLESS ALL THOSE COUNTRIES STANDING WITH UKRAINE IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES.
USA needs to give Ukraine more of these guns & a better way to deploy them.
It's about time that Ukraine got some modern offensive firepower
Dont worry. Rand Paul will do his best to delay more aid. The guy who beat the crap out of him should have finished the job. Fn pos.
It's the aiming system that makes this gun lethal. 100% target strike.
What do people think about the war? I think is amazing that Putin hasn't grown a very specific mustache since that seems to be his inspiration. At least fir Ukraine the Russian army isn't the same quality as the Germans
They are merely a barbarian horde!
A Stalin mustache?
@@flechette3782 i think he means the mustache no wider than a nose. i caught on when he said germans
@@laughingcloud3516 Stalin...Hitler...it's all about the mustache!
You're right, the Russians are Ukraine's worst nightmare you do know what happened to the German army don't you once Russia got done with them. What some 2.5 million German men met their fate in Russia, so be careful of what you wish for.
God Bless all that got us involved in Putin and Biden’s Wars ! The Ukraine 🇺🇦 is the New Maccabees !
This not a war against men but against the evil of of Darkness.
Father may the ones. Who lost there lives gain peace and rejoice in paradise with Jesus Amend .
Thank you father for defunding those who are Opposed , especially the believers . Thank you father for Answering my Prayers in the Padt , the present ,in the future .
I love you God ! Praise your Holy Name ! Hallelujah
Interestingly the video never mentions who makes the M777 - BAE Systems. The "B" in BAE stands for "British". Real interesting how this video fails to mention that.
Reflected glory hound.
Well, you just did.
Have the yanks tooled up for it's manufacture maybe ? They were making merlin engines ww2, I believe they tooled up to make the Australian bushmaster which I thought originally was French.
@@normanwells2755 No I think Tatters20 was just pointing out a small but relevant fact ... which i am sure was an accidental oversight (as suggested by the title of the clip ) by the busy people at Military News ...
I saw a video about the history of this weapon BAE is a British company that makes this. They may make the laser guided shell too.
Ukraine is so brave and inspirational to the world, the reason for NATO is to fight for the freedom nations of the world. Ukraine should be accepted into NATO as a peace loving freedom loving country as well. I wish them a great victory over their treacherous, evil and cowardly enemy. Ukrainians will always be remembered as heroes, those Russians that support Putin will forever be remembered as cowards, those Russians who do not, will be also heroes in the eyes of human kind. Strength of character to all the heroes to bring victory to the peace loving people of the world, we together will always prevail against tyranny.
"Ukraine Used An American M777 155mm Howitzers To Destroy Russia"
Holy shit! Just how powerful are these things if they can destroy an entire country?!
A bit of embellishment. A Spirit Ball may have been used.
Wait until you see the planet - busting version 😳
The voice of RUclips this guy is a legend !
155mm + Starlink = obliteration
Starlink is not a substitute gps constellation, although some independent researchers were able to obtain fair coordinates by signal triangulation. GPS incorporates atomic clocks to achieve 10m accuracy. In surveying, if a known gps base position can be added to the satellite signals, accuracy can be in a sewing thimble. I have no idea if our newest, military gps satellites are available to Ukraine. I would doubt it. They are not all launched yet.
@@ghimmy47 According to the Pundits on CNN: 4 point Sat is available to the Ukies. 8 Digit targeting is as well.
@@ghimmy47 GPS is much more precise than that.
How many of these did we leave in Afghanistan?
Use these cannons to pin point Russian troops around the steel mill and give the troops in the steel mill a way out ! This needs to be done NOW !
Very true words
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amen I was just about to say that very thing and while they are at it lob a few of those rocket powered shells into a Ruski town and give'em some of what those bastards have dished out to the Ukrainians. We are far too afraid of Russia as to their Sabre ratting of nukes. They know they will be destroyed as much as any nation they hit. Just because the have hypersonic nukes doesn't make the older nuke unusable. Afterall it only takes a few to hit and business as usual is untenable!
@@deleaptealeaf8935 Yes, Mariupol is likely stranded, it'd be difficult to even cut the Russian supply lines that supply the Russian attackers since supply lines likely extend along the coast both from the west through Crimea and through the east through the Dombas. Ukraine would have to take out both the Crimea/Russia bridge, somehow interdict the road east of Mariupol and maybe roads leading northwards through the Dombas to cause the Russians to retreat, each would be difficult individually but accomplishing all nearly impossible. But who knows? I'd like to see Ukraine try.
Very informative and helpful video. Good fortune Ukraine 🇺🇦 forces and God bless your bravery and effort! Mark
It'll be interesting to see if Ukrainians are able to use the M777 to great effectiveness.
They''ve already been using what they already have fairly well.
There's something so uniquely American about a Howitzer with a trailer hitch sticking out of the front of the barrel.
It's british
Canada sent 4 units about 4 weeks back. All with upgraded rounds from the American version.
These are the most accurate 777 units around.
4???
Just 4?
@@nekoericson5256
They have been using them for a month, while American units are just being used now.
And again these are upgraded rounds from the American version.
Just as Canadan military equipment is always upgraded above the rest .
Doesn't matter what military systems you're talking about they are always a cut above the rest after the Canadian military gets their hands anything.
@@grantjohnston7148 we should look for their field toilets. maybe they have upgraded them also to an incredible level. they will be able to widstand several shitloads. so canadian toilets are the best.
The better the Ukrainians do against Russia, the better for Europe and all Western countries.. Give them 🇺🇦 MORE weapons Fast .
Fantastic!
The 155mm M777 has a range of 25 miles with the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) and a range of 40 miles (during testing) with High-Explosive Rocket Assisted (HERA). Both are high precision circular error probable (CEP) of 4 m. They can be towed quickly, deployed, fired, and moved to avoid counter battery fire. The US Army posted some good videos of the testing at Yuma in 2020 hitting a car at a range of 40 miles. .
God. be with UKRAINE! Russia,. Get out of Ukraine NOW!!
8:16 Australian M777s in Ukraine.
I am a wee bit confused here ..... an "American" M177 155mm Howitzer .... that is unless i am mistaken is designed and manufactured by BAe Systems (the BAe bit standing for "British Aerospace ") ?
