I live near Fort Bragg in the US. I can hear the thundering booms of the M777 / 155mm every day as we train the Ukrainian solders on our howitzers. We are taking very good care of your men. They are getting the best combat training in the world. We stand behind you friends!

The barrel moving is taking the impact of the energy, so you dont have to re aim it...
Thanks for showing both ends... lots of videos show how troops fire the M777, but not many show the kaboom at the end... Of course, what type of shells being used alters the impact, but it is good to see that it is working...

I think it's because artillery operator usually can't even see their target
Its cool to see them find their rhythm and slowly get faster
I love the “finger in the ear” trick. Works all the time. It’s super loud at first, and it kinda hurts, but after that, can’t hear a damn thing at all!
I live about 40 miles from Fort Sill Army Base in Oklahoma and you can hear the booms from them firing, Ft. Sill is an artillery and training base.
Hot damn! That's my old battery! Only one in video I know is the section chief. Good dude. Had a Lotta fun times on the gun lines.
When the guy comes back from war, people will be like OMG you're a war hero! Tell us everything about what happened Guy: I just pull and it go big boom
Ruzzia nazy army will feel the love...
Rip thos soldiers hearing
Is this Ft. Sill? I just remember all through basic was the constant "thump" of 155mm and 105mm shells in the distance. Ft. Sill, home of the artillery.
I was at Bragg in the 90s. We were doing a all day ruck movement by squads in the summer it was utterly exhausting. Our water resupply was at Sicily DZ. We got our water and kept moving. Somewhere, not sure where its been many years, we were on a fire break when the whole world came to an end. Palladians fired over us from about 50 yards away. They had that camo netting over them. I thought we stepped on a landmine. I don't know or remember if we were somehow in the wrong place or both of us were in the right place. Imagine a 155mm going off and you're not behind it and you don't know its there.

Depends on weapon system and ammunition type. This is a 155mm 777 howitzer and they look like they are using HE (high explosive) rounds, so about 50 meter kill radius and max range of 24km.

The point is: there is NO civilian job that is equivalent to the military artillery duty. If u are an artillery guy in the military, u might have tough time finding a similar civilian job when u get out. U would have to go thru new training all over again.

To slow.
The speed of modern warfare makes that artillery emplacement obsolete; however, it is still useful against enemies like the Talibans but up against mobile peers like the Russians.....those guys are sitting ducks for counter battery firing....

not entirely true. Theyre good at preparing bombardments against armoured enemies or dug in enemies. They can help take out anti air batteries and anti tank batteries. They significantly decrease the morale of enemies. And, with the help of drones, they can easily take down troops moving through roads and cities.
