oh yeah [Music]
according to the latest figures from the Ukrainian Armed Forces 3675 Russian tanks
have been destroyed since the invasion of Ukraine began 14 months ago while the Russian
defense Ministry claims its forces have destroyed a thousand eight hundred and nine enemy tanks the
Ukrainian military has repeatedly shared online footage of Russian tanks being targeted and many
Western analysts say Russia has suffered heavy tank losses at Ukrainian hands during the war
in the footage a t-80 tank is seen firing to the left in an area of destroyed buildings and debris
the t-80 is a Russian main battle tank designed under the Soviet Union and first entered service
in 1976. despite being involved in successful military campaigns such as the first Chechen
War it was vulnerable to melee attacks using the West's shoulder-mounted missile launcher
although the tank models had increased range due to their mobility and speed
they also suffered from the fact that their main guns had limited vertical
range a version of the t-80 tank is in service with Ukrainian forces which have
also been put into service which they managed to take without being destroyed
oh my God
the M77 Howitzer is a towed 155 millimeter artillery piece it is used by the ground
forces of Australia Canada India Saudi Arabia Ukraine and the United States [Music]
777 is the artillery system for the striker Brigade combat teams the M77 is normally
operated by a crew of eight men but can be operated with a reduced attachment of five
the systems fitted with the digital fire control system are designated m77a1 and
those with the software update that allows the firing of the Excalibur projectile m77a2
[Music] the M77 matches the Firepower of current generation 155 millimeter toad systems at less
than half the weight the Howitzer is equipped with a 39 caliber Barrel the muzzle velocity
at charge 8 Super is 827 m s the maximum firing range is 24.7 kilometers with unassisted rounds
and 30 km with rocket assisted rounds the M77 A2 can fire the Raytheon slash buffers
XM 982 Excalibur GPS slash inertial navigation guided extended range 155 millimeter projectos
using the modular artillery charge systems mscs Excalibur has a maximum range of 40 km and an
accuracy of 10 meters the M77 is able to deliver up to five rounds a minute under intense firing
conditions and is able to provide a sustained rate of fire of two rounds a minute [Music]
IP systems employ an optical siding system for direct and indirect firing by day or night
the tid digital fire control system provides on-board ballistic computation
navigation pointing and self-location providing greater accuracy and faster
reaction times and also includes a laser ignition system electric drives for the
howitzers Traverse an elevation and a powered projectile rammer
thank you
the M77 has a production weight of 3745 kilogram and can be transported by helicopter transporter
aircraft and ship the Howitzer can be towed by an air brake 4x4 vehicle greater than 2.5 ton horsman
defense systems of the UK provided the hydro strut suspension system the maximum towed Road
speed is 88 kilometers slash hour and the towed cross-country speed is 50 kilometers slash hour

won a one pack Howitzer was the standard Howitzer for American forces in World War II
the pack design actually Trace its roots back to the Howitzer development of World War One
standardized in the American Army post-war as the M1 the M1 a one of the second world war featured
a short barrel could reach a sustained rate of fire of three to six rounds per minute with a
capable crew and had a range of roughly 9 610 yards 8790 meters foreign [Music]
was purposely engineered to be light easily transportable and operated by a small crew
which worked well in favor of light divisions such as Airborne units as evident in the M8
variant of the pack the high explosive shell of the M1 pack Howitzer weighed 6.3 kilograms
the weapon system could be used for suppression assault defense and limited anti-tank Duty
further developments enable better cross-country Mobility
[Applause]
Pat howitzers garnered their pack designations by the idea that pack animals could tile the
lightweight system most common in World War one but not uncommon in World War II for either side
the system was designed to be easily taken apart in multiple pieces the
M1 Carriage could be taken down to a total of six parts while the gun
system could be taken down to nine parts for this very purpose [Music]
the N1 a one saw action in Arnhem with the British being dropped by a glider in operation Market
Garden British troops also trained Yugoslavian partisans in the use of the weapon system seeing
some success in the mountain Warfare role the M101 saw action in the Far East jungles of the Pacific
Theater the ability of the system to be able to be broken down made it most advantageous in mounting
amphibious assaults needing artillery support immediately upon landing on the beaches [Music]
M101 pack howitzers were also trial on health track chassis and utilized a great effect in
this role as well overall the M101 became a classic piece of American artillery design
portable potent and very versatile the system went on to see a great many years
of Frontline Service as the standard light artillery weapon system [Music]
thank you fire breaking the Stillness of the air soldiers
