You should consider the fact that in Russia, there are a lot of levels of artillery on different chains of command. MSTA-S uses long chain, Peony requires high command autorization for special payload, but stuff like Akatsiya is infantry-level, belongs to the unit it rolls with and bossed around on same level as any BMP it reinforces.

"Artillery is the god of war," said French General Jean Batiste Vaquet de Griboval. Especially 203mm with nuclear shells, you can't hide, you can't protect yourself. If they are closer than 40 km, just run, but you will still just die already tired. Artillery is not only 152-mm, but also 122-mm self-propelled amphibious guns. And 120-240-mm mortars, which are capable of throwing a 100-kiloton mine directly into your trench. If you can't knock them out first, you're already dead. And you can't, because there are too many air defense systems there. You can't suppress them with your artillery, because you haven't had anything like this for a long time, you relied too much on aviation.

Good video, but not 100% precise. Firstly, any battery has an organic supply section of two to three trucks (I've forgot exact number). Second, battery commander has a direct link with his battery FDC, he don't really need a battalion commander to translate his orders to his own battery. If a battery in a direct support with a company, the battery CP is only translating his orders to the battalion CP to keep it informed of it's actions, ammo comsumption and overall intelligence, and receive orders from it in case of, say, immediate concentrated fire of the battalion. Generally it's depends on plan of artillery employment which is called a fire plan (it's beyond the scope of just some preliminary barrages)

When you don't have an all powerful airforce, you need artillery. The German army used to field a lot of artillery too.

Of course that was one of the first things to go when they made that idiotic shift towards a "peace keeping and nation building" army in the 90s.

Damn, I fell in love with your channel. Such a wonderful example of ruzzia apologists in the comments. Can't wait to read more in future videos, I hope you'd pick the same title and content for the next video. Popcorn is reserved for sure fella!

If you feel being harassed in the office, think that in the field you can be harassed by 152 mm HE-FRAG shell.

[@alexkrylewski3218]

Don't even need to imagine, lol. Also, 120mm mortar.

Do you plan on doing any historical stuff on the Soviets? I.e how Cold War Soviet doctrine differs from modern Russian Doctrine, the basics of Deep Battle, etc.

[@Ailasher]

"I.e how Cold War Soviet doctrine differs from modern Russian Doctrine" I don’t think anyone outside the competence of a CIA analyst or a Russian Army staff officer can handle this, especially as part of a short video on KZbin. Basic: no, it's not drift much, cos equipment and personnel training process. But yes: БТГ (battalion tactical group) level. But no: soviet staff concentrated control and planning. But yes: new types of equipment implanting into the command chain, such as drones, provide real-time control and much faster response. It's very difficult. The Russian Armed Forces are not involved in such a number of local conflicts and wars to adopt the decentralized control tactics that exist in the US Armed Forces. At the same time, it's precisely such wars that are being waged now. Therefore, the army is forced to adapt to them, without losing the ability (at least in theory) to lead large scale war with the NATO bloc, that surrounded the Russia an even tighter ring than it was in the days of the USSR.

The maximum combat reach of the US artillery was 30 km with smart ammunition, maybe the"bad guys" are only out at that range, or they were unable to discover enemies at further range, but ayway, 30 km was the maximum US used combat range.

[@chaosXP3RT]

Was the maximum range? Or is?

[@chaosXP3RT]

What weapon systems are we talking about? The M777 or Paladin, or????

[@jamesmerkel1932]

The US ERCA sytem has a range of 70km...

[@username_3715]
