CAESAR Self-Propelled Howitzer 155mm The Best of its Kind?! Proved by Armed Forces of Ukraine!

[@leneanderthalien]

the Ukrainian army has long recognized the interest of this type of artillery and began to develop its own "Caesar" as early as 2018: the Bohdana 2S22 prototype, based on a Ukrainian truck, also equipped with a 155mm NATO canon with a 52 caliber tube (+8 meters long) allowing a similar range. It finalized its optimization campaign in the first months of 2022 and if it is overall a little less efficient than the French Caesar, it made it possible to chase the Russians from Snake Island who had to run for they lives, operation made with the help of a Bayraktar TB2 used for artillery fire adjustment

[@Whatisthisstupidfinghandle]

Yes. I think a Ukraine had only built one when the war started. Seems very similar to Caesar to me. Either way it’s a good design and approach

[@miladinseratlic5984]

so.. who is now the boss on Snake Island? Ua army?? I don't think so...

[@BFVK]

Encore une analyse un peu foireuse d'analyste... "with a 52 caliber tube (+8 meters long) allowing a similar range" Sauf que la porté maximale du CAESAR est obtenue grace aux obus spéciaux, pas grace au tube... Obus fabriqués en Allemagne que la France achète une petite fortune, l'Ukraine va aussi se ruiner avec de tels obus ? Ton analyse ne le dit pas...

[@189951]

I am very proud that my country France has offered Ceasar guns to Ukraine and I hope that this will allow its army to have a decisive advantage in this war and that it will allow it to win its freedom and save its democracy from Putin's mafia dictatorship! Slava Ukraini 💙💛

@@albo8404 So me as a Frenchman, to understand where is my interest in the war in Ukraine, I ask myself a very simple question, if you had to choose between immigrating to the USA or to Russia, my choice is immediately made, it will be the USA, because even if it is an imperfect democracy, it has at least the merit to exist, which is not the case in Russia, where the political opposition, the media of opposition, the journalists, association... are quite simply forbidden by the force, the intimidation... Now if you think that Europe is submissive to the USA, you are mistaken, France was opposed to the war in Iraq under Bush Sons, because it knew thanks to our intelligence services, that Saddam Hussein did not hold weapons of mass destruction as Dick Cheney and Colin Powell had affirmed it in front of the American senate and the assembly of the UNO !!! And our foreign minister Mr. Dominique de Villepin had made a scathing statement at the UN in front of the high American officials.

[@OlTrailDog]

I'm confident that Ukraine is pleased with whatever weaponry they receive as each type has it's advantages and disadvantages whether it is a CAESAR, Panzerhootn2000, HIMARS, or M777. For example a M777 is much less expensive and can be towed by wheeled or tracked vehicles and multiple M777 (or many more standard 155mm howizters) can be purchased for the price of one mobile howitzer. In reality, too much talk and not enough actually getting the weaponry to Ukraine.

[@deepsteep4748]

I get your point, but do the ukrainiens have to pay for these artillery peaces tho? Otherwise you are right, it is cheaper for the US to send M777, than for France to send Ceasars and M777s can be send in greater numbers/ should be quicker to produce for further deliveries. On the battlefield, i don't think thr M777 has an advantage - less mobile, less range.

@@frankmontez6853 The spanish leopard 2´s were not blocked by germany, spain never filed the export request. They just entertained the thought of exporting them, but then took a closer look at the stored Leo2A4E´s they were talking about. about 1/3 are without weaponry or even turret, they sat in non sustained storage for 10+ years and are beyond quick repairs. 10 would be salvagable within the next 6-10 months. As the german military has next to no stocks, germany is sponsoring the ukrainian equipment aquisition with 1.4-2.5b€ in direct payments and another 1b via the EU. This is in addition to the equipment germany delivers free house, like the 10 PzH2000, 30 Gepard SPAA, 15k anti tank mines, RPG´s, MANPADS, Field Hospitals, Field Ambulances etc etc etc And prior to the Invasion germany was the largest single donor to Ukraine, even outstretching US financial donnations, if the german EU contribution to Ukraine is counted in.

[@Au60schild]

@@deepsteep4748 I don't think the question revolves around only sending the very best howitzer system but to send as many modern howitzer systems as possible to Ukraine. You know, the old saying that quantity has a quality all it's own - death by a thousand cuts. The Caesar sounds great and perfect for the Ukrainians. I'm glad that all these offensive and defensive systems are getting through to where they're needed most.

With the ram jet gps rounds u can hit targets out to 80 miles. It comes down to what rounds you are using. There are gps guided smart rounds gps rocket rounds and new gps ramjet rounds that have target acquisition and engagement if the target moves when in flight it can adjust or pick another target out to hit all so can come down in a very steep angle so hiding behind walls or on other side of Moutan’s is no longer a shell shadow for them.

True, but you will only have a limited amount of these rounds available, so it is good to have artillery with a great standard-ammunition-range and accuracy. 👍

[@zhufortheimpaler4041]

depends on the gun. 2S19 Msta has about similar range (just slightly shorter) to NATO guns. M109A3 delivered by norway has a short barrelled gun and thus has shorter ranges than modern 155mm L/52 guns

[@beefy1212]

@@deepsteep4748 That is actually a misunderstanding of how these systems are used... They are driven right up to the front to fire 30+ km behind the lines and then they run like hell. this is what makes mobile platforms like the Paladin or Caesar so effective. Towed guns you might sit 60-80% of their range behind the front and support the front lines, mobile guns are used to reach out and touch the enemy where they think they are safe many miles behind the front and beyond the range of their own guns.

[@deepsteep4748]

@@beefy1212 Sorry, i probably didn't communicate very well what i meant. I meant it exactly like you did. Clearly, mobile artillery does "shoot and scoot" to avoid counter battery fire. What i meant with "sits more than 30 km away from the frontline" is, that i don't know, how Russia should have captured some Ceasars, when the russian troops don't make enough ground to even come close to Ceasars theoretic range. I mean, Russia wouldn't even have the chance to capture them, if the Ceasars would only "sit" there 30 km behind the frontline. ;)

@@beefy1212 Do you really think, they would drive closer to the front, than they had to? Because i certainly didn't hear of a russian breakthrough or at least a the russians altering the frontline by more than a few km in the last time. All they do is grinding slowly through two cities in Luhansk, kilometer for kilometer. And i don't think they would use their Ceasars that close to the frontline. It makes bo sense.
