Great script, narration and production as always. Personally I find this channel to be one of the best on youtube when it comes to selecting innovative and intriguing weapon systems, be it a new or an old system.

[@kristofferhellstrom]

It's so weird watching this thing driving and moving around :D

[@khaldrago911]

Great video dude! I love your vids on the Scandinavian weapons systems!

[@ChandranPrema123]

13:23 The real reason why this regiment lost all 18 howitzers in just 25 was because of how much this thing was used that the barrels wore out of their life.

[@FairladyS130]

Barrels are replaceable.

[@ChandranPrema123]

@@FairladyS130 After scandal we didn't buy extra Barrels

[@user3141592635]

They are good for 5000 rounds, made of good Swedish steel, just like a high-powered rifle, do not lie upon me. The lifetime of a barrel is closely related to the steel composition and the burning temperature of the powder. Swedes have allways had a good knowledge of both, since the 1600's Gunpowder and barrels. Our Licenced 1898 Mauser Rifles were way better than the Germans dito as well.

[@luakabsalam1816]

Lost all 18 howitzers in just 25 ...months???

[@luakabsalam1816]

Hope replacement of the barrels were done; and the corrupt officials were charged, and placed in prisons.

I did my military service on the Haubits 77 15.5 cm !! A awesome "gun" 😉

Dear commentator, i am Indian Army , Artillery vetren, we lost no Boffers guns in this war. No gun was was even damaged by enemy action. I have got this checked from the Regiment u have mentioned Pl correct ur script Col kher, Artillery Indian Army( vetren)

[@WeaponDetective]

Thanks for your correction. We took the information from some Indian new sites, but we may misundertsood them.

[@JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

Thanks for the vid.

[@habahan4257]

Nice video as always. But, the FH77 defeated the G5 in the tender by bribery. The G5 would also be legendary in the Kargil War. Nevertheless, the FH77 is indeed a good howitzer.

[@shornsheep3118]

You have to bribe them. Even in the UN Indian guys expect bribes. You can't blame them. They have to bribe in their every day life in India.

[@kristofferhellstrom]

I love that the Archer uses the FH77. Proved and tested.

A fantastic system ahead of its time 👍🏻

[@patriotenfield3276]

The ATAGS and Dhanush are the off-springs of those Bofors who are also going to suceed ike their parents. nvtless , I love my GHN-45 .

[@PPSRHD]

I think ATGAS is more of a copy while the dhanus is also a copy with some modifications. It makes sense that Bofors isn't suing india as they themselves have discontinued it.

[@ChandranPrema123]

When Indian Army managed to get these things to 19,000ft India was literally able to defeat an army who had a height advantage of 30,000ft

[@Cptnbond]

Ofcourse it is better! FH77 was taking into service 46 years ago. Not fair statement, and did not the Danush barrel exploded several times.

[@yorisingrango9837]

@@Cptnbond No Dhanush(45cal) and ATAGS(52). ATAGS suffered one barrel burst.

[@mortil]

i have read that it was even a bigger bribe scandal to the Dhanush gun than the bofors one . not wierd as india is what india is.. .

[@Leptospirosi]

Looks very similar to the FH70, also an L39 gun: what are the main differences?

[@sameerthakur720]

Unlike the FH-70, this is self propelled. Its not fast but can move on its own for shoot-snd-scoot. It also has a mechanical loading assist system, an arm which can carry upto 3 projectiles at a time. Late, India has converted some of the howitzers to a 45 calibre standard rather than the original 39 caliber.

[@yatrikashish]

At 14.18, 286 Medium Regt of the IndianArmy DID NOT LOSE ALL IT'S 18 GUNS😡, in fact due to the intense and reletnless firing the barrels were worn out in 25 days. There IS A DIFFERENCE....... These were then replaced by guns from another Regiment. The worn out guns are still with us, we di NOT lose them.

[@hifzuliman1434]

12:57 Nooo. How could you do this. This is outrageous; it’s unfair, how can you have the high ground and not winning.

[@ChandranPrema123]

Imagine loosing a battle despite having a height advantage of more than 10,000ft. Mushraf literally caused this blunder and he calls this opertion sucessfull 😂

Hey brother, I was waiting for FH-77 Howitzers which is even used in Indian Army service.. you can also make a video on: 1. Arjun Family of tanks 2. Paramount M4 3. HAL ALH (exported to Maldives) 4. Tata WhAP (inducted as IPMV) 5. Pinaka MBRL (exported to Armenia) 6. NAMICA Tank Destroyer (China copied its designs to make HJ-10) 7.

only 1 gun was lost due to enemy action and that belonged to a different regiment.

[@AdurianJ]

The FH 77A was never modified to the B The guns ammo is not comåatoble that Sweden had the B is because Bofors had built the guns for India before the scandal broke

[@mattiasdahlstrom2024]

The 77A version could fire 3 rounds in 10 s, but the B version was down-graded to be more NATO compatible

[@mattiasdahlstrom2024]

Old memory, like the video states it was in 6-8s.

[@AdurianJ]

@@mattiasdahlstrom2024 It wasn't downgraded as much as NATO powder charges was harder to fire faster.
