The reason Ukraine is doing better than the Russians is because Britain and America have been involved in training of Ukranian troops. At this very moment thousands of Ukrainian troops are in Britain where British and New Zealand troops are teaching them to use weapons such as the MRML and various artillery pieces such as the L119 gun. This is part of an ongoing effort to upgrade the Ukrainian army's training.

Not just UK and US... Lithuania after the 2014 annexation of the Crimea and basically trained the core of Ukrainian light infantry brigades. Russia expected an easy country to steam roll little better than what they encountered in 2014, what they found was an army that had been trained in NATO tactics that had been greatly upgraded equipment wise and the only saving grace Russia has is NATO hadn't completed the re-arming of Ukraine.

[@steventolliver9371]

I used to be a defense contractor technician on artillery systems years ago. The M109 system is now fully digitalized and has the latest in fire control and other systems that enable this weapons system to hit their targets on the first round. The best use of this system is to take out the Russian artillery units in the field and destroy the fortifications that have been erected in the occupied parts of eastern Ukraine. Along with the now fielded Himars and other anti-artillery/Materials systems, the balance of power can be shifted if enough of these weapons systems can be fielded. Now the Ukrainians have to also provide anti air assets to protect these artillery units, as to the Russians will be having the drones and other air assets out looking for them.

Shooting range is too short, not able to fire on russian artillery while being itself without of reach.

Some criticisms on this video. All are tied to the secondary armament. 1st The video states that the secondary weapon is a 2.7mm machine gun. There is no country in the world that uses a 2.7mm machine gun in any capacity. The gun shown in the video is a .50 cal M2 machine gun. 2nd the .50 cal machine gun M2 could be converted to 12.7mm, which would almost fit in with the video's 2.7mm spec, but they lost 10 mm in their description and the dialog. 3rd Since the Paladin is originally a United States weapons system, converting the .50 cal to metric disservices the weapon. The M2 is one of the most venerable and consistent weapons ever used in the U.S. arsenal. The WORLD knows it as the .50 cal M2 Machine Gun. So please, if you want to present yourself as a factual report on the specs of the Paladin, at least GET THE WEAPON SPECS RIGHT! Stop trying to make your report multi-national and stick with what the World knows the weapon is.

This is one of my favorite 155mm self-propelled artillery pieces which where used (Vietnam) in extensive combat offensive/defensive operations. For example, in the battle of Khe Sanh it was the M109 and the M107 artillery equipped units which prevented Khe Sanh from being overrun with hourly artillery barrages. In Vietnam it saved many units from being wiped out. The one I rarely see covered is the M107 175mm self-propelled artillery piece which can hurl shells up to a max of 25 miles. In Vietnam, they were quite numerous. I don't think they're produced anymore. The USA Army fell in love (plus cost justifications) with the "Paladin" featured here. But the M107 is still in service today with dozens of NATO and non-NATO Armed Forces. Would make a lot of sense to send some of these M107s to Ukraine from other NATO Armies since they probably are not in active use anymore. Maybe takes to long to bring the M107 up to spec given today's technology of precision artillery pieces.

But the US hasn't sent any. And the US hasn't sent enough toughed howitzers. Ever noticed the difference between the number of Russian tanks and the number of artillery pieces that have been destroyed twice as many tanks. To most effectively counter to the much greater number of Howitzer Russia has, Ukraine has to be able to destroy them. Hard to do if Russian guns can shoot as far as the Ukrainian guns. Which is were the bigger western gus come into play. There need to be enough of them, so that with radar to pinpoint the location of were the Russias are firing from, the Russian guns can be disposed of. That needs to be the primary use of the long guns. Smaller guns can then be used against tanks and APCs. If Russia is firing about 40000 shell a day into Ukraine, think of how many guns there using. Zelenski has said, that with enough heavy weapons Ukraine could regain all its territory in about two months. That isn't an inacret statement if Ukraine had enough big guns. Only the US has the number of guns needed to help Ukraine end this war in the shortest time. So, why isn't the US doing so.

I was in Viet Nam in 1968 and when we set up a battery of M-109 howitzers, in Viet Nam, My unit, the 3/13 artillery (The Clan) attached to the 25th infantry division (Tropic Lightning) used a 4-man crew on each M-109 because all the "Fire Direction Control (FDC) came from a cental location located on an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) which directed a battery of 6-M109s in an extended "W" formation and they all fired at the same time in the same direction based on meticulously surveyed in coordinates at the battery's location. The Fire direction control on the M-109-6 paladin is now using satellites and every gun can be directed by its own Fire Direction Control adding 2 more personnel on board eliminating the additional crews on a pair of separate APCs. Now all 6-crew members are trained on every aspect of the M-109 operation and can be swapped off if needed however the pay grades are different for each member and high pay grades get the more technical positions. In Viet Nam, the 3/13 Artillery had 3- M-109 batteries of 6 howitzers each making 18- M-109s for battery's A, B, C with D battery being made up of 4 - 8-inch self-propelled Howitzers. The weight if a 155-howitzer shell was 97 pounds while the weight of the 8-inch howitzer round was 235 pounds and needed hydraulic loading and handling of the shells and took longer to set up and feed ammo to and mostly stayed at the base camp, because they would not be good at "Shoot and Scoot". All the howitzers used "Bag Powder" to fire the projectile as you can see in one of the videos. Kill radius of a 155 shell was 50 meters and an 8-inch shell was 125 meters. Needless to say, you do not want to be on the receiving end of a Paladin.

What about deploying BAE's Blitzer which fires shells without the use of explosive materials and using electromagnetism instead but requires a genset and fuel to run both the genset and the vehicle.

The Russians cluster bombed a pair of self propelled artillery pieces a couple of days ago. And took out M-777 units with drones before the Ukrainians retreated from Sevierodonesk and the Luhansk region.

I agree we must send more

only 2 M-777 howitzer destroyed.. Ukraine still have 88 M-777 howitzer left.. Russia military

@@f-35lightningii6 but can only afford to fire 4000 shells per day from Mykolaiv to Kharkiv, where the Russians are raining down 50,000+ shells per day 24/7 on the Ukrainians resulting in 70% of their irreplaceable professional soldiers are now KIA. It looks like the writing is on the wall for Ukraine at this stage.

Save you some time, only the last 2 minutes are about the Paladin being used in Ukraine. The rest is a documentary about its development.

Did OSUT at Ft Sill on a1s. Went to the 2/33 FA and replaced the driver in my section (was unaware of how much more work it was to drive, but sure liked having a private hatch to stick my head out) in an a2 with 238 miles on it the first time I put it on a train, and when I left the Golden Lions I had put 2000 miles. and a new set of track on that beast. Went to Benning's School for 90 day wonder boys and girls and served as a FDO, XO and BC on a3s. If Ukrainian gunners get the a6 the Russians are toast. Fuking amateurs.

[@jamesstreet228]

Congress just passed a bill for funding to train Ukrainian pilots to fly the F15 and F16. I don't know what it's all about but, I can only think of one reason they'd be training pilots to fly these planes.

Good and informative vid about the Paladin but 1963 was not the "middle" of the Vietnam war. Beyond advisors, the US did not commit ground troops until 1965. You could say more accurately that 1969 was about the middle of the VN war.

[@rogerwilco5918]

How far back you wanna go? Heard of the French? The "middle" depends on your perspective.. from their perspective they've been fighting colonialism for hundreds of years, and we picked up where the French left off.

It's evident that asymmetrical warfare is effective against stronger more modern adversaries.
