ahhh thanks. i been wondering how to use mine, but i bought it 2nd hand at a car boot sale and it didnt come with the box or instructions. thank you Forces News for the tutorial
That's funny my wife took the instructions so she could read them than she put them down somewhere never to be seen again and started nagging me about reading the instructions before using it.
Worthwhile and prescient to show the choreography of artillery. Incredible to think the modern version is not too different to the beginnings of cannon as a decisive force. The impressive knowledge of the no1 and discipline of the team to coordinate. The physical effort and risk of injury, even without an enemy firing back! And the pressure of both urgency and accuracy, dependant on maths and precision adjustments. Then pack it all up, move to another site, set up and go again... Impressive.
The biggest difference is the bit they blurred. Whilst they talked about inputting data, i think the screen is for controlling the drone with a laser range finder on or something similar. Lands on the target first time now. A guy with binoculars and a radio would have been "walking" the shots onto the target back in the day. Saying left a bit, right a bit, shot by shot. Lots of countries give the 105mm stick as its such a small gun, but the UK and US use them becasue they know what theyre doing. You can lift them with chinooks and move them quickly. Chinooks dont get stuck in the mud. Lethal.
@@InquisitiveBaldMan The guns aren't usually controlled individually. Back in the day the man at the front line would have radioed the battery commander. Having a drone for each gun dosent seem likely, and i'd guess the screen is just a fancy tablet for imputing and calculating ballistics.
It took the crew 16 seconds to fire one round meaning only 3,75 rds/min. I think the choreography of the gun team looks slow and too parade-like. Opening the rear of the propellant case seems like something they could check beforehand.
Спасибо за краткий, но ёмкий рассказ о том, как артиллерийский рассчёт ведёт огонь из артиллерийского орудия (понятно, что из сигнальной, парадной и церемониальной пушки стреляют так же). Также мне очень понравилось, что инструктор и рассказчик с такой лёгкостью обращается с артиллерийским снарядом: он крепкий малый! :-)
And now we know how that is done...... A video on the different fuse types and settings you adjust on these shells would be interesting to see if that is not classified info. Also who determines how many bags of charge to put in the canister and what do the colors of the bags mean?
Different number of charges determines the range, so it will depend on the target. A professional will be able to give you the details! I have been on a range when the wrong charge was used. Nocked down a power line!
The information about the target (location, description, action required) is sent by the observer to a command post. The CP crew, using a computer, decides which gun(s) to be used to engage the target, then calculates the firing data (charge, bearing and elevation) taking account of numerous variables including meteorological data, barrel wear and rotation of the earth. The fire orders, including the firing data, are then sent to the gun(s). These orders will include the type and quantity of munitions and fuses, when to fire, and rate of fire. These orders are sent using either voice or digital communications, shown on the (blurred) display unit in front of the layer.
Would like to know what steps the guy with the cart is doing. Some kind of cover removal, color code check nside the cart, whacking the cart for some reason. Although I am an American English as a first language speaker, I might need to take a class in British mil-speak, rapid fire version.😊
USMC already uses the M119 which is roughly the same as L118 but has a shorter barrel and uses the older US 105mm HOW shells. Lots of those about but as a result it has a lower range. The L119 (UK designation of M119) was used by the UK for training only (the L118 is the operational gun model) until we exhausted our old stockpile of US 105mm ammo, they were then retired and are now used as Saluting Guns for ceremonial purposes. The Australian L119 were all retired but bought by BAE Systems for resale a few years ago, UK government has purchased them and sent to Ukraine.
Still waiting for them to give a tutorial on how to operate my RT-2PM2 Topol-M cold-launched three-stage solid-propellant silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile that I won in a chess match.
@@AtheistOrphan war is unpredictable. Experience shows that artillery positions might see themselves in a situation where they need to defend against tanks/AFVs.
This is NOT what the Ukrainians got from the USA. The USA sent them the M777 Howitzer. I’ve used both weapon systems in Afghanistan. The M777 is way more powerful and needs more crew to operate. The artillery rounds are 90lbs ea. The shoot, move, and communicate is the same. I don’t know how or who is sending the Deflection and Quadrant to the guns. But the process is about the same, you still need to drop the gun at zero to operate correctly. Colometer and the Gunner needs to be set before you start firing multiple rounds. The Section Chief of the gun is the most important part of the group. He verifies rounds and authorizes the firing
@@lakeslad29 Yeah that's true. The M119 does have a different barrel (Shorter with a percussion firing mechanism) and fires the US M1 type ammunition. In the UK this varient is called the L119 but as far as I am aware it is no longer in service.
@@stupitdog9686 Its a light gun firing a light projectile. The idea is you can move them quickly with chinooks because theyre light. No extras. Tactically this is an amaziing ability. Chinooks dont get stuck in the mud, and aren't restricted to roads, dont need bridges, etc... Ukraine could literally fly a gang of these over the dneiper... Many countries laught at the UK for using light guns... They dont know how to war...

Fired them once. The hard on it gave me was unbelievable
They're super fun
were you in the army?
Ah brilliant! The wife threw out the instructions for mine with the box it came in. Cheers!

You never know when would such knowledge come in handy
well the best use of this info at the moment is probably the fact that there will be a conscription soon according to the army chief 🤣

Can this thing fight tanks in direct fire?
In theory, but it wouldn't last long against a capable tank and crew ... so it will smash the 💩 out of loads of Orc tanks.
No, that’s not what howitzers do.

They are not

I don't think that was stated anywhere though. This is pretty similar to the US M119 though, cause it's a variant of this.
@@arfon2000 us 105mm has a shorter barrel and rounds are fixed, i.e carts and shell as one

Not such standing room
British- colonizator africa
why do these not use an autoloader?
This is a towed howitzer - an autoloader would make it too heavy
No point, simply lowers the reliability drastically and increases the maintenance, two things you don’t want.
It’s only a light gun (105mm), most light guns don’t use them. Also it’s almost 50 years old and autoloaders for towed artillery weren’t around then.
It's British ! Autoloaders cost money.
