#TOP10 #DarthDesigner #Howitzers - Наука та технологія
I'd say that Serbian NORA B-52 (especially modernized one) is the best price/quality ratio.
Very mobile, light, precise, durable and good range.
For $1.8M - $2M, it's a bargain. You have cars more expensive than that...
I deployed in the South African army with G5 and G6. Accuracy was incredible. Range even more so. 🇿🇦
61mech
The newest NORA B-52 has a rate of fire of 9 rockets per minute
Well done, one of the only vids I can find of self-propelled howitzers that has facts
the G6 has rocket driven rear ammunition that can do 120km range available kept in house and not exported. i speak from the country of origin with fellow engineers that work for the producers. the G6 has seen expensive combat on the African continent. its is exported to Saudi Arabia and a few other clients. speed is key to redeployment and there is nothing on the market that has its attributes if you look really closely at its specs.
Is the current max range tested not 83km?
I am from Pretoria, the G6 manages 120kmh on the
N 1 unless my cars+ speedometer is very far out!
Archer deserves first place since it is the best. It is also the fully automatic system in this list. Can be operated by two people and no one have to be outside to operate this system 🇸🇪👍🏻
It's also the only system that can deploy, fire three shells and leave before the first shell impacts the target. That is what you call shoot and scoot. Must be a nightmare for a potential enemy.
Forget to mention that it's
able to operate in harsh conditions from deserts +55 degrees celsius to arctic winter down to -45 degrees celsius.
just the design is not pretty
@@GAIS414 Mounted on the Boxer the AGM can deploy, fire 8 rounds and move away in 90 seconds.
@@captainmee3469 I think Bofors might have overlooked the huge potential market among teenage girls. That's probably why.
Very informative film covering the latest in wheeled howitzers, well done!
Thanks!
NORA B52 is best buy, you can buy 3 of them for one Archer. That's make a diffrence when you get in game with big numbers.
You can by 20 old Russian guns of 3 of NORA B52 T.hat's make a diffrence when you get in game with big numbers
The South African G6 has been around for a while. It was first used in Angola in 1987. It is on the Wikipedia page. I was in the South African Army in 1992 and they were around then although only for use in South Africa at that time.
at 0:50, The Centauro "Porcupine" B2, year 2016, is the only wheeled tank howitzer on this list, all others are truck, thus more mobile in general: especially when escorted by a Centauro wheeled TD. Plus, like for the Archer, no crew needs to be outside when firing, it can shoot up to 50km away, 4 munitions in rapid succession before reloading, and its compatible with all Nato ammunitions. This has not been effectively deployed yet because its really recent with all the more recent aiming and laser guidance technologies, but when it does, it will quickly become one of the best wheeled SPG out there, in a similar way as the Centauro B2 is the best wheeled Tank Destroyer in the world.
Bofors are still the best in the world at making cannons, from their legendary 40mm to the Archer. I agree with #1.
Swedish best in the world. I do not take must notice of these kind of videos because they are often the opinion of the uploaders who often is am amateur. The Swedish gun is good but it is wheeled which restricts its maneuverability. A better gun is the American tracked M109A7 Paladin. It can hit targets with pin point accuracy as far away as 19 miles as opposed to the Archer's 13 miles
@@englishalan222 this video is about wheeled artillery. however, wheels have some advantage over tracks like speed, range and economy, especially in modern world where there are roads just about everywhere, and with todays ranges you dont need to travel 10km into the wild to get into range of a target. Then there is the G6 that was used as an bushbreaker (like an icebreaker) to cut thru the bush, hows that for mobility?
@@ClaytonBezui True. I still don't take much notice of these kind of videos for the reason previously stated.
@@englishalan222 You sound like mediators on Australian Defense Forums. Its like a cabal of Allies with blinkers on and jobs for pals.
@@englishalan222 Archer can fire the Excalibur shell 60 km (or 37 miles) so I guess you will have to come up with a better argument.
www.baesystems.com/en/product/archer
It also has much slower fire rate. Maximum 4 rounds per minute while the Archer fires 6-9 rounds per minute.
South Africa deserves first place because the G6 howitzer outranges all 155m howitzers and it was used in the border war it even gave enemies the intention to surrender once they heard those things fire
Your narration and analyses is very good. It makes the video more useful.
Thank you :D
Thanks for making fun!
Good to see BAE Systems as #1
Bofors 👍🏻👊🏻💣
Very good video. The G6 has since been upgraded with a 155mm 55cal gun.
Correct, latest variant to 76km , with newer autoloader , NBC and say a LEDS C-RAM system( would single handedly smash Sweden 's Archer back to the stone age) what the Paladin and K9/10 to 40km can currently do.Except with a Rhino could literally drive to the combat zone. Any tracked vehicle after 1000km just about needs a complete overhaul, the Rhino with a bit of spit and polish would be setting off on its next 1000km.
Except the West will probably not see this weapon again from the 1980's, like the Rooikat gone- gone. Denel its manufacturer cannot pay its staff. it had to turn down an order of $ 5 billion from Egypt because no bank or organisation would stand surety, with a pipeline of $20 billion of additional orders- sickening.....
Awesome video keep up the good work and maybe you could do a top 10 best Lego jet fighters
Masterfully done, more.
Nice list 👌. L&T has just started producing self propelled howitzers for India. Soon India will also be in the competition.
When ready, they'll be part fo the list too!

Thanks! I'm not a fan or expert in rifles neither so it's difficult for now.....maybe in the future who knows! :)
very good, greetings from sonora
Nice video bro keep it up👌❤️❤️
Thanks! :D
price, quality, features NORA 52 and mgs25 alexander from serbia is unrivaled no competition
Good vid, thanks TDD.
Being ex-AF, I thought, "I've got to see if I can show these things up", and I knew AC130's carried a howitzer. The answer, though, turns out to be "no, I can't show these things up". While the AC130 is a very impressive weapons system, firing 13 rounds a minute, the howitzer turns out to be 4" (105mm). So, all I can do at this point is declare "Hand salute!".
Further ramblings: I find it interesting how adding a couple of inches of diameter adds so much to the complexity. After all, it's "only" 50% larger diameter. Of course I know there's a simple formula to figure out the increase in mass, but it's been years since I've had to calculate parameters of beer barrels in college, so I forget.
Oh yeah: AC130, 105mm@13rpm. It's a 1-minute clip ua-cam.com/video/9_GnGKZ4e7k/v-deo.html
it is also a very low pressure gun with low recoil, if you placed any of these guns on the Spectre you just might pull a maverick and go into a flat spin, or rip the fuselage apart.
@@ClaytonBezui Interesting.
Very good analysis! The archer is now even better, it can carry a drone killer on the roof. Like a Norwegian or Swedish RWS, Like rapid-fire. Archer is the best!
Finaly a list with the Swedish Archer :)
world of tank's replay mode was thinking the same 😁
That "Archer" is a also a goddamn beast - not because of its weight, but because it pretty much scores every major "top-10/top20 list" as far as I can see! :D :D It's like a "LONG-RANGE-SNIPING-MORTAR"! :) :)...
@@komradearti9935 ...aah, what the hell do I know, man! :D I was in the Air Forces (and that was more than 20 years ago - the F16 was a fucking "novelty" for us back then! :D - sure as hell was better than the F104's we had! :) )... not any damn "field artillery" or... ...whatever you call it! ...I just see people talking very well about this system... GOOD MARKETING, maybe?
So YOU are saying it isn't that "good" as they say it is?
@@komradearti9935
Thank You for the info.
...so - in the end - it all goes back to MARKETING... (: / "Where" have I seen it before??... :) Regards! ;)
@@komradearti9935 You never fire for a longer time than 1 min and 10 seconds on one place is maximum preferably you fire 3 grenades in 15 seconds then you are out of there. If stay longer you are geting hit by the enemy artelery. So you actually you spend 6 grenades maximum in one place. Reloading is therefore not a problem. The basic grenade is more than 43 kg so 6 grenades is more than 256 kg. You usualy fire with 2 to 4 guns at the same time the simulanius landing of 1t of shells in the target area is enough to disturb even the most serious tea or coffee drinker. If it works on Vodka drinkers is another question.
@@sorennilsson9742 you can if you outrange the other guns
@@ClaytonBezui Yeas you are right but there are so many threats helicopters, rockets and so on.
I agree the archer is the best out there.
All things are cool...dude❤️❤️❤️
Best of Zuzana 2.0 Slovakia 🇸🇰
i'm going to buy one for my 2 boys. 12 and 14. they will have a lot of fun with it.
GOOD VID THUMP UP.
I like it bro 👍
Nice job, I am only missing an very important aspect:The initial deployment time and the redeployment times are each less than 30 seconds, this is essential in order to prevent any anti artillery impact. Another important factor is a salvo fire rate of three rounds in 15 seconds. This results in a total of 45 seconds for fire and get away.
Interesting point! Good suggestion I'll add it in the next update!
Bengt Mowitz
A very important aspect*
Or
An important aspect*
Just the use of an 🙂
You make a very good point of deployment times take note uploader!
@@616CC Well, you have to forgive me. English is not my native language. Swedish.
at 40 km the flight times are 2 minutes plus, so anything in the 3 to 4 minutes would be fine. But then again the G6 is well armoured if caught in a counter battery salvo. Also, if you stop and shoot 3 rounds without shooting in, all 3 rounds is going to miss. lots of factors to consider at 40km plus ranges, wind direction, speed, air density, temperature over the 40 km and even the earth spinning. Meteorology becomes very important. And shooting in with 2 or 3 rounds is the usual case. except for guided ammunition, which is still not super reliable. and most of these guns could fire the guided munitions as most conform to NATO or other standards
@@ClaytonBezui not so easy nowadays. The new radars, in which SAAB is leading, can calculate the impact point of incoming rounds immediately after fire. My guess is that they can do the same for own rounds, which mean you can shoot in long before impact. The excalibur is very exact.
06:35 ---- 5) Caesar - "........the loader is completely automatic and you are watching it now at this moment........." i could clearly see 2 men assisting the loading hahahaha!
English is not my main language and maybe it's not so clear but the loader is automatic.
The two men are there to choose:
Man on the right choose the kind of shell and the loader takes the bullet and LOAD IT.
Man on the left choose the charge for the distance and again, the loader takes the charge and LOAD IT.
So the loader is automatic, the shell/charge "chooser (????)" is not automatic
I don't know if it's more clear now
@@DarthDesigner I see what you mean.....however if you look at Archer and few other examples, the crew puts in the distance etc and when the firing solution is found the system picks the right amount of propellant charge and the shell that was chosen for the job. That's what I call fully automatic. I am not serving so the professionals may call it something else.
@@vdotme I get your point too :)
@@DarthDesigner it doesnt load automaticly, it is loader by man
He dont differentiate between automatic and semi-automatic.
Excelente video, pero creo que el centauro merecía una mejor atención, es muy fuerte, ágil y versátil
Hell yeah number one the Archer artillery system is the baddest on the planet
The Boxer is so f*cking badass man!!!

@@mkvv5687 same
From This list G6-52 should by No1 by far. Your info is not correct. It has full auto loading and will out range any 155 howitzer in the world, wheeled or tracked. In fact, it will out range any howitzer of 155 mm wheeled, tracked or conventional. The previous modal, a 155mm 48cal will out range most if not all modern howitzers in the world, but had semi auto loader with less r/min than newest 52cal. Sorry, have to disagree with your assessment here...
Also, Denel offers trucked version of G5-52 called T5-52, why is this not on your list? Quote "Denel T5-52 155mm 52 calibre 8x8 wheeled self-propelled howitzer displayed at IDEAS defense exhibition in Pakistan, December 2016"
the old 45 Calibres, not 48
The G6 Rocks !!
nice videos
South African is good but Serbia Nora B 52 with a price tag of $1.8 m deserves attention.
With price and with quality
@@mikidelic4303 god job
price for sure, but if you want accuracy, range, protection and mobility....kinda everything you want from wheeled artillery then the G6 is the winner, and will outshoot any on this list.
Nora the best cost effective weapon on this list, you can buy 2 or even 3 Nora howitzers for the price 1 of others on this list.
which one is best for home defence?

Big bore cannons on trucks is an old trick. In WW II, Germany had 88mm ACK mounted on the larger halftracks. With special lights, Vampyr units could operate in the dark..
Great video! I like the new voice over a lot.
China though... They already have tracked howitzers but they still want wheeled artillery too? I'm confused...
Also have you checked out Rheinmetall's proposals for the Challenger 2 LEP? I'm really hyped!
Thanks!
The China howitzer is meant more for export I think :)
Yes the Rheinmetall's proposal is being around from a while. I think this time can become something real ;)
One of the most diffference is the weight of both systems. Tracked can carry more armor and ammo in contrast the wheeled systems are lighter. The wheeled SPA can be transported by planes and are more mobil. I think it's depends on the tactical nature or the force. Tracked for the tanks units and wheeled for support of mechanized infantry units for example.
@@TheTimer81 with the ranges of these guns, the artillery need no longer travel with the armour as in days past. in fact during the Angolan war the G6 was far ahead of the 'front line'. As for the armour and ammo, check out the G-6, it is better armoured than most tracked vehicles, can survive mines, has 42 ready rounds and is extremely mobile.
good work. though your english accent is not very clear but confidence and fluency is excellent.
It's not important, english is a cacophonous language: after we will listen some good music to save us : )
:-D
Zuzana looks like a metal slug boss 😂
And this is why I like it so much ahahah
I know right? :D Doing this direct fire from the side is just nasty! Still don't know if the system would function flawlessly after some long term, wast use of this kind.
Zuzana/Dana 152mm was never really meant for it. It can but shouldn't. 155mm cannon is even more powerful. Love the beasts on the Tatra heavy off-road truck.

...pretty snazzy.
When you talk about the Zuzana at 3:50 ... you are showing older version called DANA
Yes
i thought the archer could fire one mag (15) shells in 45sec
small mistake BOXER AGM is not artilery gun model, but autonomus gun model
I will not comment on your poll, but a lot of your data is wrong, did you google them or look at sales brochures?
Zuzana Is actually from Czechoslovakia. We got separated back then So now Its Czech and Slovakia
Thanks, I'll correct it
Well 500 km was a little optimistic but 60 km is ok. As for cost and efficiency it is expensive to buy but cheap to operate and own. It is the fastest shoot and scoot in the world. 3 rounds in under 15 sec, 30 sec later you are moving, 1,5 minute later the you groupe again 600 m away from the place you last fired from. 30 sec later you are prepared to fire again. The comand with a correction if needed now arrives to you and 10 sec later you fire 6 rounds in 40 sec. Together that is 400 kilo of steel delivered. One can ofcourse start with 6 rounds in 40 sec if the distance is short (25 km or less).
Wg we have work here.
I like video
I like comment :D
The swedish one is just a heavy site rear tipping dumper(moxies as there know to most in UK) with a big ass gun bolted on nice bit of kit though
I can already imagine electromagnetic gun carrier
It would be amazing, and you can actually see something searching for the General Atomics Blitzer Railgun ;)
Have you heard about the french AUF1?
Yes you can find it in the TRACKED version of the list :)
The African monster is very scary
Disagree with positioning of 1 and 2. The South African is a proven vehicle used in several conflicts. It was designed in the 80s and not the 90's. Secondly the Archer is not really a proven weapon in combat. It does not have the 30+ decade combat proven reliability than the South African SP artillery piece.
So?

Well at least the Archer might sell. I like the way the guy doing the voice over. Says emphatically the Archer is the best SPH in the world. Notice, no American guns there. G6 Rhino $ 1.1 million less than Archer, greater range, in everything. This product came into being in the 1980's people.MLRS made the SPH obsolete. Or so we thought, I reckon the new Russian SPH has a 100km range, matching well not quite a MLRS. The Boxer and the Norinco look daft. Actually i would take a MGS Stryker with a 105mm gun over those two.
There are no American guns here because they don't have any wheeled active howitzer at this moment.
The Stryker, for example, is a mobile gun system, different kind of machine with a different purpose.
well only 1 customer so far with 2 cancelling orders.
..how about soth korean K2 ?
It's a tank and present in the tank list :)
10:00 range is 67km or 76km ?
Reliably it's around the 60km mark with 67 being the quoted max range. It set the world record with 73.something km (or thereabouts) a few years ago, but that was with "non-standard" charge and a little modification of the projectile (plus it was probably downwind, or at best with no wind).
