I love how we’ve basically been using catapults for the last two thousand years. We’ve just gotten reeeeally good at improving the design
Eh the concept of lobbing is somewhat the same however I think comparing this to a catapult is about the same as the comparison of a catapult to throwing something
Your comment reminds me of the fact that the implementation of new concepts in any field are far and few between compared to old concepts which we simply improved through technology
If you really think about it, any projectile launching device, from a simple one to a complicated artillery piece, is nothing but a rock thrower.
Aww the sling
@@amramjosewe are all still just throwing rocks. First we were throwing them just by hand. Then we fixed it onto some stick (spear). Then we found out how to throw it even further with another stick and leather strap (bow and arrow). Then we learned how to make it bigger (ballista). Then we learned how to combine it with physics to throw bigger rocks (catapult and trebuchet). Then we realised if we made ballista smaller it would be easier to learn how to throw rocks than with bow and arrow (crossbow). Then we combined it with chemistry and made the rocks from metal (first guns). Then we made that bigger (cannons), and also made it fire faster (machine guns) and then we took the (now metal) rocks, stuffed them with explosives and combined them with physics again and boom, you have artillery.
Humans have just progressively been getting better at throwing shit further and faster over time
Lol
Super underrated. 👌
Yeah imagine that...they threw a bunch of people at the moon,and actually hit it with them. Then threw them home.
Except for space flight... The moon visit was AMAZING, was talking about breaking past the current speeds...

Artillery isn't much good without a Forward Observer to tell it what grid square to hit, if there are allies or other important assets that are "Danger - Close" to err on one side not the other, then confirm the first hit is on-target, or how far off to adjust fire, in what direction.

Saw one of these things fire a bunker buster one time I had a shallow cave in the ground, it was only about 3 feet underground, and it killed 57 men.
These artillery bunker busters kind of work the way air to surface bunker Buster's work. It's a two-part shell. The first part of the shell separates as soon as it's fired and it punches a hole through the ground and then the second part penetrate through an explosion inside the bunker. Take note, the cave system but they were in was about 1500 m long. They were 57 men inside of it, when the artillery penetrated the cave wall, it collapsed the entrance where the artillery shell went in at and cost of pressure wave to move through the cave. When the pressure wave went through to change we could see it from where we were standing at on the other side of the mountain. All of a sudden the ground started shaking and it looked like smoke from one end of the cave to the other. 1st battalion 8th Marines m o s 0 3 1 7 SS.

They die different too, can’t move before counter battery kills you
I love how everyone one agrees that we went from smacking metals to improving our ability to lob something so fast that its so devastating with the object having the additional perks of either being real heavy or blowing up
One of the key features that sort humans from other animals is their unique skill of throwing stones at distances with unmatched precision. No other animal is able to do that.
Love this. My father was artillery in WWII and antiaircraft gunner. The Excalibur round is about 175 grand each. It can land on a dime at 30 miles.
30 miles?? good lord. how do you even aim at a target that far? telescope???
@@K4R3N GPS-like military tracking equipment, binoculars and maps probably.
@@K4R3N In WWII? Mapping and spotting. If you watch old films and hear folks calling in random numbers on a field radio (giant box strapped usually to someone's back) this is what they're doing, relaying map coordinates for Artillery to rain hellfire on an enemy position. Matter of fact one of the oldest military movie tropes "Danger Close" comes from artillery in WWI/WWII, when dropping artillery it wasn't uncommon for soldiers to be REALLY close to the coordinates they're radioing in, so the term Danger Close is basically telling the folks firing those big fuck off cannons "Hey guys, if you fuck up you're gonna kill a lot of our guys alongside theirs. So yknow.. DON'T fuck up"
A great example OF Danger Close bombardments actually is the film Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan where they literally call in artillery ON THEIR LOCATION. There's also Hacksaw Ridge where they shelled the ridge for an entire night despite still having friendlies on said ridge.
As for modern artillery there's lots of things that can be used, map coordinates, targeting computers, satellite imagery, etc. etc. it's basically just a game of mathematics, angle gun this way, shell goes up, shell goes down, something explodes.
It doesn't land on a dime sir. The accuracy is about that of any actively guided missile. To be more specific, it has the accuracy to strike a specific window on a building. There is better out there. Laser guided shells, for example,

Go love your Slavic brothers, Russia and Belarus, instead of hating out of gross ignorance
Crazy how this is the same thing people used since the 100 years war and to take Constantinople just massively improved
