      ​@@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.

      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. Maybe someday a human piloting a drone will be trusted with that task, but AFAIK not yet.

    In May of 1968, in Vietnam, a puny 105mm round from a gun captured by NVA regulars off an over-run USMC fire support base found me. The gun got off 03 rounds as a Navy F-4 hit the gun position with its Vulcan cannon. (.30mm Cal.)
    Only one of the 105mm rounds found us. My assistant M-60 gunner was killed outright, I lost a leg above the knee; it was a ticket home for me, my buddy, Romo, went home in a bag. It's been 55 years now, & PTSD still owns me.
    Russian soldiers are now paying the same high price American GIs paid in my long-ago war.

      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.

The FO's duty is to call fire in a particular area per grid square on a map where ever and whenever it's NEEDED per the unit commander etc....And the fire can be DEADLY and ON TIME !!....

      @@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.
