Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we investigate modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

Great script, narration and production as always. Personally I find this channel to be one of the best on youtube when it comes to selecting innovative and intriguing weapon systems, be it a new or an old system.

13:23 The real reason why this regiment lost all 18 howitzers in just 25 was because of how much this thing was used that the barrels wore out of their life.

[khaldrago]

Great video dude! I love your vids on the Scandinavian weapons systems!

[ashokkher]

I did my military service on the Haubits 77 15.5 cm !! A awesome "gun" 😉

[kristofferhellstrom]

It's so weird watching this thing driving and moving around :D

[ChandranPrema]

When Indian Army managed to get these things to 19, 000ft India was literally able to defeat an army who had a height advantage of 30, 000ft

[patriotenfield]

The ATAGS and Dhanush are the off-springs of those Bofors who are also going to suceed ike their parents. nvtless, I love my GHN-45 .

[gansior]

Weapon detective, can we get some videos about maybe Palmaria, Ariete or any other Fantastic Italian machines? We would appreciate it greatly

[kristofferhellstrom]

I love that the Archer uses the FH77. Proved and tested.

[petter]

A fantastic system ahead of its time 👍🏻

[ChandranPrema]

Dhanush Howitzer of is actually a version inspired by FH77 but is way better has GPS, Ballistic computet has range of 39km and had 52 calibre.

[habahan]

Nice video as always. But, the FH77 defeated the G5 in the tender by bribery. The G5 would also be legendary in the Kargil War. Nevertheless, the FH77 is indeed a good howitzer.

[Leptospirosi]

Looks very similar to the FH70, also an L39 gun: what are the main differences?

[cracker]

would love to see the A-222 Bereg next there is nothing out there about it

[osatoo]

Can you make a video on the L-39 jet trainer?

[yatrikashish]

At 14.18, 286 Medium Regt of the IndianArmy DID NOT LOSE ALL IT'S 18 GUNS😡, in fact due to the intense and reletnless firing the barrels were worn out in 25 days. There IS A These were then replaced by guns from another Regiment. The worn out guns are still with us, we di NOT lose them.

[hifzuliman]

12:57 Nooo. How could you do this. This is outrageous; it’s unfair, how can you have the high ground and not winning.

[Gurupimp]

Well you will Love the Archer if you like this Relic :)
