the m777 has a barrel life. depending on fire rate charge and shells. it happens to all artillery guns under heavy firing.

The MacGyver Military. I love that nickname.

The red solo cups as granade triggers are pretty cool.

[googesowders]

Those printers will make HUGH difference
Parts in hours not days or weeks
Not just drones tanks, AKs.. ECT.

Himars "anti-missile sytsem".

[pederovskilundborg]

Im sorry, "Anti Missle system"? And, "Eliminating aircraft"? Himars is a rocket artillery system with no anti air capabilities. You might be meaning aircraft that are grounded on airfields and military runways, but still, "anti missle"?

All barrels wear out as you fire them. From artillery to pistols, the hotter the barrel gets the faster it wears out.

Definitely not a proxy war nor a testing ground for technology that is meant to be sold and optimized for future conflicts

[gussampson]

The great thing about war is that the real winner is every country that's not involved in the conflict. Warfare is constantly evolving and new technology and tactics are being implemented and adjusted all the time. So every nation paying attention (which should be every nation) gets a safe way to see what the current iterations of warfare might look like for their next conflict.

This is why I don't mind giving Ukraine weapons, especially if it needs more testing. Let Ukraine be our testing playground. Win-win.

All barrels wear out whether it's artillery or tanks or handguns

Though most people are not going to shoot enough rounds through a handgun

So if you have replacement barrels it really depends upon the ease of change out

And the Switchblade may have underperformed but being so relatively cheap multiples can be thrown at a Target

[gallakailancer]

Its almost like over heating your weapon causes harm to it

[TrasonStadler]

I completely support sending our Abrams tanks simply because we will see how they handle combat against Russia’s takes. This war will show there strengths and weaknesses without another American dying.

[chasefrancis]

The M777 os able to be helidropped. It's not meant to be a frontlines workhorse for months without servicing, which is what they need.

[iamrom]

I wonder how many of us only get coverage from the war from the infographics show. It's easy to forget that the war isn't a cartoon and there's actual lives being lost when all you see is animations accompanied by a familiar voice. Of course, I'm only speaking for myself.

I was only joking when I said Samsung's self-propelled howitzer uses a built in tablet for a touchscreen GUI but here we are.

[samusaran]

I think a new type of war fighting is being born from this...

[sweatybotfn]

Hear that America, sometimes the most effective things are not the most expensive

[portcybertryx]

The switchblade 600 has been more effective

GLORY TO UKRAINE.. FROM FRIENDLY ITALY
