The Russians obtained top-secret combat data on the U.S.-made M777 howitzer
The U.S. Institute of War Research said in a summary on July 13 that "Russian forces have reached northeastern Bakhmut and west of the Bakhmut-Lisichansk highway. Suburban Soledal. The Allies are approaching Soledal and are fighting for Seversk. It is clear that the front of the Ukrainian armed forces in Donbas is shaky, and American experts wrote a few days ago that the calm is almost over. At the same time, evidence emerged online about the captured American howitzer M777, which was led by a foreign black expert, and that foreign mercenaries guarded the howitzer
, all of which confirmed the direct collusion of NATO on the side of . On the Ukrainian side. Since Ukrainian artillery cannot operate Western howitzers, many howitzers provided by NATO countries cannot be used.
The Ukrainian army still prefers old Soviet howitzers. The M777 is regarded as iPhone 13 and can only be used for making phone calls. Other functions will not. From the high-tech laser rangefinder to the digital ballistic calculator, the Ukrainian army was immediately confused.
Originally, the American M777 was quite accurate artillery . Not super secret, in this howitzer the calculations include a software and technical system for returning the barrel to its original position, but the Ukrainian army does not operate it, resulting in indirect long-range shooting being much more difficult than shooting at visible targets, in particular. is when it comes to targets tens of kilometers away.
because the artillery needs to know three things - the position of the cannon, the position of the observer and the position of the target, and all on the same calculation matrix if the second and third. The position can be fixed, but the first factor is the cannon position, which is more troublesome. Since each shot will lead to the displacement of the howitzer, there is a serious deviation. Even if the M777 uses a super compensator, the recoil force when shooting is too large. The offset is also 6 centimeters .
At the same aiming coordinates, a deviation of a few centimeters or a fraction of a degree will cause the shell to deviate hundreds of meters from the original target by the second shot. This is not just because the shell is not accurate. Will drop twice in the same place, there is a scientific reason for this.
When the United States handed over the M777 to the Ukrainian armed forces, the biggest concern of American experts was that the filling of the high-tech instrument would fall into the hands of the Russians. It is different from the American digital ballistic calculator algorithm.
Some experts claim that the M777 howitzer only needs three test shots to achieve a hit within a radius of 20 kilometers from the target.
In addition, the U.S. military expenditure is also tight. In other words, if the Ukrainian armed forces use ammunition like the Russian Federation Armed Forces and fire 50,000-70,000 rounds of artillery shells every day, then the annual artillery production of the United States can only sustain Ukraine's 10-day battle at best.
Not surprisingly, the Americans are betting on a sophisticated digital ballistics calculator in an attempt to inflict as much damage as possible on Russia.
In Russia, they don’t pay much attention to the supply of M777 for some reason. On the contrary, the later Haimas rocket is indeed a big threat, and the French Caesar self-propelled howitzer is also very powerful. The new Seamaster rocket launcher equipped with a 300-kilometer extended-range bomb has begun to be sent to Ukraine. The United States hopes to use the hands of the Ukrainian army to kill Russia. One is to destroy the Crimea Bridge , and the other is to defeat the Russian army. Back to the dividing line on February 24th. The third is to recapture Crimea and Donbas.
Therefore, the focus of the Russian army in the future is to search for seahorses and destroy them.
