Army Will Field 100 Km Cannon, 500 Km Missiles

More support for the infantry.

The Army is modernizing three artillery systems: 155 cannon, the cheapest option, for the close fight against the enemy's frontline forces; guided rockets for the deep fight against enemy reinforcements and supply lines; and missiles, the most expensive munitions, for very deep or even strategic strikes against targets in the enemy rear and homeland.

Within five years, the US Army will field new artillery weapons — howitzer shells, rockets, and missiles — with ranges of 70 to 500 kilometers, double that of current systems. After 15 years of close-range combat against insurgents, the service’s top priority is now what it calls Long-Range Precision Fires to counter “peer competitors” like Russia and China on vastly larger battlefields.

They use mass artillery attacks. Great accuracy isn't much of an issue for them. Although I imagine they are very accurate.

They spent the last decade modernizing their military while we were dorking around in the Middle East wearing our military out.

I don't know whether all of their weapons platforms are better than ours. Other than artillery range that I mentioned previously.

I was on another site and the Russians that show up there.....assure us that everything the Russians have is better than ours.

Needless to say I had to remind them about all their human errors.

I imagine Russia would advocate for their equipment. One of their new tanks broke down in a military parade a year or two ago.

They definitely do that.....even though their Navy isn't as effective as they seem to think.
