    Most of you think unintentional comedy is the best kind. Watch this Russian talk show host be hilarious without trying: https://t.me/AnAmericanWhoSupportsUkraine/86

      Seriously though. How must it feel to be a thinking person and to feel trapped by insensate morons running the show? He knows he's liable to piss off a moron in power somewhere by saying anything. How can a television host live like that?

            Me too. Any idea about that rapid-fire howitzer I posted earlier?

              I looked at that. No idea! Maybe British? Definitely smaller rounds than a 155. 76mm? I was thinking that might be more up 'Napper's alley, but he was armor. What about you, Cope?

              We do have a ton of Field Artillery in the UTARNG, but I don't think the two I've seen were exactly like that. The older ones were towed like that, but they were bigger guns and single shot. Right now they have self-propelled guns.

                    It says that it has a four-round automatic clip available, which is scary given the calibre. So much death.

                      You can tell from the high angle that it's actually a mortar. Looks like the range is just over 2.5 miles. Our Pallains (the self-propelled howitzers) go just over 18 miles, and drop a bigger 155 round.

                        I was assuming howitzer based on it not being muzzle-loading. I'm glad to learn something today. 18 miles is just nuts. You could shell the town of Bishopville in the next county over from my house and still have 6 miles to spare, as the crow flies. That really puts these ranges into perspective. Could I kill the next town over from here? Yes.
                        Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

                          I remember hearing something a few years back that the Army was looking at developing rounds for our howitzers that would go 300 miles or so. I suppose you might as well classify it in the same category as HIMARS at that point.

                            300 mile range on howitzers? That means that OxCoug could shell Warsaw from Budapest from either side of the river. Or Ukraine could shell Moscow from the border.
