US Artillery Capabilities Fall Victim to “Profit Over Purpose,“ No Solution in Sight
Link to the article:
- The US Army has cancelled a long-range artillery prototype because barrels were wearing out too quickly;
- The US seeks to evaluate existing Western artillery systems to extend the range of American artillery systems;
- This is done supposedly after learning lessons from the ongoing fighting in Ukraine;
- The real problem is the collective West’s inability to mass produce weapons and ammunition;
- Longer-range systems may not make them more effective on modern battlefields where counter-battery operations is conducted using long-range drones;
- Russia and China are no longer lagging in terms of military capabilities or the technology associated with them, the determining factor is quantity;
- America’s for-profit arms industry prefers small numbers of expensive weapons over large quantities of simple but effective systems, creating these shortcomings in Western artillery systems;
