Major Breakthrough: Army Artillery Hits Target at 62 Kilometers - Doubles Range
Warrior Maven


By Kris Osborn - Warrior Maven

The Army has successfully fired a 155mm artillery round 62 kilometers - marking a technical breakthrough in the realm of land-based weapons and progressing toward its stated goal of being able to outrange and outgun Russian and Chinese weapons.

“We just doubled the range of our artillery at Yuma Proving Ground,” Gen. John Murray, Commanding General of Army Futures Command, told reporters at the Association of the United States Army Annual Symposium.

70 km for a 155? This (long time inactive) artillery spotter is impressed.
