Army Builds "Never-Before-Seen" Breakthrough 1,000-Mile Range Cannon

(Washington, D.C.) Most state-of-the-art artillery can fire about thirty kilometers away. With its Extended Range Cannon Artillery program, the U.S. Army can now fire 155mm rounds more than 60km. Ground Commanders can also shoot GPS-guided Guided Multiple Rocket Launch Systems as far as 70km and ground-fired Army Tactical Missile System missiles as far as 300 miles in some cases. Finally, the Army is exploring land-fired Tomahawk cruise missiles and developing a new ground-launched Precision-Strike Missile capable of reaching 500km.

But how about 1,000 miles? Well, maybe, perhaps by 2023, should Army weapons developers stay on course with an ambitious Long Range Cannon science and technology program aimed at engineering a low-cost, high rate-of-fire 1,000-mile ground cannon.

I don't get it. It's not a tactical weapon,and impractical as a strategic weapon because it doesn't  have the advantage of rapid movement and the ability to quickly maneuver that aircraft has.

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you should do it.

Maybe it's a PC weapon which would give it a high priority.

More likely it is a weapon designed and to be built by the "right" contractor with the"right" connections,including at least one retired Army General on the board of directions.

This shit has GOT to stop!
