ikan ::Preglomazan je on za tako nešto, a i razdaljine su prevelike. Moraju imati bar još 2 baze na putu zbog odmora i tankanja gorivom. To odrađuju kamioni nosivosti od 5-7 tona.
Slazem se potpuno, verovatno imaju dva tri FOBa negde. Ipak su imali 5 meseci za dovlacenje opreme.
@Vathra, nasao sam ovde na temi prvi tekst. Meni se cini da su figurativno stavili burend out.No prosudi. Link je prvi okacio Toni.
Vest je da su herojski tukli mrske teroristepo cenu topova.
On je glavni logisticar jedinica ranga ove nase 11. ekspedicione. Imaju ih 40, sedmotonac. Verovatno spartaju non stop. 400 tona bilo cega je, ne umem da opisem. Jednom sam video na gomili 30 tona UNHCR cebadi, pakuju se u bale od 30 kila.
Amerikanci prosto samo stavili haubicu na kamionce, nista drugo, sve ostalo isto.
Citat:The Brutus is a 155mm truck-mounted howitzer for increased mobility and enhanced firing capabilities. Experimental 155mm howitzer installed on an FMTV 6X6 truck chassis.
Howitzer is capable of using a wide range of ammunition for deployment against protected and unprotected targets, to create counter-mobility obstacles to block the manoeuvres of enemy armoured forces and to obscure or illuminate an area.
No further details on the howitzer have been released but noted that the U.S. Army interested in new, more mobile, lightweight artillery pieces.
It is expected that new mobile truck-mounted 155mm howitzer could replace the M119 and M777 towed howitzers currently at service of the U.S. Army and Marines.
Defence Blog was one of the first to notice that the 75th Field Artillery Brigade had announced that its troops had fired the first round from the howitzer, nicknamed Brutus, during a recent Maneuver and Fires Integrated Experiment (MFIX) exercise at Fort Sill in a post on the unit’s official Facebook page dated Oct. 26, 2018.
The post does not offer any details about the howitzer itself, but it is almost certainly Mandus Group’s 155mm Soft RecoilHowitzer, which has been in development since 2011. The company also offers a 105mm system called Hawkeye, which is based on the same basic operating principles and is small and low-recoil enough to fit on the back of a Humvee or a pickup truck.
In a traditional howitzer, crews load the shell and propelling charge into the weapon, fire it, and the barrel and breach assemblies move backward to absorb some of the resulting force. The rest of the recoil force goes into the firing platform, such as a truck or tracked vehicle, or into the ground more directly in the case of towed weapons. This produces significant strain on the entire system and generally precludes many lighter weight vehicles from carrying large howitzers due to the potential impacts on accuracy and dangers of severe wear and tear in a relatively short amount of time.
Mandus’ guns use what is known as a “forward-recoiling” or “fire-out-of-battery” operating mechanism. What this means is that when the crew fires the gun, the barrel and breach move forward first. In principle, this momentum helps further cancel out the recoil, making the gun more accurate and otherwise suitable for mounting on lighter vehicles.
