Cañón 155 Mm L 33 Modelo Argentino
The 155mm L33 Argentine Model gun (Argentine Army denomination: ''Cañón 155 mm L 33 Modelo Argentino'') is an Argentine artillery field gun in service with the Argentine Army. Development Developed in late 1970s by CITEFA as ''obus 155 mm L33 X1415 CITEFA Modelo 77'' in order to replace the World War II era M114 155 mm howitzer still in service in the Argentine Army. The ordnance is based on the gun carried by the French Mk F3 155mm self-propelled gun, also in service with the Argentine Army. Also designed by CITEFA is a slightly improved version named "''Modelo 81''". Service Examples of ''Modelo 77'' were used during the Falklands War. A total four guns were captured by the British, these were flown in via Argentine Air Force C-130 Hercules during the conflict's last weeks in order to repel British naval gun fire after direct request from Argentinian commander to Buenos Aires Junta. Some were sold on the black market and were purchased by the Croatian Army whe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Field Gun
A field gun is a field artillery piece. Originally the term referred to smaller guns that could accompany a field army on the march, that when in combat could be moved about the battlefield in response to changing circumstances (field artillery), as opposed to guns installed in a fort (Royal Garrison Artillery, garrison artillery or coastal artillery), or to siege cannons and mortar (weapon), mortars which are too large to be moved quickly, and would be used only in a prolonged siege. Perhaps the most famous use of the field gun in terms of advanced tactics was Napoleon Bonaparte's use of very large wheels on the guns that allowed them to be moved quickly even during a battle. By moving the guns from point to point during a battle, enemy formations could be broken up to be handled by the infantry or cavalry wherever they were massing, dramatically increasing the overall effectiveness of the attack. World War I As the evolution of artillery continued, almost all guns of any siz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Artillery Of Argentina
Artillery consists of ranged weapons that launch Ammunition, munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms. Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach defensive walls and fortifications during sieges, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines. As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery cannons were developed for battlefield use. This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility generally providing the largest share of an army's total firepower. Originally, the word "artillery" referred to any group of soldiers primarily armed with some form of manufactured weapon or armour. Since the introduction of gunpowder and cannon, "artillery" has largely meant cannon, and in contemporary usage, usually refers to Shell (projectile), shell-firing Field gun, guns, howitzers, and Mortar (weapon), mortars (collectively called ''barrel artillery'', ''cannon artil ...

Cañón 155 Mm L 45 CALA 30
The 155 mm L45 CALA 30 Gun (Argentine Army denomination: Cañón 155 mm L 45 CALA 30) is an Argentinian long-range field artillery system developed for and in limited service with the Argentine Army. Development Developed in late 1980s and early 1990s by CITEFA as Cañón de artillería de largo alcance calibre 155 milímetros L45 CALA 30 in order to supplement (and eventually replace) the CITER 155mm L33 Gun still in service in the Argentine Army. The development incorporates lessons learned in the use of artillery from the Falklands War. Battlefield scenarios that motivated the L45 development were that British seaborne troops were unable to leave the beaches for an extended period of time. Argentine forward observers could not call in long range artillery since it the longest range guns, the 155mm L33, were too widely dispersed and out of range. Cluster munitions were developed for use on the L45 for this reason as well. CITEFA designed an improved version, kno ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mk F3 155mm
The 155 mm self-propelled gun Mk F3, or the Canon de 155 mm Mle F3 Automoteur (Cn-155-F3-Am), was developed in the early 1950s by the French Army to replace their American M41 Gorilla 155 mm self-propelled guns. The Mk F3 is the smallest and lightest 155 mm motorized gun carriage ever produced, and because of its size and low cost it has found considerable success on the export market. Constructed on a modified AMX-13 light tank chassis, the Mk F3 is novel in incorporating room inside for only two of the eight required crewmen (the others riding in support vehicles). This allows the 155 mm gun to be placed on a smaller chassis than that employed by other armies, but exposes the outside crew members to enemy fire and other hazards. Design History It was used by Al Jahra Force during Kippur War on Syrian front. Morocco used its Mk F3 during Western Sahara War. Iraq captured or destroyed 80 of these guns during the invasion of Kuwait. Variants *The M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
M114 155 Mm Howitzer
The 155 mm Howitzer M114 is a towed howitzer developed and used by the United States Army. It was first produced in 1941 as a medium artillery piece under the designation of 155 mm Howitzer M1. It saw service with the US Army during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, before being replaced by the M198 howitzer. The gun was also used by the armed forces of many nations. The M114A1 remains in service in some countries. Development Early development After the end of the First World War a board later named the Westervelt Board after its president, Brigadier General William I. Westervelt, was convened to assess the artillery experience of the combatant powers and map out future directions for the US Army artillery. The conclusion of the board vis-a-vis corps (heavy field) artillery was that an ideal heavy howitzer should have range of at least and allow the elevation of 65°B. P.
