Mark Milli: Russians in Europe are superior to Americans in artillery capabilities

In Europe, the US is somewhat lagging behind Russia in terms of artillery capabilities, reports RIA News Statement by the Army Chief of Staff Mark Milli.

Mark Milli: Russians in Europe are superior to Americans in artillery capabilities


“We don’t like it, we don’t want it, but, really, they have more range and more trunks”,
said the general at the Senate hearing.

“However, the advantage does not look too dramatic,” he added, without becoming deeply involved in the analysis of the situation.

Earlier, the outgoing commander of NATO forces, Philip Breedlove, gave a high assessment to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

“He (Putin) created good land forces. You saw his air force in Syria, where they were tested. He also achieved a powerful long-range missile potential, launching missiles from both ships and submarines. He created an opportunity to demonstrate strength and managed to show it in the Crimea and Donbass, ”the general said on Estonian television.

        Think in the right direction ... hi Brand "Russians are Coming!" it's always been a lot of money!
        The "regional power" suddenly turned into a serious and strategically dangerous enemy (we were just pissed off again ..))) The printing press in the United States works at high speeds ...

              Why would they be re-melted? In World War II, the guns were much simpler, but who would say that they were frivolous frivolous with which nothing can be achieved? Even those guns were enough to demolish the positions and grind the defense into dust.
              And, some kind of Peony would be more serious.

                  Are the trunks worn out or just not looking advanced?
                  If Hyacinth can throw ordinary high-explosive fragmentation 152 by 30 kilometers every 10 seconds, then why is it needed for scrap? Such a division can be razed to the ground for anything in a few volleys.
                  If, for example, the DPR had such a division, then ukrovoyak would have greatly increased the reasons for zrad

                        Automatic or semi-automatic loading have nothing to do with automation.
                        6 rounds per minute? Perfectly. But the first shot from the "Genocide" march will take 3-3.5 minutes. A "Coalition" or a modernized "Msta" - in 25-30 seconds

                        Exactly. The "Genocide" division is a sacrificial lamb. For one fire strike. Because the 18-gun division 2S5 is three sedentary targets. And the 2S35 division is 18 maneuvers, changing their position after each minute fire raid.

                        But with the towed 2A36, it’s even worse. Heavy, inactive, problematic during transportation. During her stay in the army, dozens of people were crippled or died when a gun barrel was stuck in the cabin of the next car.
                        Great calculation, a long transfer time from combat to marching and vice versa, low speed of movement even on roads.

      And because they praise that the NATO and American warriors (and especially the representatives of the military-industrial complex, whose interests they lobby for) just need money - and the more the better. So they got the myth of the Soviet from naphthalene, I'm sorry - already the Russian military threat, in order to more intimidate our governments and people - you look and fork out. The main thing - at the same time, do not say any specific figures that those who know how to think suddenly did not think about why the Russians themselves should be afraid of aggression - if the US and NATO are at least not inferior to Russia, and if to be frank, then surpass it and in terms of the number of armed forces, and the number of military equipment in service (at least not inferior or inferior only slightly in qualitative characteristics). So such simple horror stories and custom articles of experts, such as D. Majdumdar and others like him, come into play.

      They have been "subtly hinting" for 20 years without much progress in this area.

      Excessive enthusiasm for aviation, including the army, led to a clear lag in artillery.

      For example, self-propelled guns. The American authorities have already "stabbed" the new samples ready for production twice, "Crusader" and NLOS-C

      But at the same time, do not forget that the Americans greatly surpass us in the possibility of effective use of artillery due primarily to the presence of a working system of automated fire control. Well and better than the artillery reconnaissance system

        Personally, I started working on these systems back in 1979. Do you really think that since then we have remained at this level? Read the performance characteristics of our modern systems, compare with the state ones and you will be pleasantly surprised. And in general it is not clear why do you think that their artillery intelligence is better than ours? I ask this as a former intelligence chief of the division.

          We not only did not stay "at this level", we lost it too.

          Both in the second Chechen and Georgia artillery worked according to the topographic data (!!!). Here, for example, in our division there was not a single working DMK, and there was no way to replace them, this junk was simply not produced by this time. And we did not receive meteo from the senior boss. There was no way to try to work with more exotic methods, like the POR newsletter or create benchmarks.

          Normal fire adjustment was only possible with the possibility of a direct corrective / fire connection.
          In the second war, it came to a total circus. For example, a spotter who is part of a reconnaissance group calls out fire. The team goes to the grouping, from there along the ZAS (!!!) to the "operational artillery", from there along the vole to the battery.

    Russia has shown its capabilities.
    The West is scratching its turnips.
    But further actions are clear.
    There will be a new round of arms race ...

      They will no longer untwist Russia in an arms race ... (we showed the world that we can accomplish combat missions with small forces) But we are gradually surrounded by a bloody ring of conflicts ... We hope that we will get involved for a long time. We will direct your weapons against you (we learned from you ..)))) Wait! hi

      It will, of course, but not like in the 80s! The absence of a link between the price of a weapon and its effectiveness can already be considered proven. Now the competition of "brains" begins, which is much more profitable for us than for the States! wink

      remembered ..

      Rogozin planted two poplars in Brussels

      Former NATO Permanent Representative Dmitry Rogozin planted two poplar seedlings in Brussels goodbye, naming them after the Topol and Topol-M ballistic missiles.

      During his farewell reception in Brussels for diplomats, military and journalists on Friday evening, Rogozin planted two trees in the garden of the representative villa of the Russian mission to the North Atlantic Alliance in memory of the Brussels stage of his career.

      “I ask you to get acquainted: this is Poplar, and this is Topol-M,” Rogozin said.
      Later on his Twitter page, he wrote: “I decided to leave something good in mind
      l about his work with NATO, so he planted a poplar. I think poplar is the place in NATO ”

    Russia is somewhat closer to Europe than the United States. US Army Chief of Staff Mark Milli does not reflect on the question of what US artillery is doing in Europe.

    “He (Putin) created good ground forces. You saw his Air Force in Syria, where they passed tests. He also achieved powerful long-range missile potential; missiles were launched both from ships and from submarines. He created the opportunity to demonstrate strength and managed to show it in the Crimea and Donbass, ”- said the general on Estonian television.

    In Europe, the United States is slightly behind Russia in terms of artillery capabilities, which means that they will again beg for money from Congress.

    Yes, they are afraid of us and praise, at the same time, drag their mongrel for a major incident. Who studied history - remember how the Nazis traded with the USSR, exchanged experience, everything was peaceful and quiet. However, before June 22, our pilots landed a reconnaissance aircraft, there were provocations at the borders, etc. And now cannon fodder is being incited against us and provoked everywhere and in everything. And recently I read Life News "An unidentified aircraft was spotted in several regions of the Russian Federation" the analogy is not good (then we landed a plane with pilots, and now in the information age, instead of pilots, a drone).

    Superiority in artillery is the details, the main thing is that we surpass the striped ones in the brains.
