#collectionhighlight Artillery in the First World War All operations depended on artillery, which shaped the trench systems and offensives that came to define the First World War. Artillery was used by all sides, with pieces ranging from the French 75mm field gun to the German 42cm field mortars. Prior to the Battle of Arras, one Inniskillinger remarked that: “A fierce flame crackled and ran like chain lightning for fifteen miles along our front. A thousand and more guns, from the giant 15-inch howitzers to the 18 pounders, began to discharge shell at the German Positions”. This artillery bombardment was far from exceptional. #didyouknow Over 1.5 million shells were fired by the allies on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, breaking the previous record of over 1 million fired by the Germans at the Battle of Verdun a few months prior. Artillery was the most significant cause of combat casualties in the First World War. Its prominence and effectiveness drove almost all actions on the Western Front, and its long-lasting effects would change the lives of millions of men.

Amidst the clamor of medieval warfare, the Hussite armies harnessed the raw potency of artillery with unparalleled mastery. Gone were the days of stationary artillery – the Hussites embraced mobility, enabling their cannons to navigate the battlefield with agility. This calculated approach marked a paradigm shift, setting the stage for the dynamic role artillery would come to play in future conflicts. The Hussites didn't merely wield artillery; they conducted symphonies of destruction. Their mobile cannons unleashed calculated barrages that shattered enemy lines, ushering in a new era of ranged devastation. The marriage of firepower and maneuverability allowed the Hussite artillery to strike precisely where it hurt the most, wreaking havoc and sowing chaos amidst the ranks of their adversaries. The Hussite artillery's transformative role extended far beyond their era. This artful integration of firepower and mobility would become a cornerstone of modern warfare. The lessons from the Hussite approach laid the foundation for the evolution of artillery tactics, emphasizing the strategic interplay between precision targeting and rapid maneuvering. The Hussite infantry demonstrated an uncanny mastery of fluid dynamics on the battlefield. Their ability to shift seamlessly between offensive and defensive formations became their hallmark. This adaptability granted them a strategic edge, underscoring the age-old adage that victory is not dictated by sheer numbers but by the finesse of tactical agility. This emphasis on adaptability enabled them to outmaneuver larger, more rigidly organized adversaries, highlighting the Hussite belief that strategy trumped mere brute force. #mylineage #armour #ancienthistory #militaryhistory #medievalist #medievalhistory #medievaltimes #medieval #heraldry #middleages #armor #medievalworld #medievalchivalry #jerusalem #warriorhistory #saladin #thecrusades #medievalknight #medievalarmor #knighthood #crusades #templarios #knightstemplar #templar #cruzadas #europeanhistory #hussitewars #battleoflipany #lessonsfromhistory https://lnkd.in/g5zd6Peh

Medvedev: I cannot with all sincerity help but wish the U.S. to plunge into a new civil war as quickly as possible. Which, I hope, will be radically different from the war between North and South in the 19th century and will be waged using aircraft, tanks, artillery, MLRS, all types of missiles and other weapons. And which will finally lead to the inglorious collapse of the vile evil empire of the 21st century - the United States of America. https://lnkd.in/ePj7UYAe

Here's another good read from the 10th Marines (former, current, and future). A great example of if you have a point of view and can reinforce it with relevance and facts, put it on paper and disseminate it to the force.

The series then shows for the first time training undergo and simulations by the artillery units on various systems. It includes mortars, 107mm rockets, 122mm grad, 152 mm artillery, and more. It ends by showing several hidden MRLS systems with hydraulic systems to raise them from under the soil.

Soviet experimental rocket assisted T-62 tank! The idea behind the rocket boosters was to give the T-62 tank the ability to rapidly cover short distances on the battlefield. This would have allowed the tank to quickly take up hull-down firing positions or escape from flanking maneuvers by enemy forces. The boosters were mounted on the rear of the tank and could propel it at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour (18 mph) for short bursts. However, the system proved to be impractical for a number of reasons. #military #defense #defence #engineering #technology #technologies #tank #rocket #battlefield #militarytechnology #defensetechnology

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF JD VANCE has a COMBAT ACTION RIBBON? If so, I will update my post: TRUMPERS - Why would you conflate the term WAR with COMBAT, and let's add deployment and deployed for the Marine Public Relations dude. And when you say "saw combat," what does that mean? Dropping bombs or launching missiles from a ship at sea or clearing houses one at a time. What's the technical term? DOOR KICKERS... Trumpers and JD, if you keep splitting hairs, you will become as bald as the ex-President! Let's unpack this. First, "war" and "combat" are not synonymous, just like "truth" and "Trump's Twitter feed." War is... READ MORE HERE 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 https://lnkd.in/eBnf2cPv ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
