As the U.S. military retools for high-tech, high-speed warfare, systems like the M777 howitzer are being replaced or retired altogether. In this video, we break down why the Army and Marine Corps are shifting away from traditional towed tube artillery, and what’s replacing it. From the rise of rocket systems like HIMARS and NMESIS to the vulnerabilities exposed by drones and counter-battery fire in Ukraine, these moves are about survival. We’ll look at failed modernization programs, barrel burn-out, production bottlenecks, and what the future might hold for artillery crews in a rapidly evolving battlefield. The king of battle isn’t dead, it is just evolving with wheels, armor, and a lot more speed...so calm down Red Legs, you aren't irrelevant. 00:00 - Intro 01:17 - Ad Read 02:17 - What even is artillery? 03:36 - HIMARS-The new king? 06:50 - Tube artillery still has it 13:31 - New wheels and new rounds 16:21 - Channel updates Written by: David Roza Edited by: Savvy Task & Purpose is a military news and culture-oriented channel.
