  1. Enjoy, Ukraine. It is one of the best use of my tax money I can imagine. Let’s hope for Gripens later on.

  2. 155 Ammo now costs about $4000 a round right now.

    I never thought this could happen, but artillery, temporarily, is being priced out by quadcopters.

  3. Archer is really good under counter-battery fire.

    ARCHER Shoot and Scoot Demonstrates how Archer can stop, fire three rounds and move again in 74 secs. Archer is in move before the first round lands.

    >Archer needs less than 30 seconds from the time the operators receive a call for fire, to stop the vehicle, position for action, and fire the first round. Less than 30 seconds after the mission is accomplished, Archer is on the move again. Archer can get into place, fire six rounds, displace, and move 500m in less than two minutes, while the crew remains in an armored cabin.
