Is that our „Excalibur“ equivalent?Roketsan LG-155 laser guided 155mm munition for howitzers. Per İkinci, its first firing tests were made recently.
Minimum 7, maximum 25km range, <5m CEP
Excalibur is GPS/INS guided. LG155 is laser guided, so needs an external actor to lase the target. Good side of it, it can work in GPS spoofed/jammed environments.Is that our „Excalibur“ equivalent?
And given how prevalent small drones are, it would barely be a problem to light a target. I really like the idea, I hope the cost is low enough.so needs an external actor to lase the target
That's how Russians employ it, with Orlan-30s. drones just like in 80s will be an inseparable part of artillery units. Full circle.And given how prevalent small drones are, it would barely be a problem to light a target. I really like the idea, I hope the cost is low enough.
And needless to say may be the best part is '' moving critical targets ''Roketsan LG-155 laser guided 155mm munition for howitzers. Per İkinci, its first firing tests were made recently.

I watched this a lot of time. Still amazing but a laser guided is next gen...
For example 155m Krasnopol has a reported range of 25km. The US made M712 Copperhead has a reported range of 16km.Can someone tell why the range is a bit low? Or is it normal for those kind of munition.

@Afif Bro, do we know the range of Excalibur S?
It has quite a few similarities with Chinese Norinco's GP155A laser guided 155mm projectile. Same fin setting, 25km max. range with 155/L52 barrel.Roketsan LG-155 laser guided 155mm munition for howitzers. Per İkinci, its first firing tests were made recently.
