What would you prefer:105mm howitzer or 120mm mortar?
I would prefer 120mm mortar.
Because Cheaper and lighter -smaller ammo.
Indirect fire capability.
Low velocity so light materials.
Accuracy.
7km range as same as 105mm howitzer.
I don't think there is a difference.What is MBRL , its roles and characteristics? And what is difference between MBRL and MLRS?
If you want to shoot over a hill, or target someone on the backside slope of the hill, the mortar with its high arc is ideal. But you'll need artillery to get at targets over 15km away.
105mm cant shot over15km.
Only 155mm howitzer can reach range over 15km.
But My question was about 105mm artilery or120mm mortar!
It depends what you want to destroy and where is it.M913 HERA and others are not ordinary shell.They are very expensive and completed. However 19km range is not totally long.
155mm ordinary shells have 2 times longer range than 105mm.
120 mm mortars and 155mm howitzers are enough .
105mm artillery is not needed. 120mm mortar round as mortal as 105mm artilery round. 120mm mortar round more compact , lighter, less recoill and cheaper.
Yes you are absalutly right.105mm is against buildings and fortified bases.
Also a large warhead, that mortars lack.Yes you are absalutly right.
Against building ammo must have high velocity.

About time ...US Army developing rocket-assisted artillery rounds for extended range

Dear members !
@Penguin
I have a question
Why artillery rockets require or need minimum range?
Why do they have limited minimum range?
For example 107mm artillery rocket minimum range 600m maximum 10000meters.
What if we use in 600meter range?
What if we shot building or something from 200meter or 100meter?
Hydra rockets also have minimum range. I can't understand why ?
If we in the armoured personal carrier and fire from APC , blast won't affect us.
Thx .
For example from this vehicles.

Why we cant shot aims from 50 meter?

Artillery rockets are typically not intended as direct fire weapons. Their rounds follow a ballistic trajectory.
