Other than the fact that these are M777A2s and not M77A2s, here’s a good short clip showing CH-47s delivering some 155mm long distance communications devices.

B-roll footage here.

  • Hey, they said that the M77[7]A2 is the most advanced howitzer that America has. I would have guessed that that honor would go to the Paladin. Why am I wrong?

  • Matthew Jacobs:

    Kevin: With the Paladin the Gun is a part of a tracked system developed I think in the 1980s. The M777 is a stand alone towed Gun, recently developed and fielded.

  • J.M. Heinrichs:

    Paladin is the M109A6; the M109 series dates back to the early 1960s.

    Cheers
