You were asked – TMP link In 2020, the U.S. Marines reduced their artillery battalions from 21 to 5, concluding that a few missile systems would produce, through precision, better fire support than the 96 artillery tubes that were jettisoned. has high tech made artillery obsolete? 89% said "no, artillery is not obsolete"
6% said "yes, artillery is obsolete" |

Artillery still is used extensively in Ukraine. |

The statement is ridiculous on the face of it. |

korsun0 & Andrew +1/ea. Tube FA is still around even if missiles and rockets are increasing on the battlefield. E.g. HIMARS, M270, ATAMS, etc. IMO the USMC's reorganization still seems to be lacking. E.g. turning in all their MBTs. Having USMC units armed with anti-ship missiles. When was the last time USMC units engaged ships at sea ? IIRC Early WWII, but I still don't see that as a modern USMC mission. |
