M777 155mm howitzer vs CAESAR 155mm howitzer
Two 155mm howitzers prominent in Ukraine. The towed M777 is shown at about 24.7 km with conventional ammunition; the truck-mounted French CAESAR at 40 km, its published upper end with assisted ammunition. It is not a like-for-like comparison: the figures correspond to different rounds, and with the same ammunition the gap would be smaller.
