We here at Blue Stars For A Safe Return are working hard to honor all of our military, past and present, and their families. Inlcuding the veterans, and POW/MIA's. I feel that not enough is done to recognize the past efforts of the veterans, and remember those who have never been found.

I realized that our Veterans have no "official" seal, so we created one as part of that recognition. To see what it looks like and the Star that we have dedicated to you, the Veteran, please check out our site.

I'm wondering why SP guns don't also tow a Howie of the same calibre. The artillery could pound a few shots from each, saddle up and scoot, and use the incoming enemy fire on their former position to range for their next salvo.

They could also target two separate positions from the same firing point simultaneously.

I'm just a civvie, and I'm sure it's been discussed at one time or another, but I've never seen or heard any discussion/articles about the idea.

Then again, it could be that it was tried at one point, and went the same way as jacketless ammo for small arms.

Good Texas Saturday mornin' to you and all. A big thanks to our military and to our country.

We are off to Crawford in a couple of hours to join in with the vast majority of Americans who support this great nation and our President.

As much as I like thigs on tracks, I guess I'd stay with towed arty. IMHO, unless you have a fast moving advance there's not too much need for SP Arty. You can displace towed arty quickly nowadays and I'd rather have more steel on target from more guns than less steel on target with fewer SP guns.

Leave it to Israel to come up with a compromise. :-)

The Atmos 2000 52 calibre 155mm self-propelled artillery system.

The 155mm 52 calibre Atmos 2000 has demonstrated a maximum range of 41km, using an Extended Range Full Bore Base Bleed (ERFB-BB) projectile.

The Atmos system is mounted on a high mobility Tatra 6x6 truck which has a maximum road speed of 80km/h.

The high firing rate of three projectiles per 20 seconds is achieved by using a unique new load assist device.

The Atmos artillery system weighs 22,000kg and is transportable in a C-130 Hercules medium transport aircraft.

Atmos 2000 can fire all types of 155mm NATO ammunition and carries 27 projectiles and charges.
