howitzer

As a consequence, thousands of rush hour commuters and coastal rail passengers were unaware of the risk as multiple M777 howitzers fired a total of 30 shells over the freeway.

At 1:46 p.m., an artillery round from an M777 howitzer was launched from White’s Beach northward, according to a CHP incident report obtained by The Times.

An Associated Press story about 155 mm howitzers describes the artillery weapon as one of the most-requested munitions in the war in Ukraine.

The demonstration was the largest in a decade in the continental US, the Marines said, and involved fighter jets, Navy vessels, helicopters and live fire from a towed howitzer.

A few soldiers ran through deep muddy trenches, to a clearing where a howitzer was hidden from sight, covered by branches and leaves.
