- Ukrainian soldiers fighting Russian forces on Saturday (December 17) in the eastern Donetsk region praised their Swedish-made self-propelled howitzer.
The howitzer could be quickly deployed, is accurate, reliable and can fire 21 shots in less than three minutes, according to Ruslan, Ukrainian artilleryman operating on Archer.
Sweden’s Ministry of Defence says eight of the Archer self-propelled howitzers were provided to Ukraine earlier this year.
Kyiv largely relies on Western military aid as its troops clash with Russian forces.

@@dv2045 well to the end, alot of nations havent put a date and instead said to the conflict is over, so its up to ukraine and russia when it will end.
Vi i Sverige har beslutat att stödja hjältarna i Ukraina till ryssen är utslängd ur Ukraina. Vår arvsfiende Ryssland kommer nu att få känna på svenskt stål dag och natt, med mycket hög precision. Ryssarna känner till Archer och vet om vilken kapacitet Archer besitter. Tillsammans med specialammunition som exempelvis Excalibur-ammunition, så träffas mål med högsta precision på över 50 kilometers avstånd.

Good products always need little to no advertising. It is the horrible products that need it more than anything.
@@CoecooActually, this is a horrible weapon system in terms of mass production and shell production. Its great for a small nation such as Sweden, but not for a large country like Ukraine fighting an even larger country with superiority in almost every aspect in terms for artillery and shell production.
The Tiger tank is a fine example of just that, a great formidable weapon proven to be detremental for the war effort due to overengineering and cost. The soviets produced 100 t-32s for every tiger on a 400km frontline. Let that sink in…
@@Shono123 What are you even talking about? Are you a bot?
It uses the standard 155mm NATO ammo and costs around 4-5 mil $ while it's competitors costs 11-20 mil $.
Sweden has a world-class armaments industry and phenomenal armed forces.
But our armed forces are very small, just the skeleton of the old invasion defense we had in the Cold war era. These modern weapon systems are only because back then we invested heavily into having our own weapons industry and standing forces...

Wait until you see the new CV90 with tech for be invisible. They estimate to deliver it somewhere around 2030
It can fire a number of rounds quickly and each shot will travel in a slightly different arc, so that they can land in the same target area about the same time,causing maximum damage
But thats a feature the most western howitzers have

It can do that while they sit in the cab and drink their coffee and leave before they bite their donut. Great system. = ) @@tobberino
@@tobberino
The multiple rounds simultaneous impact (MRSI) is common place to western arty
The Archer strength is the fact that the can set fire 3 rounds and move in 75 seconds
MRSI, doesnt matter when you have precision rounds which allows you to on fire multiple targets
@@verdebusterAPon the contrary. This increase the survivability of the system and lowering the time for counter battery fire and time to react.
Having 10 howitzers all landing 30 shells simultaneously is devastating

Amazing that the advanced Swedish weaponindustry both can help, impress and get their weapons battleproven.
Having been on the old style artillery guns many years ago I am impressed too.
A crew of 1 could handle this system as soon as the ammo is on board. Like the now retired S-tank (103) which was more of a turret with tracks. And could easily be handled by 1 person. Automation is the key. The old Bandkanon 1 was a to heavy but a very good pre cursor to this new system.
Thanks Sweden
Thank you for coverage and not forgetting about this war! Hope UK government will also remember about this war. It was so heartwarming when Jonson was PM, now support packages became rare thing...

the Swedes have always built the best weapons in the world, they cost little and are very effective, it is impressive how a small country manages to develop weapons that are often more sophisticated than American ones while spending a fraction on research and development. to stay on topic the Ukrainians would need a hundred gripen and not old f16s.

When I saw this thing I immediately thought my "old" M777A1 was obsolete. Faster to set up, shoot, scoot, and takes 4-5 fewer people to run it.
-Marine Artillery
It is a bit more maintenance heavy. A towed gun you can just hook on your next Toyota if the road is paved. 😅
@@rkan2 Yes, it's gotta be more maintenance heavy. But, you don't have to maintenance the truck, too. Also, the amount of maintenance you have to do on the extra 4-5 troops is huge ...and also the medevacs you'll have to do on them when they get blown up due to counter battery will be lots of "maintenance".
Also, even the M777 weighs 10,000 lbs, so you can't just tow it with your Toyota.
@@acem82 A little overweight for a Toyota, yet on paved roads it shouldn't be a big problem hehe.
The Archer is being evaluated as a possible replacement to the stryker artillery in the US
Sadly, it seems 50 or so of these M777 have been lost. I think they kind of require the American war doctrine. If needed, it can be operated by a single person thanks to automation

Bofors, they know their stuff. Best tanks in Europe.
A top tier SP Arty, I watched a video when it was first released.
The anti aircraft guns that shot down kamikaze planes during ww2 were Swedish Bofors guns.
The standard turret for the Swedish IFV CV90 is the Bofors 40 mm autocannon, which is a WW2 design that more or less has remained the same since then. Hard to make improvements on.
Yes, Bofors 40 mm. Still in use today, although updated.
ngl that's genius artillery technology. This thing is very maneuverable, accurate and seemingly easy to use.
These is technology !!!
Thanks for this video.
This 155mm SPA was designed by the world famous Bofors AB. This is the same manufacturer of the 40mm AA gun that was widely used throughout WWII, in the UK, Europe and the US. Apparently 80% of downed Japanese fighter planes in WWII were taken out by the Bofors 40mm gun (mounted on US/UK ships). Common themes between both calibres that made them popular: rapid rate of fire, ease of use, highly reliable, high impact.

I’m a bit intrigued that US want Sweden in NATO so badly. Swedish weapons cost much less, is very effective and has reliable supply chains. Best of all, it isn’t a part of the US weapons lobby.
What does weapon manufacturers in US think about this?
As for your question, american defense contractors have a good relationship with the Swedish militarty industrial complex in general. The new training jet for the american air force is the Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk. That's just one example of the cooperation.
The bigwigs at SAAB, Bofors and Ericsson and many others rejoice at joining NATO. Many of them have lobbied for that for decades. Some nations have always wanted to stay loyal and primarily buy from nations within the alliance. The most interesting thing to see is what effect it has on the JAS 39 Gripen sales..
Sweden has been a useful shadow member of NATO and is more useful outside of the alliance so i don't know why Sweden and Finland joined, many are confused about that in both nations. The theory is that it ws just a geopolitical move towards Russia, to be able to say that Russia's invasion meant to keep Ukraine outside of NATO made two bordering nations join up instead.
A potential threat from Russia is what the entire Swedish military and military industrial complex is built around, and it's in their interest to keep the idea of an potential invasion alive even though they know it likely will never happen in our lifetime.
The Swedish island of Gotland would be a helluva strategical prize for Russia and one that the Soviet ruskies always yearned for. Oher than that Scandinavia has nothing that Russia doesn't already have. And even outside of NATO Sweden has defensive treaties with enough countries to make it a very stupid move to invade. Would be very costly as well, they would meet swedish technology such as stealth subs and the combined might of Sweden's and Finland air forces at once which are no joke. Too costly for Russia to accomplish at the moment even if the UK and USA / rest of NATO didn't get involved.
Sweden also has hardware/weaponry still unknown to the public that likely would make an surprise appearance during such an invasion. Military ventures within Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) are some of the most secretive and well-protected projects ever in the nation's history. Some of their projects are tied into Sweden's goal to build an drone army that can repel any invader. They've successfully tested modifying the stealth submarines into remote controlled drones without the need of a crew, not much else has ever leaked.
@@LyricalSteeler Before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia set some terms and demands to NOT invade Ukraine. One of these demands was that Finland and Sweden (as well as Ukraine) would be part of Russia's "security buffer zone" and as such must be forever refused to join NATO. This preposterous demand is of course completely unacceptable to any sovereign country, Swedes and Finns declared very clearly that they wouldn't have their foreign policies dictated to them by Russia, and NATO rejected it as well.
This got the ball rolling. In Sweden the public opinion started moving towards NATO in the months before Feb 2022, and when Russia actually went ahead and invaded Ukraine, Finland declared within a month that they would seek NATO membership. This tipped the scale completely in Sweden, and suddenly there was also a solid majority for NATO membership both in public opinion and in the Swedish parliament. This is, somewhat simplified, how it went down.
@@LyricalSteelersomeone who understands that Sweden should stay outside of NATO and protect it’s national sovereightny instead. Happy to do business with USA and NATO but not interested in anything else. UK are already guarranteeing Sweden. So Russia would go to war with a nuke-bearing country were they to attack Sweden
They want Sweden in NATO because they own Gotland, large island/military base in Baltic sea and near Kaliningrad

And Archer howitzer doesn't have open hydro hoses visible outside, like French Ceaser has. This means the small shrapnel hit cannot take the oil out easely.
Must be a heavy rain to have ice form in the leaf and cold enough to freeze the water.
COOL! We gonna see how archers and the good old but late for the party 2С35 crush each other. That's a battle, a worthy one
It’s quick to move after firing which is great. If it has similar ammunition capabilities to the m777 it’s a serious weapon.
It can fire both NATO and Bofors standard rounds but most importantly it can fire the excellent M982 Excalibur which is an shell created in a join effort by Sweden & U.S defence contractors, iirc Bofors and Raytheon. The Excalibur can reach double the distance of standard munitions.
