Artillery systems are large-caliber guns, howitzers, and missile launchers designed to deliver powerful munitions over long distances. They are primarily used in military operations to support ground troops, destroy enemy fortifications, and provide indirect fire support. Artillery can fire various types of ammunition, including high-explosive shells and guided missiles, making them versatile in combat scenarios. Modern artillery systems often incorporate advanced technology, such as GPS for precision targeting and computerized fire control systems for improved accuracy. These systems can be towed, self-propelled, or mounted on ships, allowing for flexibility in deployment and use on the battlefield.
