War. War never changes.
Especially the dick measuring contest that is how far your gun can shoot.

Easy. If you’re not dense.

Lemme make my point real clear: the normal range of the modern Mig-35, aka the range for which it can fly out strike and return to base without a bunch of heavy extra fuel, is 2000 km, or about 1.2k miles. This artillery sits out near top operational range of most near-peer air.
You know what, no, my points still not clear enough. Let me make it clearer.
This artillery, from the Iraq-Turkey border, could hit ANYWHERE IN SYRIA. EASY.
We could fire that from BAGHDAD and still hit anywhere we pleased. 600ish miles tops.

Imagine, being ANYWHERE IN SYRIA, and being able to call up your artillery bro in an Iraqi FOB where they have a battery of these ready to rain hell on some WasWas fuckheads who wanted to fuck around and find out why you don’t mess with America.
See, that’s what people don’t get about military advances.

We got tired of hucking spears, so we made bows.
We got tired of using bows, so we made crossbows.
We got tired of pulling back the strings of crossbows, so we made guns.

We got tired of reloading fucking muskets, so we made repeating rifles.
THAT got to be annoying having to reload clips, so some of us started carrying machine guns, and others got tired of riding horses so we made motherfucking TANKS.

Now? Its getting to be too much of a hassle to set up our artillery, so we’re going to create a nice secure FOB far away from the frontlines like it should be, set up our 1000 mile cannons, and drink pina coladas as we rain hell on some dumbass from another country.
