11 Deadly Artillery Systems used by Indian Army will surely give you Goosebumps - Zittara (2023)

Artillery is a class of large military weapons built to fire munitions far beyond the range and power of Infantry’s Small Arms.

Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach fortifications, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines. As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery developed for battlefield use.

This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility providing the largest share of an army’s total firepower.

The Word artillery referred to any group of soldiers primarily armed with some form of manufactured weapon or Armour. Since the introduction of gunpowder and cannon, the word “artillery” has largely meant cannon, and in contemporary usage, it usually refers to shell-firing guns, howitzers, mortars, rockets and guided missiles.

Indian Army has a wide range of Artillery Systems in its Arsenal through which, Army can obliterate Anything in its path.
