Life Fire Demonstration

We attended a demonstration that showed four howitzers and rockets being fired.  It was a  "wower".
Here at Fort Sill we are the only training base for artillery for all the services.  This includes, howitzers, as well as rockets for defense.  Surface to surface, and surface to air.
This is a 105 mm.  It was interesting to watch to the precision in which they loaded and fired each shell.

BOOM.   We were given ear plugs.  A 105mm

This is a 155 mm paladin, mobile transport artillery 

This is the mobile ammo unit.

What it looks like from the back.  Lots of "Stuff" in there.


This has six rockets in it, and you could hear and see them as they flew through the air.

The side of the hill they were blowing up was about a couple miles away.
