@thinkdefence: Self-propelled howitzers have many advantages, but it is easier to keep a towed howitzer in service. Fewer things that need to be fixed, fewer spare parts, you can replace tractors, etc. Also cheaper to replace combat losses and not every battlefield will look like Ukraine.

@RALee85 @thinkdefence: Like anything else, there is a reason why we have both wheeled and tracked armored vehicles and a reason why we have a mix of towed and self-propelled howitzers. Being able to move M777 by helicopter is an advantage, and the Marine Corps will keep them.

@CyranodEcosse @thinkdefence: Haven't talked to any 105mm batteries, but the main counterbattery threat for Ukrainian artillery is from Lancets. And the best means of defending against Lancets is to build semi-permanent shelters. So many self-propelled howitzers don't actually move that often.

@Carkidd1 @thinkdefence: And you can fit a battery on a MEU, but you can't fit a self-propelled battery on one without making some serious tradeoffs.

@0PGraves0 @thinkdefence: Decoys have been very successful and they are a great way to reduce your adversary's numbers of PGMs.
