True but the archer is simply better

@DragonSilverG There are way more CAESAR simply because there are greater number built than the ARCHER 48 units of Archer whereas CAESAR number over 340

@DragonSilverG Again there are only 48 of Archer whereas there are over 340 Caesar Its easier to get more caesar than archer Bofors is not manufacturing juggernaut like KNDS Besides the Archer, they dont make many vehicles KNDS besides the Caesar also makes, tanks, MRAPS, IFV, AFV and other various combat and artillery vehicles so they can make caesars faster than Bofors makes Archers its simple math

@riv4lm4n There is that fact but in Ukraine , its different story Ukraine has was sent 49 CAESAR and 10 have been destroyed so far Next numerous system is the PZh-2000 with 39 but only 1 destroyed but maintenance has been problem for it Even finely made German engineering needs TLC The CAESAR is simply the easiest to get right now

@ If they can score a contract with the US army or Marine Corps, then cost wouldnt be a problem The US Army alone has 1500 plus M109 howitzers that need replacement Given the vulnerability of towed systems there is market for an addition 1000 units to replace the M777s in the Army and USMC

@stitch77100 Wrong on all counts The Brutus is outgrowth of AM General's Hawkeye 105mm. They pitched the Hawkeye as possible replacement for the M119 towed howitzer They continued their work and developed the Brutus as continuation of that program and the first Brutus was shown in 2018 as possible replacement for towed M777s The shoot off between the CAESAR, Brutus and others didnt occur till 2021 however Ukraine is why the Army decided to stop and reevaluate the program Ultimately down selection to either the Archer or the RCH-155 as both systems are completely self contained and have higher rate of fire as they are fully automated and can rapidly relocate
