What is Artillery
Artillery refers to ranged weapons designed to launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms. Historically, artillery development began with the creation of siege engines aimed at breaching defensive walls and fortifications. These early devices were heavy and relatively immobile. Over time, advancements in technology led to the development of lighter and more mobile field artillery cannons, enhancing their utility on the battlefield. Modern artillery includes highly mobile self-propelled artillery vehicles, which provide a significant portion of an army's firepower due to their versatility and mobility.
