artillery pieces

Artillery pieces are large-caliber weapons designed to launch projectiles over long distances, primarily used in military operations. They include cannons, howitzers, and mortars, which vary in size and firing angles. Artillery functions by using explosive charges to propel shells through the air toward targets, providing indirect fire support for ground troops. They are mounted on wheels or fixed positions, allowing mobility or stability as needed. Artillery enhances battlefield firepower by delivering powerful, precise, and sustained attacks over wide areas, often targeting enemy positions, fortifications, or concentrations of troops.
