artillery shells

Artillery shells are explosive projectiles fired from large guns or cannons used in military operations. They are designed to deliver destructive force over long distances, often containing high explosives that detonate upon impact or at a set altitude. Shells can vary in size, shape, and purpose, including high-explosive, incendiary, or specialized types like illumination or smoke. They travel through the air at high speeds, guided or unguided, to target enemy positions, fortifications, or equipment. The primary goal is to maximize damage and suppression of enemy forces while being delivered accurately from artillery units.
