In the USA for the first time showed a new super-gun

In the United States, a new ultra-long-range artillery gun SLRC (Strategic Long Range Cannon), or supergun, was shown for the first time.

as they called him in the media.

Image and layouts SLRC posted on Twitter. This gun is being developed by a US Army research lab. Drawings of an artillery gun and a missile for him were presented at the US-British conference US-UK Modernization Demonstration Event, which was held on February 20 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

The supergun is somewhat reminiscent of the American 280 mmM65 “Atomic Annie” cannon, capable of firing nuclear warheads at a range of up to 36 kilometers. However, the new product has greater capabilities. Its firing range exceeds 1,000 nautical miles (1,852 kilometers).

The SLRC prototype should be ready in 2023. After his testing, the military will decide whether to continue work on the project.
