It is a combination of all: firing computers, GPS and high-res terrain maps allows artillery to shoot more accurately, drones to do corrections, there are a number of guided (and extremely expensive) artillery shells with various guidance systems.
- paganel 7y agoWorth mentioning that the Russian Krasnopol does not use GLONASS (and I guess not high-res terrain maps either), which makes it less expensive compared to its NATO equivalents. From this page [1]: > A single Krasnopol shell costs around $35 000. That's significantly less that the cost of a single US GPS-guided Excalibur. Although the Excalibur has nearly twice the range and is more reliable. Couldn't quickly find the cost for a single Excalibur shell, maybe someone else can fill in the information.
