Can someone more knowledgeable than I in the realm of Field Artillery (not to be confused with Coastal Artillery or Air Defense Artillery) explain to me why the M107s, and M110s were not modernized or retained? Why is it that the 155mm and 105mm Howitzers have become the standard artillery sizes? Would it be possible, or feasible for new 175mm and 8 Inch Artillery to be produced and fielded in either the Self Propelled, or towed arrangement?
