00:00Do you know how ammunition is loaded into a fighter jet's cannon?
00:03For example, the F-15 fighter jet is equipped with an M61 six-barreled cannon with a 20 mm caliber.
00:10At a rate of 100 rounds per second
00:12But its capacity is only 940 rounds.
00:15This means they run out in seconds when fired continuously.
00:17At a price of $30 per shell
00:20The plane consumes thousands of dollars in moments
00:22This is something small countries cannot afford.
00:24Even more strangely, these shells are manually loaded.
00:27Where the technicians place them one by one
00:30Regarding the conveyor belt for feeding the system manually or electrically
00:34This process is complex and requires strenuous physical effort.
00:37Especially in heat or war conditions
00:39It is considered one of the most difficult tasks.
00:41As for weapon platforms such as the Apache and A10
00:43Its consumption of thousands of bullets is precise.
00:46It places enormous logistical pressure on the system.
00:48For example, the A10 aircraft cannon, 30 mm caliber
00:51It fires approximately 4000 accurate rounds
00:54What gives it massive firepower
00:56But filling it is very tiring
00:58Therefore, behind the ferocity of the battles lay tremendous efforts.
