Building a light weight howitzer or a light weight version of original howitzer is more significantly required than an SP version atm. Mountain areas need these guns with longer ranges and light weight for transport through rough terrain.
They do it every once in a while, maybe also because HIT had their 50th anniversary recently.
I said it in a light mood because whether one wants or not, FC was handed tanks and artillery. How they make the best out of them is up to them.
that sadly is due to poorly made defensive structures that are cobbled up by piling stones. what is needed is hardened structures.
Does anyone know what went wrong with the Panther contract. What happened when the gun was tested,and was the tested item not what was delivered? Help appreciated.
HMC has been producing gun barrels for quite some time. There has however been a bit of "reluctance" to get it from HMC instead trying to get them from else where. As to your supposition I think this is the general idea and what is now being worked at.
As far as I am aware the gun performed fine but there were rather big issues when the time came to sign the contract, monetary issues on our side and a reluctance to agree to delivery terms on theirs, PA had a rather bad experience all things considered, but i suppose not all deals go smoothly, its good That the two countries didn’t let it effect other weapons deals, maybe PA will try it again too if the local option needs competitors to go against.
APU is an option, can be removed or installed as needed.
Are these pictures legit?
I feel Turkish panter at local production?? Looks similar
