The source said negotiations with the undisclosed country were ongoing and that other countries had also shown interest. Exact quantities or a potential contract value were not disclosed. The source also noted that trials had recently taken place in Pakistan.
The 155 mm/52 calibre howitzer was demonstrated to international delegates, including Jane’s , at Denel’s Overberg Test Range on 19–20 March.
The South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is still undecided whether it will order a substantial number of T5-52s or upgrade its legacy G6 self-propelled howitzers.
