A tracked, armored 155 mm/L52 self-propelled howitzer. Its autoloader rains 10-12 rounds per minute and, with MRSI, can drop up to 5 shells on a single target simultaneously — one of the fastest-firing gun systems in the world.
Specifications
- Caliber / Barrel: 155 mm / L52 (52-caliber)
- Range (standard): ~30 km (DM121 boattail)
- Range (base-bleed): ~40 km
- Range (V-LAP/rocket-assisted): ~54 km (record test ~67 km, 2019)
- Burst rate: 3 rounds in 9 seconds
- Sustained rate: 10-12 rounds per minute
- MRSI: Up to 5 shells simultaneous impact (multiple elevation angles)
- Ammo capacity: 60 shells + modular charges (autoloader)

Beats: M109 Paladin (atış hızı, MRSI ve menzilde belirgin üstün), 2S19 Msta (otomasyon ve sürekli ateş hacminde önde), AS-90 (menzil ve doldurma otomasyonunda ileride)
Loses to: CAESAR (çark üstü, çok daha hızlı mevzi değiştirme/shoot-and-scoot ve havadan taşınabilirlik), Archer (otomasyon ve hızlı yer değiştirmede, hafif şasi avantajı)
Ideal for concentrated fire superiority and MRSI; its weight leaves it behind lighter howitzers in survivability against shoot-and-scoot counter-battery.
