Sorry guys thats not a tank. It is a self propelled howitser. It fires a 155mm shel and can shoot a lot further than a tank. We used them in Mike battery in the gulf.

So what you're saying is that it should be sub-caliber capable right? :)

Subsonic 155mm round.

It has been way to long since I looked at a tabular firing table for me to remember the velocity of those rounds. I do remember that different rounds travel at different speeds. Some of the heavier rounds may well be subsonic. 1995 was a long time ago.

I'm suprised that article is recent. I saw this photo several years ago at least.

 

Whoever designed that is obviously compensating for something.....

Here's one on an actual tank:

 

 

 

For the buffs, I would be interested to know how one of these systems would impact the bore evacuator, I would guess these guys in the tank would actually have to be running their NBC systems to keep the gases from back flowing. Not sure if it would bother the howitzers as most of the time, those guys have the back door open anyways.
