122 mm howitzer

The 122 mm howitzer is a type of artillery, specifically a large-caliber gun designed to fire shells at high angles. It is commonly used by military forces for indirect fire support, meaning it can hit targets that are out of direct sight. The "122 mm" refers to the diameter of the shell it fires. These howitzers are effective for bombarding enemy positions, destroying fortifications, and providing support for ground troops. They can be towed by vehicles or mounted on self-propelled platforms, enabling mobility and rapid deployment in various combat situations.
