152 mm howitzer

A 152 mm howitzer is a type of artillery gun used by military forces to fire shells over long distances. "152 mm" refers to the diameter of the shell, which is roughly 6 inches. Howitzers are designed to launch shells in a high-arcing trajectory, allowing them to hit targets behind cover or on the other side of obstacles. They are typically mounted on wheels or tracks for mobility and used for indirect fire support in battlefield operations. The 152 mm caliber strikes a balance between range, destructive power, and mobility, making it effective for targeting enemy positions, fortifications, or equipment.
