155mm Howitzer

A 155mm howitzer is a type of artillery used by armed forces to fire large shells at distant targets. The "155mm" refers to the diameter of the shell, indicating the size of the projectile it fires. It operates by launching shells through a smooth, short barrel with a powerful explosion that propels the projectile over long distances, often several miles. Designed for indirect fire support, it’s used to target enemy positions, reinforce defenses, or create battlefield pressure. Its mobility allows it to be repositioned quickly, making it a versatile and essential component of modern artillery units.
