M109

The M109 is a type of self-propelled artillery vehicle used by military forces to provide heavy fire support. It combines a large-caliber howitzer mounted on a tracked chassis, allowing it to move quickly on the battlefield and engage targets at long distances with high-velocity shells. Designed for mobility and firepower, the M109 can automatically load and fire artillery shells, making it effective for targeting enemy positions, fortifications, and troop concentrations. It plays a crucial role in modern land combat by delivering rapid, sustained artillery fire while maintaining the ability to reposition swiftly as needed.
