Self-propelled howitzer
A self-propelled howitzer is a type of artillery that combines the capabilities of a traditional howitzer with its own mobility. It features a large cannon mounted on a wheeled or tracked chassis, allowing it to move quickly on the battlefield without needing to be towed. This design enables it to fire powerful shells over long distances while remaining mobile to evade enemy fire or relocate as needed. Self-propelled howitzers provide flexibility and efficiency in modern warfare, as they can quickly position themselves for optimal firing angles and support ground troops effectively.
