Well if they deliver cargo and precision rounds as well I would be happy. If they can develop a guided round for the Bofors 57mm increasing the options for a 105mm should be possible, though most effort goes into 155mm. I just cannot help think that the 105mm is becoming a dead end with the option preferred by many nations being the 120mm Mortar and the 155mm. The 105mm is a good weapon but is out done on range, payload and precision by the combination of the other two.ArmChairCivvy wrote:They have modified the parallel version to our LG, to do 50 km; linked to it on some thread (to humour LJ ).RetroSicotte wrote:The M109s new gun however is based on the M777, so perhaps another option there to seek commonality.
- that one is towed, though
On the AS-90 it is criminal though how the upgrade to 52 Cal was allowed to slide off into nowhere as a result of penny pinching at head office. Everything was basically in place but the management of the programme was incompetence personified.
