Re: AS-90 Self-Propelled Gun (Army)
We need to remember that counter battery radars are reasonably inaccurate and M30/31 rockets have metric accuracy meaning they'll miss most of the time if shot with radar target designation. They are not good for area fires which counter battery is. The M30 is a guided submunition rocket, although ...
