List of wheeled self-propelled howitzers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howitzers are one of two primary types of field artillery. Historically, howitzers fired a heavy shell in a high-trajectory from a relatively short barrel and their range was limited but they were slightly more mobile than similar size field guns. Since the end of World War II, howitzers have gained longer barrels and hence increased range to become gun-howitzers.

Wheeled based self-propelled howitzer was a common option when motorised vehicles became a standard for armies, but this shifted to tracked based vehicles. Few wheeled solutions were used during the cold war, however, they have regained significance in recent years as a cheaper alternative to tracked platforms.
