Viettel-made self-propelled artillery makes an impression on its first appearance

(Dan Tri) - In the trend of modernizing the army and improving ground combat capabilities, the development of self-propelled artillery is becoming a top priority of many countries, including Vietnam.

Grasping this trend, the Military Industry - Telecommunications Group ( Viettel ) introduced for the first time a line of 152mm wheeled self-propelled artillery vehicles at the Exhibition "80 years of Independence - Freedom - Happiness journey". This is a product researched, developed and modernized by Viettel, a clear demonstration of Vietnam's self-reliance in defense technology in the new period.

The 152mm self-propelled gun is a heavy weapon system, designed to perform indirect fire missions with strong destructive power, wide combat range and high maneuverability. This system can provide long-range fire support for infantry and armor, especially suitable in flexible and high-intensity combat conditions.

Thanks to the maximum rate of fire of 4 rounds/minute or more, the combat crew of 5 to 6 people can put the artillery into combat readiness in a short time, quickly execute a series of shots, then maneuver out of position, avoiding enemy counterattack. This way of operating clearly demonstrates the "fire - withdraw - live" principle that is very typical of modern artillery.

One of the highlights of this artillery system is its high level of automation. The vehicle is integrated with a computerized guidance and fire control system, allowing the combat crew to operate quickly and accurately. The deviation in control is kept at a very low level, with the range and direction angles both less than or equal to one elongation, ensuring high accuracy in real combat situations. The integrated electronic warfare system, along with modern communication capabilities and an intelligent power supply and distribution system, helps the artillery vehicle operate stably and effectively in all environmental conditions.

In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with a 12.7mm automatic anti-aircraft gun, enhancing close-range defense against threats from the air or approaching targets. The laser warning system and smoke generator allow the vehicle to actively avoid guided weapons, increasing survivability on the battlefield. The protective armor meets STANAG 4569 standards, is strong enough to resist small-caliber bullets and artillery shell fragments, providing maximum protection for the combat crew in fierce combat conditions.

In terms of mobility, the vehicle weighs less than 34 tons and has a high speed. This allows the vehicle to easily move on many different types of terrain, from flat asphalt roads to complex mountainous terrain. High mobility allows this artillery system not only to dominate in deploying surprise firepower but also to create a great advantage in tactical retreat.

It can be affirmed that the 152mm wheeled self-propelled artillery vehicle researched and developed by Viettel is a breakthrough in the field of Vietnam's defense industry. The combination of strong firepower, high accuracy, flexible mobility and modern electronic systems has helped this system meet the requirements of a product that ensures speed, accuracy and survivability play a key role.
