Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour les modules ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
Armenia: Ordered from France in 2024 as part of Armenia's procurement diversification; the first artillery the country has bought from a Western supplier. · Ukraine: donated from spring 2022; follow-on batches funded through a French-led coalition · Czechia and the eastern flank: The 8×8 version on a Tatra chassis, contracted in 2021 as the army's new 155 mm gun and delivered from 2024; programme facts only. · Lithuania and the eastern flank: Contracted in 2022 with deliveries announced from 2025 onward; recorded as a programme until the ministry states the fielding. · Belgium and the eastern flank: The new-generation version ordered in 2022 under the Franco-Belgian CaMo partnership; a programme, with deliveries announced for the second half of the decade. · Estonia and the eastern flank: Contracted in 2024 as a second self-propelled gun beside the K9; a programme until the Defence Forces state fielding.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
Long-range precision fires and counter-battery work — a howitzer built around displacement speed in an artillery duel increasingly decided by drones.
Points forts
52-calibre barrel gives reach beyond most Russian tube artillery; firing and displacing in under a minute makes counter-battery kills rare; NATO 155 mm ammunition compatibility including precision rounds.
Limites
The French 6×6 version's soft cab offers minimal protection if caught; barrel wear under wartime firing rates demands a rear-area maintenance pipeline abroad; the drone-saturated front forces constant dispersal and concealment discipline.
Pertinence pour les campagnes
Dérivé : une organisation participant à ces campagnes porte une association d’équipement typée avec ce système. Ce n’est pas la même chose qu’un emploi documenté du système dans la campagne elle-même.
- Le conflit du Karabakh, 1988–2023 February 1988 – September 2023
via Armenian Ground Forces (Documented, moderate confidence)
Identification visuelle
Truck chassis (6×6 French, 8×8 Danish) with a long 155 mm barrel carried over the cab when travelling; open rear working platform with a large hydraulic recoil spade; no turret.
Emploi documenté dans les conflits
In documented Ukrainian service since spring 2022 across the front; publicly credited in the counter-battery campaign, with documented losses low relative to towed systems. Deliveries expanded through the French-led artillery coalition from 2024. CAUCASUS. Armenia's 2024 order is the first Western artillery purchase in the country's history and belongs to the procurement diversification the module tracks; no delivery or use is documented. NATO EASTERN FLANK. The wheeled gun is one of the two self-propelled 155 mm systems the flank's rearmament runs on, beside the K9: Czechia's Tatra-chassis version is in delivery, and Lithuania, Belgium and Estonia have contracted it. The wartime record in Ukraine — displacement speed against drone-directed counter-battery fire — is the published reason several of these orders were placed. Programme facts only; no holdings or unit assignments.
