French self-propelled artillery installations CAESAR will be able to shoot up to 70 km
Italian concern Leonardo during the Eurosatory exhibition in Paris announced a new projectile for CAESAR self-propelled artillery mounts.
What is known
The novelty was called Vulcano GLR. She has already passed all the tests. Thanks to the projectile, the firing range of the French CAESAR self-propelled guns will increase from 43 to 70 km. In addition, Vulcano GLR will be able to destroy moving targets. By the way, because The CAESAR self-propelled guns have a 155-mm NATO standard caliber, so in theory, the new shells can also be used with other self-propelled guns. For example, Polish Krab or American M109.
Recall France handed over 18 self-propelled guns to Ukraine CAESAR. For those who are not in the know, this is a French 155-millimeter self-propelled artillery mount designed to destroy manpower, artillery batteries, bunkers, as well as provide passages in minefields and field obstacles.
