Euro-PULS uses an IVECO chassis. In addition to the above-mentioned munitions, the new system will be capable of launching Naval Strike Missile (NSM), GMLRS M31 and Joint Fire Support Missile (JFS-M). The latter will have a launch range of up to 500km.
The German publication Bild wrote this week that the Bundeswehr intends to purchase the Euro-PULS, but this information has not yet been officially confirmed. The acquisition will expand the jet artillery fleet to 80 systems.
