Standard size used by NATO. It's also used by a number of other Iranian guns including the M109 SPG.

I see. I thought it was the higher caliber artilleries and had a specific usage.

These trucks are mass produced in Iran ? Seems like it.

Ayyash, which man truck?

Also it looks nothing like the M114.

I'm not sure exactly what they're designation is, but they appear to belong to the "high mobility" family of vehicles.

The HM-41 is the M-114 with a greater barrel caliber/length.

The truck Iran is making looks differen ayyash, i notice minor differences.

Shirazi · « **Reply #33 on:** March 06, 2011, 05:49:04 PM »

It doesn't have the Man logo and is being used on a lot of things so it could be made in Iran and based on the MAN.

Pictures from Jamejam and IRNA uploaded to the gallery.

Ayyash , recently usually photos of military products are taken by just one photographer ( usually vahidreza Alaei, i think he is photographer of defence ministry) then photos will be send to news agancy and they publish them with their name if you notice usually all photos of all news agancies are the same and have been taken by Vahid-Reza Alaei

This is because they are different trucks, they're just part of the same family.

They might have been taken by the same person, but depending on the event, some news outlets might not publish the exact same ones. For instance, IRNA has a different, much larger set then Jamejam.

yes youre right.
IRNA is news agancy of Goverment, so it is possible they have better images or have pictures that others havent.

Something else, is that a long row of Fajr-27 turrets in the background? I see at least four (one directly behind this howitzer plus three more barely visible near the back of the warehouse.

Something's gotta arm all the new Mowjs and Sinas (maybe) they're building.

What are the specs of this truck? Specifically the one produced in Iran.

I'm not sure of the specific model used, and presumably built, in Iran.

Artillery idea is great ! On a wheeled vehicle . I hope it can fire Iran's new laser guided shells .

Do you know what ever happened to those? I haven't heard anything besides that one picture.

Nothing beats a mobile artillery unit.Quick to deploy, pound a couple of enemy positions, drive out before they're even able locate where the fire's coming from to launch counter attack (Keyword here is mobility and deny-ability)..And not just that..it's a 155mm artillery..I wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end of these monsters.They sure pack a hefty punch..

Yes
I'm assuming the one marked with a question mark is the barrel for #1.

The ones marked 2,3,4 look like the bottom housing for the Fajr-27.

Eagle2009 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 06, 2011, 11:27:02 PM »

Needless to say, a good development indeed.

Such Self Propelled guns are much cheaper to build, transport, and maintain compared to tracked SPH's like the M109.

Their only real faults are they often lack a real fire control system which makes them not as accurate and as as somebody already pointed out, the likely get a lot more wear and tear than heavier tracked SPHs.

So one wonders if this new gun has a modern fire control system or not?

nomad · « **Reply #48 on:** March 07, 2011, 12:01:00 AM »

Iranians were making computers for fire control some years ago . So I can say that it most probably has one . Modern computer can allow for :

(1)Range.

(2)inclination.

(3)Altitude.

(4)Wind.

(5)Position relevant to earth axis.

Eagle2009 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 07, 2011, 12:06:45 AM »

I am well aware of Iran's fire control systems I was just curious as to whether this system has one. Not all truck-mounted systems do for cost reasons.
