The 152mm self-propelled gun manufactured by Viettel is equipped with the latest technology, including anti-bullet and anti-aircraft machine gun capabilities.

As one of the high-tech weapons introduced by the Military Industry - Telecommunications Group ( Viettel ) at the exhibition of 80 years of national achievements, the 152mm wheeled self-propelled artillery is considered a big step forward for the Vietnamese defense industry in researching and manufacturing new generation artillery systems.

According to the introduction at the outdoor exhibition area of ​​the Ministry of National Defense , the 152 mm self-propelled gun is a heavy artillery line, with strong firepower and high mobility, providing fire support for infantry and armor.

The complex is developed based on the Kamaz 6x6m wheeled chassis combined with a 152 mm D20 gun.

The 152 mm self-propelled gun consists of 7 parts: a 152 mm turret mounted on the rear hull; an electronic warfare system mounted directly on the turret; a ballistic calculation system and firing elements; a 12.7 mm automatic anti-aircraft gun system; a laser warning system; smoke and communications ammunition.

About the D20 152 mm gun, this is a heavy ground gun. The gun is automatically controlled, with a maximum rate of fire of 4 rounds/minute; range of 17.4 km. The combat crew of the complex is 5-6 people.

The second weapon system on the 152 mm self-propelled gun is a 12.7 mm automatic anti-aircraft gun complex. This complex is located right on the roof of the fighting compartment and is integrated with an optoelectronic block that allows day and night combat.

In addition to the anti-aircraft machine gun, the vehicle roof is also equipped with smoke grenades for camouflage and a laser target designation warning system for anti-tank missiles. These two weapons are passive defense solutions to protect the combat crew as well as the vehicle from threats on the battlefield.

Regarding the 152 mm self-propelled gun chassis, the combat weight is about 34 tons, the vehicle can move at a maximum speed of 70km/h on asphalt roads.

152 mm self-propelled artillery system rear view. During operation the gun barrel can be lowered and fixed to the chassis.
