However, really cool stuff. Now I am curious on the missile detection part of the equation. How does the gun know what to load and when? Does FDC feed it from the Q series radar? Is there a special package fitted to the howitzer?
Regardless, shooting down missiles with a howitzer is very cool.
the correct acceptable nomenclature would be the M109X self propelled gun, M109X self propelled artillery piece, , M109X self propelled howitzer any of those would work.
but for some if it has tracks, a turret, and a big gun it's a tank.
