Remote Controlled Howitzer 155 (remotely controlled by howitzer) or RCH 155 is a wheel SAU from the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. This self -wicked is positioned as the world's first artillery system to shoot in motion. "The highlight is that the SAU is able to release a volley of 5 shells at the same time flying on a different trajectory, but they are striking at the same time," Deepstate noted.
The installation is designed on the basis of Panzerhaubitze 2000 and the Donar artillery system and can fire almost all shells of 155 mm caliber. Moreover, the cannon has a striking firing range, which reaches 40 km, and in the case of high-precision ammunition such as Excalibur or Rheinmetall Assegai V-Lap, the distance of fire increases to 54 km. The maximum shooting rate is 9 shots per minute. SAU is equipped with a MTU V8 power installation of 815 hp.
This engine provides a maximum speed of movement of 100 km/h. Another feature of the self -ski is the number of crew - there are only two people in the car: the commander and the driver. We will remind, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine thanked Poland on December 3 for military support and, above all, for the supply of Krab artillery systems. The publication of the defense department noted that the Polish SAU became "a nightmare for the occupiers in the skillful hands of" Ukrainian artillerymen.
