The M119A1/A2 is a lightweight towed howitzer in service with the US Army. The howitzer provides direct and indirect fire support to the forces deployed in combined arms operations.…
I am hugely appreciative of all of your updates re the situation in Ukraine but your use of the phrase "tank ammo" is misleading. 105mm calinbre ammo is now largely defunct as tank ammo but widely used in the M119 howitzer and various other light artillery guns particularly where you are looking for high mobility and going after localised targets rather than entire grid squares. Keep up the good work and if I am wrong and it is indeed the case that older tank guns are being brought to bear I will have no problem providing a Mea Culpa.
