RG213s

RG213s is a series of Soviet-designed, 122mm self-propelled howitzers that entered service with the Soviet Army in the late 1960s. The primary role of the RG213s is to provide artillery support to infantry and armored units, with a focus on mobility and firepower. The vehicle is based on the chassis of the T-55 tank, which provides it with a good balance of speed, cross-country capability, and protection. The main armament is a 122mm smoothbore gun, which can fire a variety of ammunition types, including high-explosive, smoke, and illumination rounds. The RG213s is equipped with a commander's cupola and a loader's hatch, allowing for quick and efficient reloading. The vehicle is powered by a diesel engine, providing it with a range of approximately 400 kilometers on the road. The RG213s has seen service with various armies around the world, including those of the Soviet Union, Russia, and several Eastern Bloc countries. It has also been exported to countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The RG213s has been gradually replaced by more modern self-propelled howitzers in many armies, but it remains in service in some countries due to its reliability and relatively low maintenance requirements.
