    155mm SpGH ZUZANA

    ZUZANA - 155 mm Self-propelled Gun Howitzer is a Slovak artillery system with a 45-caliber gun and
    automatic loader for loading of both projectile and charge. It is an evolution of the 152mm SpGH DANA self-
    propelled howitzer.
    The system features long range, high accuracy and rate of fire, prompt preparation for firing and high level of
    mobility ensured by a modified TATRA 8x8 chassis. Design of the gun enables to use
    any NATO standard 155mm ammunition available on the market. The Fire Control System enables for
    a Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) mode. One of the unique features of ZUZANA is that the gun
    is mounted externally in between two totally separated compartments of the turret. This makes the crew
    inherently safe from any potentially dangerous mechanics of the gun and autoloader plus the crew is protected
    from the gases generated during firing.

    Variants
    155 mm ShKH Zuzana
    The original wheeled version adopted by the Slovak Army in 1998.

    155 mm ShKH Zuzana 2


    Updated version with a new 52-calibre gun, full 360-degree turret traverse, a new armored cab and further
    reduced crew of 3 enabled by automation. It has passed Slovak Army trials in December 2009.[1] Slovak army
    had ordered 25 vehicles (to be delivered in year 2021 and 2022).[1]
    The new version is claimed to possess Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) capability.

    155 mm ShKH Himalaya


    1990's adaptation of the original system to a tracked chassis required by export customers. It is essentially a
    Zuzana turret mounted on a T-72 chassis. The tracked version so far did not achieve orders beyond initial
    evaluation units and further production is unlikely.
