Primus--one of the best armoured SPH?
-
The Primus is a 155mm 39 calibre track-based Self Propelled Howitzer. Mobile and lethal, the Primus has a range of cutting-edge automation technology built into it and allows a minimal 4-man crew (inclusive of driver) to effectively operate

I found that Primus is one of the lightest armoured SPH.ATMOS 2000 155MM SELF-PROPELLED ARTILLERY SYSTEM of ISRAEL is only 22,000kg.
How can it compare with other modern armoured SPH?
In overall,tell us if it is really good.No need shy to say so.Give a fair comments!!

Do some home work in armoured SPH lah. -
It was not made for comparison. It was made by us, for us.

Well said.Originally posted by ditzy:It was not made for comparison. It was made by us, for us. -
Kao...there's a reason they built the Primus lor...
It meets our requirements, that's why it aint sold overseas. -
PZH 2000 155MM SELF PROPELLED HOWITZER is regarded as the best with awesome firepower range and excellent crew protection but as what the previous post said,Primus is make for us,a tailor make SPH! The weight and size of Pzh2000 is too much for us to handle in a tropical area.

Weighing only 24 tons, the NLOS-C Demonstrator features a 560 horsepower hybrid-electric propulsion system that enables top speeds of 55 mph (90 kph) over the road and 35 mph (56 kph) over varied terrain to give the Army quick maneuvering, big-gun fire support without the usual big-gun logistical footprint.
Below: Is it in stealth mode?All covered up!!
The NLOS-C Demonstrator's lithium-ion batteries also allow the system to travel up to 2.5 miles at 20 mph in silent mode - giving soldiers stealth mobility/silent watch capabilities that are critical in urban environments.
As part of the FCS family of manned ground vehicles, the objective NLOS-C system will be required to weigh less than 20 tons, be C-130 aircraft deployable and combat ready upon theater entry to ensure combat units can get to the fight and defeat threats more quickly. The NLOS-C Demonstrator has proven that a 20-ton class vehicle can support a 155 mm cannon and is a viable option for meeting the U.S. Army's artillery needs.
