The primus chassis is made in the US? or is it an american design?Originally posted by Delta 5:Are you sure?
Actually Singapore has 52 FH-2000 in all along with 52 FH-88.
Other heavy artillery includes 38 M71S and 54 Primus SPH.
(110 Primus chassis were delivered however according to US Arms Transfers to Singapore; check the internet you should be able to find it)

The primus chassis, also known as the UCVP, is made in the US before being shipped here. It is a smaller version of the M109A6 Paladin chassis with components from the M2 Bradley IFV, reason being it is meant for operation in forested areas. A total of 110 were built for the SAF from 2002 onwards. However, the turrets and guns are made by ST in Singapore and fitted onto the chassis locally. 54 turrets and guns have been delivered and no news is available as to whether more will be ordered to outfit the remaining 56 chassis.Originally posted by wonderamazement:The primus chassis is made in the US? or is it an american design?
