The crew cab seems to be protected against firing of small arms and shell splinters. The front of the cab is fitted with three small windows and two doors are available on each side.
In road position, the 122 mm howitzer is held in position by a clamp, located to the immediate rear of the cab, which is operated by remote control. The body of the 122 howitzer includes a main platform at the front and two hydraulic trails fitted with self-digging spades and dampers. In firing position, a large spade is hydraulically lowered at the rear to provide a more stable firing platform. On each sides of the truck chassis, there is 6 storage box for charges and ammunition. The 122m howitzer is loaded manually. |
