Last month, reports based on unclear images suggested Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited (KSSL) might have equipped their 155mm/39 calibre Mountain Artillery Gun howitzer-BR with an Automatic Loading System (ALS). However, idrw.org like to clarify that the newer images reveal it’s simply additional cladding for the gun barrel.
Armenia has placed the first export order for this variant, with a confirmed quantity of 72 units. Recent footage from the factory floor shows a dozen or more guns ready for shipment, signifying the initial stages of fulfilling this substantial order.
