A towed gun is a type of artillery piece that is designed to be transported by a vehicle or towed by a tractor. These guns are typically mounted on a wheeled carriage, allowing them to be moved easily to different locations on the battlefield. Towed guns can fire various types of ammunition, including high-explosive shells, and are used for indirect fire support. Towed guns are often employed by military forces due to their versatility and relatively low cost compared to self-propelled artillery. They can be quickly deployed and set up for firing, making them effective in both offensive and defensive operations. Examples of towed guns include the M777 howitzer and the FH70.
