A towed howitzer is a type of artillery that is designed to be transported by a vehicle and can be deployed in various terrains. It consists of a large barrel mounted on a wheeled carriage, allowing it to be moved easily to different locations. Once in position, the howitzer can be aimed and fired to provide indirect fire support on the battlefield. These weapons are often used by military forces for their versatility and mobility. Towed howitzers can fire a variety of ammunition types, including high-explosive shells and guided projectiles, making them effective for different combat scenarios. They are typically operated by a crew and can be towed by vehicles such as trucks or armored personnel carriers, enhancing their operational flexibility.
