A towed howitzer is a type of artillery that is designed to be transported by a vehicle and set up for firing in a stationary position. These weapons are typically mounted on a wheeled carriage, allowing them to be moved easily to different locations on the battlefield. Towed howitzers are known for their versatility and can fire a variety of ammunition types, including high-explosive and guided projectiles. Once in position, a towed howitzer can deliver powerful long-range fire support. They are often used by military forces around the world, including those of NATO countries, and can be operated by a small crew. Their ability to be towed by vehicles like trucks enhances mobility and logistical efficiency in military operations.
