The M-109 self-propelled artillery was developed on the basis of a precise request of the US army: to have a heavy howitzer with great mobility on any type of terrain capable of replacing the dated M-44. The first M-109s came into service in the early 1960s and immediately proved the validity of the project. The M-109 was also constantly improved to update it to the evolution of operational needs. The main 155 mm armament was also improved with the adoption starting with the A1 version of the long-barrel M185 cannon characterized by a significantly increased range of action. The next version A2 incorporated further improvements on weapon targeting ammunition and target acquisition systems. It was produced in a large number of specimens equipping the American armed forces and the main Allied Countries of N.A.T.O. SAFETY WARNING For adult collectors over the age of 14
