Slovakia's new Eva 155 mm SP gun breaks cover

摘要

Slovakia's Konstrukta Defence launched a new 155 mm Self-propelled Gun-Howitzer (SpGH) at the IDET exhibition in Brno. The new system, known as the Eva Truck Mounted Gun, essentially mates a 155 mm L/52 ordnance with a modified Tatra 6×6 light truck chassis, but an 8x8 chassis is available as an option. It was developed in just nine months, by exploiting a range of sub-assemblies drawn across from the proven Zuzana 2 howitzer. Development was mostly privately funded by Konstrukta Defence, but with some support from the Slovak defence and economic ministries.
