HM 41 is an Iranian howitzer which is claimed to be based on the American M114. In appearance, it is very similar to the South Korean KH179. It has a 155 mm/39 calibre barrel with a muzzle brake to lessen the recoil.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Modlex product: MXF03-000350 HM41-155 mm Howitzer )〕 According to Iranian sources, the 155 mm/39 calibre HM41 weighs 6,890 kg and firing a rocket-assisted High-Explosive (HE) projectile, a maximum range of 30,000 m can be achieved. Firing an unassisted HE projectile, a maximum range of 22,000 m can be obtained. This is an improvement as compared to the M114. The Howitzer has been offered for export. But no country is known to be using it except Iran. A wheeled self-propelled version is reported to be under development. The first prototype was finished in 2011.〔http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8912150853〕 In 2012, Iran unveiled laser guided Basir 155 mm artillery shells which were tested by an HM 41 howitzer.〔(Mashregh news )〕 == Users == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「HM 41」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
