Ready with standard or nuclear shells:

Zoom in on howitzer


  Nuclear capable, if need be, this 3rd Armored 155mm M109A2 howitzer could carry high-explosive, anti-personnel, and white phosphorus rounds as well as the W-48 nuclear shell (of the plutonium-implosion type). Research is continuing to identity the specific unit and two crewmen shown in the photo. Please contact the webmaster if you know that information.
