Modern howitzers are versatile artillery pieces designed for indirect fire support, capable of firing shells at high angles over obstacles. They often feature advanced technology, including automated loading systems, digital fire control, and GPS-guided munitions, enhancing accuracy and range. Current examples include self-propelled variants like the M109A7 and the PzH 2000, which combine mobility with powerful firepower. These systems play a crucial role in contemporary military operations, providing both offensive and defensive capabilities.

What is the difference between Mortar and Howitzer weapons?
Mortars and howitzers are both artillery pieces, but they differ primarily in design and firing capabilities. Mortars are short-barreled, portable weapons that fire projectiles at high angles, making them effective for hitting targets behind cover or at short to medium ranges. In contrast, howitzers have longer barrels and can fire shells at both high and low angles, allowing for greater range and versatility, particularly in indirect fire support. Overall, mortars are typically used for close support, while howitzers are suited for longer-range bombardments.
