Caesar
155-mm self-propelled gun-howitzer

The French Caesar truck-mounted gun-howitzer, developed by GIAT, is a successor to self-moving artillery guns, fitted with auxiliary power unit. It evolved from the F3 self-propelled howitzer, based on the
AMX-13 light tankchassis. This artillery system was designed to meet the fire support requirements of rapid deployment forces. The Caesar was revealed in 1994. Initial five systems were delivered to the French Army for evaluation in 2003. First production vehicles were delivered in 2007. French Army ordered a total of 72 systems to replace the towed TRF1. Export operators are Thailand and Saudi Arabia (80).

The Caesar is completed with 155-mm / L52 gun-howitzer, fitted with semi-automatic loading system. It fires all standard NATO 155-mm ammunition, including ordinary and rocket-assisted HE-FRAG rounds, cargo rounds with anti-tank or fragmentation bomblets, smoke and illumination projectiles. It is also capable of firing Bonus precision-guided anti-tank munitions. The Bonus round carries two smart anti-tank submunitions to a range of 34 km. Maximum range of fire is 42 km with rocket-assisted HE-FRAG projectile. Maximum rate of fire is 6 rounds per minute. Vehicle carries 18 complete rounds.

The Caesar artillery system has an armored cab which protects the crew members during traveling. It accommodates six crew members and provides protection against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. A 12.7-mm machine gun can be mounted on top of the roof for self-protection.

I found these photos on a Chinese military site.

sina military

The page listed above is known to have malware. And it has NSFW photos & content. You've been warned.

This is the basic caption for all these photos;

In January 2018, soldiers of the French 35th Army Infantry Regiment carried out military exercises in an urban setting.

p.s. I have no clue what any of this very excellent French kit is.......

Unfortunately the Lt colonel who was wounded by the terrorist died from his wound. His heroic action was in line with his way of life. RIP Arnaud.
