Panter howitzer
The Panter howitzer was developed by MKEK for Turkish Land Forces Command. It has a 155 mm/52-calibre towed howitzer gun. It is able to fire projectiles to a maximum range of 40 kilometers using extended-range ammunition. Mounted on the forward part of the carriage is an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) that enables the Panter to propel itself at a maximum speed of 20 km/h on asphalt road.
==Development==
The 155 mm/52 calibre Panter towed howitzer was developed in the 1990s to meet the operational requirements of the Turkish Land Forces Command (TLFC). Following trials and modifications with a number of prototype systems, the first production order was placed and the first batch of six 155 mm/52 calibre Panter systems were completed in mid-2002. These were built at the Cankiri facilities of MKEK CANSAS and handed over to the 105th Artillery Regiment in Corlu with a ceremony held at the 1011th Ordnance factories in Ankara. The first production batch of 155 mm/52 calibre Panter consisted of 18 units, which was sufficient to equip one artillery regiment, which has three batteries each of six weapons. While Turkey has carried out extensive upgrades on old US supplied M44 (155 mm) and M52 (105 mm) self-propelled weapons, which have been fitted with a 155 mm/39 calibre barrel, the 155 mm/52 calibre Panter is the first complete artillery system to have been developed in Turkey. It is understood that some assistance during the development phase of the 155 mm/52 calibre Panter was provided by an overseas company. This is understood to be Singapore Technologies Kinetics who have also developed the FH-2000 155 mm/52 calibre towed artillery system to meet the requirements of the Singapore Armed Forces.
