New DIANA 155mm 52 caliber tracked self-propelled howitzer at MSPO 2015 International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce,Poland.

The Diana is based on a new tracked armoured chassis with an armoured turret mounted in the center of the chassis. The suspension consists of each side of seven road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front and the idler at the rear.

This system has been developed for the export market and essentially consists of the complete turret of the ZTS 155 mm self-propelled gun-howitzer Zuzana, normally mounted on an specially modified and armoured Tatra 8 × 8 wheeled chassis. The DIANA can run at a maximum road speed of 60 km with a maximum cruising range of 650 km.

The main armament consists of one 155mm 52 caliber which can fire standard NATO ammunitions. The vehicle carries a total of 80 projectiles and charges with 40 rounds ready to fire in the turret and 40 rounds in the chassis. When travelling, the 155 mm/45 calibre ordnance is held in a travel lock and when not required, folds forwards onto the glacis plate of the tracked chassis.

For its self-protection, a 12.7mm machine is mounted on the top of the turret and four smoke grenade discharger are mounted on each side at the front of the turret.

Due to the installation of an automatic loader, a maximum rate of fire of 5 rds/min can be achieved or 13 rounds in 3 minutes. Using manual loading, a maximum rate of fire of two round every 1 minute can be obtained.

Standard equipment of the DIANA includes firing control system which is linked with digital maps. The main weapon can be used for direct and indirect fire. For direct fire the main gun is fitted with aiming system including TV camera, thermal image camera and laser range finder. The DIANA can fire from a range of 5 to 41 km.

Essentially, this is a returreted Polish Krab SPGH manufactured by the Polish heavy industry manufacturer Huta Stalowa Wola (HSW) in cooperation with BAE Systems and OBRUM (which mates the Vickers AS90 turret to a modified Multipurpose Tracked Chassis (MTC) developed by OBRUM some years ago, which originally utilised some components of the Russian MT-S full-tracked transporter. See also BWP-2000 IFV chassis)

These same turrets were also fitted to T-72 chassis, for Indian army SPGH competitions some years back.

Sir,

Alot of us military enthusiasts visit your website for information. Defence.pk introduced me to your website and as a very popular forum, PDF introduces newbies to websites such as yours. Unlike your website, PDF does not keep the data for almost every piece of military equipment.

PDF members use specs and data, read from your website, to discuss military platforms. PDF has a huge number of members and so, it is responsible for sending a sizable number of visitors to your website.

I suggest that you reconsider your proposal.

Thanks.

Mods, kindly remove the 'roasted' post.

mr Alain Serveas of Army Recognition has valid concerns, which deserve serious responses, as have been provided by some of the senior membership. Let's not have those spoiled by some immature loose cannon.
