Slovak hopes to clinch $1-b howitzer gun deal

[sancho]

What happened to this deal?Cancelled as of now?Does the Army have a requirement of such a Howitzer?

I thought the requirements were the following
145 Ultra Light 155mm 39 Cal Howitzer - M777
1180 Towed 155mm 52 Cal Howitzer - FH77B05 L52, G5-52, TRAJAN
814 Truck Mounted 155mm 52 Cal Howitzer - FH77BW L52, T5-52, CAESAR
180 Self Propelled-Wheeled 155mm 52 Cal Howitzer - G6-52, ZUZANA 2, RWG-52
100 Self Propelled-Tracked 155mm 52 Cal Howitzer - T6-52, ARZU, RTG-52

Are the RFI's for all the tenders except Ultralight Howitzer going to be floated again?

145 Ultra Light 155mm 39 Cal Howitzer - M777
It's through FMS. No RFPs for this. And if I am not wrong it's 52 cal not 39

Sorry, I put this in the list.The M777 is 39 cal not 52 BTW.
