G6 Rhino

G6 Rhino 155-mm Self-Propelled Gun-Howitzer

The G6 Rhino is a combat proven artillery system. This self-propelled gun-howitzer is in service with the SANDF.

I picked this up in SA, it looks like an interesting read. Luckily it advertises that it gives both sides of the conflict, and a Cuban perspective as well. Despite being a hot-button issue (which I understand) the African wars of the 1960s-1990s are an under appreciated study in COIN.
