The M109A2 is an upgraded version of the M109 self-propelled howitzer, a staple in U.S. and allied artillery since the early 1960s. The original M109, introduced in 1963, was designed to provide mobile fire support for armored and mechanized infantry units. By the late 1970s, the need for improved range and reliability led to the development of the M109A2 variant, incorporating several significant enhancements over its predecessor. It featured a longer barrel, extending its range to about 23.5 kilometers (14 miles) with conventional rounds. The upgraded suspension and improved reliability of the vehicle systems allowed for better performance in rugged terrains. Additional improvements included an increased onboard ammunition capacity and more advanced fire control systems.
Widely used during the Cold War, the M109A2 played a crucial role in ensuring the U.S. Army's artillery remained effective in a potential large-scale conflict in Europe. Its combat debut came during the Gulf War in 1991, where its range and firepower were vital for providing indirect fire support in the desert terrain. Though later variants of the M109, such as the M109A6 "Paladin," would supersede it, the M109A2 remains a significant chapter in the evolution of self-propelled artillery.
This upgrade version offers nylon tracks and road wheels for light weight and budget friendliness, while delivering an extensive feature list that includes LED lights, sound, airsoft BB launch, IR battle system (compatible with other brands), and more. This Tongde model features the latest TD 3.0 MFCB (Multi-Function Control Board) for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!
