1. М119 гаубица is a lightweight towed field gun that can fire 105 mm semi-fixed ammunition. It is based on the British L119 light gun, which was adopted by the US Army in 1989 to replace the older M102 howitzer. The M119 can be transported by helicopter or airdropped by parachute, making it suitable for airborne, mountain and light infantry units.
The M119 has a maximum range of 19.5 km with rocket-assisted projectiles and can fire up to eight rounds per minute. The M119 has undergone several upgrades over the years, such as digital fire control, improved recoil system and low-temperature capability. The M119 is currently used by the US Army and some allied countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Ukraine.
