The Semovente da 149-40 was a self-propelled gun designed by Italy during World War II. It was based on the chassis of the P40 heavy tank and mounted a 149 mm howitzer in a fixed casemate. The vehicle was intended to provide heavy artillery support for the Italian armored units, but only one prototype was built before the armistice of 1943. The Semovente da 149-40 had a crew of six, a top speed of 25 km/h, and a range of 200 km. It was armed with 12 rounds of high-explosive or armor-piercing shells, and also had a 8 mm machine gun for self-defense.
