The FH70 Howitzer has a semi-automatic breech mechanism, a detachable auxiliary power unit, and a split-trail carriage that allows for a wide traverse and elevation. The FH70 Howitzer entered service in 1978 and was used by several nations, including Japan, which produced it under license. The ФХ70 Гаубица имеет максимальную дальность стрельбы 30 км с базовыми снарядами и может производить до шести выстрелов в минуту в быстром режиме.
