Fotogalerija Merkava Howitzer Sholef, Two prototypes of Sholef (“Slammer”, Hebrew slang for “Gunslinger”) 155 mm self-propelled howitzer with automatic loading system were built by Soltam in 1984–1986. The 45-ton vehicle had a long 155 mm gun barrel giving a range of 45+ km. Using GPS, inertial navigation, and an internal fire control computer, it was also capable of direct fire while on the move. It never entered production. The Slammer is a heavily armored artillery gun mounted on a modified Merkava Mk 1 chassis. Many of these vehicles are Merkava Mk 1 that were retired after the Merkava Mk 2 and Merkava Mk 3 came into service. The Slammer has a long 52-caliber gun barrel that allows +10% range. Reload speed may be decreased to 1 for one minute every 10 minutes through use of an automatic loader. Ammunition racks are large. The Slammer is ready for autonomous operation (without an FDC) if the target’s location is known within 15 seconds of a halt, using GPS, inertial navigation, and an internal fire control computer. The Slammer 155 mm self-propelled howitzer is based on a modified Merkava MBT chassis fitted with a new welded steel turret, designed by Soltam Systems. Development commenced in the 1970s. The project was considered of high national priority and incorporated the newest technological developments. Instead the Israeli Defense Forces selected an upgraded version of American M109 howitzer.

V Merkava Howitzer Sholef je samohodni topniški sistem, ki ga je razvila izraelska vojaška industrija (IMI) in temelji na šasiji tanka Merkava Mark I. Sholef, kar v hebrejščini pomeni "slammer", je bil zasnovan za zagotavljanje ognjene podpore na dolge razdalje izraelskim obrambnim silam (IDF) v različnih bojnih scenarijih. Sholef ima 155 mm / L52 pištolo z avtomatskim polnilnikom, ki lahko izstreli do 10 krogov na minuto na največji razdalji 40 km. Sholef lahko strelja tudi z vodenim strelivom, kot sta M982 Excalibur in Krasnopol, za večjo natančnost in smrtonosnost. Sholef ima štiričlansko posadko: poveljnik, voznik, topnik in nakladalec.
V Sholef je zaščiten z modularnim oklepnim sistemom, podobnim tanku Merkava, ki lahko prenese udarce protitankovskega orožja in min. Sholef ima tudi prefinjen sistem za nadzor ognja, laserski daljinomer, termovizijski pogled in navigacijski sistem GPS. Sholef lahko deluje samostojno ali kot del omrežnega topniškega sistema in sprejema ciljne podatke iz brezpilotnih letal, satelitov ali drugih virov. Sholef je bil prvič predstavljen v poznih 1980-ih in ga je IDF uporabljal v več konfliktih, kot sta druga libanonska vojna in vojna v Gazi. Sholef velja za eno najnaprednejših in najučinkovitejših samohodnih haubic na svetu.
