Historical Record

Provenance & Service

The CAESAR (CAmion Équipé d'un Système d'ARtillerie) by Nexter mounts a 155 mm/52-calibre gun on a 6×6 truck chassis. It can be in action 60 seconds after halting and back on the move within a minute of firing — vital against modern counter-battery radar. It has seen combat in Mali, Iraq, and extensively in Ukraine.
