That howitzer configuration looks like a pain the ass to reload. 

[LoooSeR]

Well, it is field gun mounted on civilian truck... 

 

Donar SPG

Not sure if it belongs here or in the Jihadi Design Bureau thread, but new Jordanian SP 105mm.

 

[CrashbotUS]

These truck mounted field guns really do not seem to take ease of use into account. I get they are cheap, but if it takes 5 minutes to reload or the the loader falls off the truck and gets hurt...

   Old news from 2014, looks like Krasnopol semi-active laser guided artillery shell can be modified with GLONASS guidance by "Kompas" (same company, that is making KAB-500S satelite guided bomb).

   The Israeli Ministry of Defence allowed to publish data on the development of a new rocket called "Heff Dores", 300 km max range, 200 kg warhead. To complement those missiles, several other types of long range rockets were developed - Extra (150 km, 120 kg warhead), Akoler (40 km max, 35 kg warhead), Romakh (35 km). The universal platform "Kotesh" was created to use several types of missiles. Those missiles are consideredas relatively low cost,

TOS-1A in the vicinity of Palmyra

[CrashbotUS]

Was that deployed with the Russian ground units or is it Syrian? I've always liked that particular piece of hardware. 

[Scolopax]

From what I've seen, they've been used solely by the Syrians thus far, but I could be wrong.

[LoooSeR]

TOS-1As in Syria are used only by Russian Forces.

[Scolopax]

Or completely wrong too.

[LoooSeR]

As far as i can tell, it appears that Israel and Russia have an agreement that we will not give Syrian Army any new types of weapons, which means that any serious weapon systems, that are new in Syria, are crewed by Russian Forces personal.
