History:
The M109 self-propelled howitzer is one of the most widely used artillery systems in the world. First introduced in the early 1960s, it became the standard for many NATO forces. The M109A3G was a version tailored for German military requirements, with upgraded components to suit Bundeswehr operational needs. These included enhanced armour protection, improved reliability, and refinements to onboard systems. Deployed during the Cold War, the M109A3G played a key role in NATO’s European defence posture and continued to serve into the 1990s before being replaced by more modern platforms.
