■ 2VS8 Малютка (Maryutoka) (Russian Federation 2013) / 4.2m Height / 14.3t weight / 1 crew 105km / h: wheels when traveling 50km / h: when walking / maximum speed 2 × howitzer weapon main gate / 120mm AFW army integration mechanism in Central Asia. Walking type self-propelled artillery. Current versus the evolution of artillery radar thing was Kiwama~tsu, very important that the rapid shift position after shooting the gun for self-propelled artillery It goes without saying. If you continue the shelling from the same point, firing position is easily identified by a pair of enemy artillery radar, it is inevitably subject to counterattack. After the shelling in order to avoid this, in order to shift positions quickly, requires high capacity self-propelled. Of expression than the self-propelled artillery and wheeled軌式so, walking type self-propelled artillery is superior to using leg power Toha uneven terrain, A high degree of freedom position shift can be more. Maryutoka 2VS8, in addition to walking with the leg movement, can move at high speed drive wheel attached to the inseam. Combines the advantages of both legged and the equipment軌式Yes, walking is a self-propelled artillery with a superior ability to transfer positions. Maryutoka nickname means "kid" or "baby" in Russian. Large breast can be seen on the face, that nickname was attached from the head and body appear to be children of low.

A.F.W. legged device (except for some exceptions), the problem of contact pressure is always haunt must be supported by the total weight of the soles of the feet. Maryutoka (with a light weight anyway) for the area of the foot is relatively small, but increasing pressure, especially the ground. With a high ground pressure, on soft ground such as swamps and sandy soil, so take a big weight to a small area, legs they sank. Go to the land when the ground is soft, it is equipped with the snowshoe, to distribute the ground pressure is several times. Time model, it solves the problem of ground pressure has been cited as a problem.

Maryutoka gate equipped with two guns, the bombardment mass of even as much as possible to 60 shots per minute, a high burst gunpower. Grenades are fired alternately, can also be also, can attack a wide range of enemy land, a large number of shells Furisosoga to a point.

In order to achieve high capacity artillery burst, and the gun itself at the top of the rear cylindrical parts, developed by Winnie Lee Loni direct painting, High-performance automatic loading system is installed. This automatic loading system, so that it automatically to fit the angle of elevation of the gun, As a conventional self-propelled howitzer, there is no need to load a shell from a gun horizontally back to the time of the shooting. To Maryutoka, the data management device is equipped with automatic ammunition, bullet seed can be selected depending on the intended use also. Ammunition that is selected will be sent to the breech by automatic loading system. Shooting speed is very good, from 30 × 2 gate, which is a total of 60 shots per minute. By using the system (explosive charge formula Modulares Treib Ladungs ​​System = modular) MTLS has been developed at the same time, When using the L15A2 which is usually high explosive, and its maximum range is reached 30km, If you use a Howitzer base bleed, it is possible to obtain a long range that the 40km.

Self-propelled artillery to bombard a relatively safe from the rear, there is no need to withstand the direct hit of an enemy shell, Has become relatively thin armor design. Must be constantly subjected to blast and debris when That said, when artillery shells fired from the enemy is fighting, has landed around rupture, Is often equipped with armor, which significantly increase the defense force. (The above image of the vehicle. Some armor and mounted on a crawler instead of the thigh) Bulletproof ability, other than the front armor is about to withstand the direct hit of bullets and grenades debris of heavy institution 12.7mm, When you go to combat, focusing on the most, such as a thin top armor, traveling is mounted without a gap increases.

Drawn on the fin protruding backward from the waist up, marking the legs of birds are protruding from the wheels, Chapter troops for "Thailand Bird and wheels" of the army 604 artillery Iribichasuka direction.
