AUF1 TA 155 mm – French Artillery Power

The AUF1 self-propelled howitzer was developed in France in the late 1970s as a modern response to the Soviet threats of the Cold War era. It was created by combining the proven AMX-30 tank chassis with a modern artillery turret armed with a 155 mm howitzer. Introduced into service in 1977, it was primarily used by the French Army, but also, to a lesser extent, by Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The AUF1 saw intensive use during conflicts in the 1980s and in UN operations in the Balkans in the 1990s.
