Pardon my ignorance but I was just curious what kind of gun this might be. The biggest FA pieces that the Iraqi's had, to my knowledge, were the S-23 (Towed 180mm). We brought a few back to Bragg along with the D-30's to place in front of our Brigade HQ as trophys. The U.S. 8 inch (203mm) SP is bigger than "that" and the U.S. Multiple Launch Rocket System (M.L.R.S.) outclassed and outranged everything, as far as Field Artillery pieces, by ALL forces in-country. O.K., no more off topic questions.....
