Best Self-Propelled Howitzers(Artillery) of 2026 (and Beyond)

A self-propelled howitzer (SPH) is a powerful artillery system mounted on a tracked or wheeled armored vehicle, combining heavy firepower with high mobility. Unlike towed artillery, SPHs can move, deploy, fire, and relocate quickly, making them highly survivable on modern battlefields. They are designed to deliver indirect fire support over long distances using high-explosive, precision-guided, smoke, and illumination shells.

Modern self-propelled howitzers feature large-caliber guns, usually 122mm, 155mm, or 152mm, with advanced autoloader systems, reducing crew workload and increasing rate of fire. Integrated digital fire-control systems, GPS, inertial navigation, and battlefield networks allow rapid target acquisition and accurate fire missions within minutes. Many SPHs can perform “shoot-and-scoot” tactics, firing multiple rounds and relocating before enemy counter-battery fire.

With armored protection against small arms and shrapnel, and the ability to operate in all terrains and weather conditions, self-propelled howitzers play a crucial role in modern warfare. They provide sustained, precise, and responsive artillery support to mechanized and armored forces, making them a backbone of today’s land combat operations.
