Here Are The Main Reasons Why The UK Chose The RCH 155, Over K9, Caesar, Archer Howitzer

In January 2020, the UK’s DE&S agency released key user requirements. Initial goals included an 80km range, which was later deemed unnecessary due to overlap with the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System. Instead, the programme refocused on a 155mm L52 gun, either wheeled or tracked, with enhanced range, accuracy, and modularity to allow future upgrades.

The Mobile Fires Platform programme attracted several contenders, reflecting a debate over wheeled versus tracked platforms. Key options included:
Archer 8x8 (BAE Systems Bofors)
Caesar 6x6 (Nexter)
K9 Thunder Tracked (Hanwha Defense)
RCH 155 6x6 (KMW)

Of all these candidates, the RCH 155 was chosen as the UK's Mobile Fires Platform.
So, why did the UK choose the RCH 155? Watch this video until the end to find out.
