Within the scope of the modernization of the 155 millimeter 52 caliber weapon system Panther Howitzer, which is effectively used by the Turkish Armed Forces, the project initiated with the equity resources of Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi AŞ has been successfully completed and taken its place among our production capabilities. The Yavuz Howitzer, mounted on a 6x6 vehicle to increase mobility and reduce maintenance costs through continuous improvement efforts, competes with equivalent weapon systems produced by a few countries.
