The kit represents the American M107 self-propelled gun, which was one of the most powerful artillery systems used by the United States Army during the Cold War and earned particular fame during the Vietnam War.

Vehicle History

The M107 is a self-propelled gun with a 175 mm caliber designed in the early 1960s. It was used by the U.S. military from the 1960s until the mid-1980s. Its most significant combat activity took place during the Vietnam War (1965–1973), where its long-range gun allowed it to effectively engage targets even over 32 km away. Apart from the U.S. Army, the M107 was also used by the British, Israeli, and Turkish armies. It remained in service during the Cold War period and was used, among other things, to bombard strategic targets, especially during the battles for Khe Sanh.
