Recently, Indonesia and Serbia have signed military cooperation agreements with several equipment and weapon systems manufactured by the Balkan country that are of interest to the Armed Forces of Jakarta.
Among these stands out the NORA B-52 wheeled self-propelled artillery gun with a 155/52 mm gun capable of employing all standard NATO 155 mm ammunition.
The NORA B-52 is equipped with an automatic gun loading system that allows a maximum rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute (normal 4 rounds/minute) and has a carrying capacity of 36 155 mm shells.
The autoloader can handle up to 12 ready-to-fire bullets.
The L 52 155 gun reaches a maximum range of 32 km with ordinary M107 ammunition and about 42 km with a rocket-assisted projectile (ERFB-BB) and has an elevation range of -3° to + 65°.
The NORA B-52 is equipped with a modern digital fire control and direction system with GPS positioning capability which significantly improves firing accuracy.
The NORA B-52 weighs approximately 28 tons, is equipped with a Mercedes Benz OM 501-LA diesel engine with a power of 360 hp which allows it to reach a maximum road speed of 90 km/h and a range of 600 km.
This artillery system, beyond the domestic market, has seen a fair amount of success in international sales to Cyprus, Algeria, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Interestingly, Indonesia has ordered in two tranches, consisting of 37 and 18 units respectively, the CAESAR Mk 1 155/52 mm wheeled self-propelled artillery system produced by KNDS FR on Sherpa 5 chassis with 6×6 all-wheel drive.
