Artillery tractor
Artillery Tractors (including artillery tractor or artillery tractors ) are tractors or tractors , the harder to advance guns and associated ammunition are designed.
history
The first artillery tractors appeared before the First World War . These were mostly modified agricultural tractors. These tugs were able to move the guns faster than horses and increased the mobility of military units. Although the level of motorization in the armed forces increased overall after the First World War, horses still formed the backbone for the movement of artillery. Not least for reasons of cost, some armies did not replace horses.
Artillery tractors play almost no role in modern warfare, since the generally established maximum caliber for field howitzers is 155 mm. These are dimensions for which a normal, all-terrain truck is sufficient as a traction device, especially since modern self-propelled howitzers or self-propelled guns are becoming more and more popular.
