Bangladesh Army Upgrades Yugoslavian 105mm M56 howitzer

[The Ronin]

From some recent pictures comparing with the olds, it makes a clear sense that Bangladesh Army is upgrading the Yugoslavian 105mm M56 howitzer; some of those have been spotted in the recent hardware exhibitions. The upgraded M56 howitzer, known as M56/33 also, has many changes in it comparing to the regular M56 howitzers which provide better service. A brief description is given below for being easily understandable.

Upgradation kit:

1. New 33-caliber barrel replacing the old 28-caliber barrel;
2. New double buffle muzzle break;
3.New breech and breech block;
4. Modified pneumatic equilibrator &
5. Additional weight on trails.

Advantages:

1. Increased firing range by using new HE-ER BB shell with 18.1 km range (old one had 16.6 km range) and new HE-ER BT shell coving the distance of 15 km (old shell had 14.5 km range);

2. Capability of firing all 105mm NATO rounds;
3. Upgradation kit weights only 233 kg which is only 11% of standard M56 howitzer &
4. Upgrade operations are carried out locally.
