Default Re: OOB 05 unit 121 dates

On the list. I'll look into this in the new year. I remember putting it in and something nags that there was a reason for that date

This from Janes so I will be digging deeper into this one

Type 96 120 mm self-propelled mortar (Japan), Self-propelled mortar systems

Development
The Type 96 120 mm self-propelled mortar system was developed in the early 1990s to meet the operational requirements of the Japanese Ground Self-Defence Force for a mobile and protected mortar system to provide fire support for its mechanised infantry units.Following trials with prototype systems it was type classified as the Type 96 120 mm self-propelled mortar and placed in production. It is believed that production has been at a very low rate with just three being procured in 1999. By late 2007 it is estimated that at least 35 vehicles had been built.

OK dug out some info. Should be a start date of 1/93 end date 12/120
