Default Re: SP, MLRS and SPAA Developments

Slovakia

046 152mm Field Gun
048 152mm Battery
- D-20 howitzer - English, Russian nor Czech Wikipedias don't list Czechoslovakia nor Slovakia among its users, and Slovak Wikipedia doesn't mention its usage. IMO it should be deleted as a field gun, while unit 048 152mm Battery should have picture changed to Dana: 23700
(no formation changes needed, since 122 mm field gun remains)

039 ZTS Dana - it carried up to 60 shells (as in Czech and Polish OOB).
Weapon could be renamed eg. to 152mm M77 FH like in Czech oob.
Range is too big (214) - it should be 210 like in Polish OOB - max. range was 20 km = 210 (214 is apparently taken from D-20 firing rocket shells - 24 km).
ZTS is a manufacturer, it could be just Dana, or ShKH Dana (https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShKH_vz._77 )

Same remarks for Dana range in Czech oob (weapon #111) and Ukrainian oob (#111)
Czech Wikipedia confirms only 20 000 m range, although after 2010 new 25-km ammunition was developed, but I don't know if it was bought.


040 Zuzana - in Zuzana the ammunition was reduced to 40 (eg Slovak Wikipedia https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/155_mm...z._2000_Zuzana ).
Weapon's range is only 215, should be 39 km = 229.

043 Himalaya - it remained an export proposal on T-72 chassis. However, Zuzana 2 on a wheeled chassis was adopted, with L/52 gun replacing L/45 and range increased to 41 km (231). Delivered from 7/21. It had a different cab, Ukrainian lbm 4729 can be used.
(Slovak sites: https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/155_mm...fnica_Zuzana_2
https://www.mosr.sk/49792-sk/-delost...nice-zuzana-2/ )

Ukrainian OOB:

175 155mm Zuzana Pl and 814 Zuzana is actually Zuzana 2, and its weapon should have range 231 (now 215), and ammo reduced to 40.

The weapon is shared with 2S22 Bohdana L/52 with 42 km range (it could remain the same, or a new one with range 232 could be created)
