The Firtina 2 is Turkey’s new-generation self-propelled howitzer, developed to enhance fire support capabilities on the modern battlefield. Building upon the combat experience and operational feedback of the first Firtina system, Firtina 2 introduces improved range, higher accuracy, upgraded electronics and increased crew comfort. Its fully digital mission management infrastructure and enhanced “shoot-and-scoot” capability enable faster, more effective fire missions—significantly boosting the operational efficiency of ground forces.

Technically, Firtina 2 is equipped with a 155 mm / 52-caliber main gun, optimized for long-range ammunition and supported by an improved recoil mechanism for stable, precise firing. The new automatic ammunition feeding system increases the rate of fire while reducing crew workload. Combined with a modern fire-control system, ballistic computers and advanced navigation units, Firtina 2 delivers high-performance, rapid-response artillery support. Additional features such as an onboard air-conditioning system, an auxiliary power unit (APU), enhanced armor protection and upgraded mobility make the platform highly effective in extended operations and demanding terrain conditions.
