Features
Development of the G6 Rhino self-propelled gun-howitzer began in the late 1970s. The first prototype was built in 1981. The G6 Rhino saw action in Angola, even before it was mass produced. It entered service with the SANDF in 1988. A number of these self-propelled howitzers were exported to the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
The G6 Rhino is fitted with a 155-mm gun-howitzer, developed from the G5 towed gun-howitzer and additionally fitted with semi-automatic loading system and fume extractor. The G6 Rhino fires HE-FRAG, smoke, illumination and incendiary rounds. It is compatible with all NATO 155-mm ammunition. A total of 47 rounds are carried. The maximum range of fire is 30 km with a standard HE-FRAG projectile and 39 km with rocket-assisted. It also fires newly developed velocity enhanced long-range projectiles with a maximum range of 50 km.
