The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in the early 1990s, and serial production continued in 1992-1995, ending with the production of 179 vehicles. AS-90 is engine driven Cummins VTA 903T-660 with a power of 660 hp. The vehicle is armed with a single 155 mm Royal Ordonnance L31 cannon howitzer and a single 7.62 mm machine gun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAS-90 was created to replace the M109 self-propelled howitzer from the United States. Originally, at the beginning of the 1980s, work was carried out on a new SP-70 self-propelled gun in several European countries in cooperation. However, in 1986, the cooperation was terminated and participants of the SP-70 program, including the United Kingdom, started working on their own. The fruit of these works is - in the case of the British army - precisely AS-90. It is undoubtedly a modern weapon with decent parameters: it has a good rate of fire (up to 18 shots in 180 seconds) and an acceptable range of the shot: the classic missile has a range of about 25-26 km, and a gas generator up to 30 km. AS-90 it is exclusively owned by the British armed forces and has not been exported to other countries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026B Importers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67778687860951,"sku":"TRU00324","price":725.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/6168\/5463\/files\/187_rd_b7158a4e-74b8-4790-8f28-f3feafa09609.jpg?v=1792067011","url":"https:\/\/aviationshop.co.za\/products\/british-155mm-as-90-self-propelled-howitzer-1-32-scale-trumpeter-tru00324","provider":"The Aviation Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
