Artillery And Mortars

The AMX-30 AuF1 is a French self propelled gun currently in service with the army of Saudi Arabia, which replaced the earlier Mk F3 155mm in French Army service. Its main advantage over the Mk F3 is full armor and nuclear, biological and chemical protection for its four man crew, since the Mk F3 offered no protection and could carry only two of its four crew members; the AuF1 saw combat with the Iraqi Army during the Iran-Iraq War.
