Panzerkanone 68

The Panzerkanone 68 ("Armoured gun 68") is a Swiss self-propelled howitzer produced by the Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette (Federal Manufacturing Works) to meet a Swiss Army requirement.

Studies were developed by the Group on Arms Services (GRD) and Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette .

Real development began in 1966 with the mounting of a 15 cm[clarification needed] howitzer on a Panzer 61 chassis.

These possessed a range of not more than 30 km (19 mi) and had a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute with automatic loading.

Two vehicles are preserved; one at the Panzermuseum Thun, the other one at the Schweizerische Militärmuseum Full.
