Type 75 155 mm self-propelled howitzer

The Type 75 155 mm self-propelled howitzer (75式自走155mm榴弾砲, nana-go-shiki-jisou-155mm-ryuudan-hou) is an armored artillery vehicle in the exclusive use of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.

Self-propelled howitzers are employed to provide mobile heavy fire support to army units in the field.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries developed the chassis, which was based on the Type 73 armored personnel carrier, while the howitzer and turret were designed by Japan Steel Works.

As of 2001 Japan reported to the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs that 201 Type 75s were in service.
