Self-propelled howitzers have several advantages over towed artillery, including:
Mobility
Self-propelled howitzers can move on various types of terrain and can quickly change positions. This is useful in mobile conflicts, especially on open battlefields.
Speed
Self-propelled howitzers can be brought into action much faster than towed artillery. They can stop at a chosen location and start firing almost immediately.
Safety
Self-propelled howitzers can be mounted on wheeled chassis that allow them to travel quickly on the road and deploy quickly in rough terrain. This increases the safety of the crew.
