The Caesar cannon is highly accurate and easy to change, which makes it ideal for maneuvering and difficult to spot.
The weight of the weapons that the truck carrying the cannon can lift is 19.5 tons, knowing that it is 33 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 12 feet high.
Thanks to a 245-horsepower engine, the truck carrying the gun can travel on normal roads at a speed of 50 miles per hour, while the speed reaches 31 miles on rough roads, according to the Intersting Engineering website.
To operate the gun and the carrier vehicle, there must be between four to five soldiers, one of whom works on the use of a satellite positioning system to set the coordinates of the target.
The semi-automatic gun can fire 6 155mm shells at targets with a range of 3 to 31 miles.
