5/3/2002 [EXTRA]: Crusader Self-Propelled Howitzer

<img src="http://www.army-technology.com/projects/crusader/images/crusader8.jpg">

This strangely compelling image comes from <a href="http://www.army-technology.com">army-technology.com</a>, a very cool site.

One Crusader vehicle can fire up to 8 rounds to strike a single target at the same time. The digital fire control system calculates separate firing solutions for each of the 8 projectiles. A battery of six Crusaders can deliver 15 tons of ammunition in less than 5 minutes.

Isn't it funny that there can be such beauty in devastation?

Oh, and it's probably only concidence that it's named the 'Crusader' (that's basically saying "Screw you, Arabs")...
