M109 / M109A6 Paladin, which is manufactured by the Cleveland Army Tank Plant (which formerly was a Cadillac plant). -- Last edit: 2006-07-04 23:25:17 |

If I remember well, it is considered as armoured. A discussion about that: /vehicle.php?id=29271 |

Actually most of the "armoured" & "non-car" & "non-truck" are tracked (tanks, etc.) The "tracked" category was for civil vehicles |

I don't think it is the A6 variant, as the commanders cupola is lower and the equipment mounts on the turrets side are different. I would say it is based on the A2 version, which was upgraded to A3, A4, and A5 successively. The M109 was produced by Cadillac, Chrysler and Allison. The latest A6 variant was produced by BMY Combat Systems and United Defense L.P. The category 'Military Armoured Vehicle' is for all armoured vehicles of the military or semi-military forces. This does not include any soft-skin military vehicles, nor any armoured cash transports or civilian cars. The category 'Tracked Vehicles' is for all tracked and half-tracked vehicles that are not armoured, either military or civilian, e.g. tracked farm tractors, snow-mobiles, soft-skin military tractors, tracked or half-tracked. |
