Patria contemplating resuming production of the 155GH52 towed howitzer. Compared to the American M777, it is a significantly longer caliber (= longer range) and equipped with an auxiliary power unit enabling it to be moved on the field without a tow vehicle. Current users: Finland and Egypt (latter without the APU).

Patria's plans aren't just to resume production of 155GH52 (155K98) as a towed howitzer, but to integrate the gun on the bed of a Sisu 8x8 truck as a self-propelled howitzer akin to the French Caesar or Ukraine's 2S22 Bohdana. Same calibre as Caesar, so same range. Comments indicate intent is to build a simpler, cheaper system than Sweden's Archer.
