did a quick scope. Seems this particular model of howitzer, the M119-A is the newest model, and improvemnt over the 105. It looks somewhat lighter. Perhaps to get further up the mountain with a sling load of shells and a crew to serve it all in one flight. Maybe they did not make as many of the newer model? Will keep scoping.

Maybe there are some dangerous snow overhangs in Afghanistan that need dislodging? Safety first, I always say.

That picture appears to be an M-102. As an old M-101A1 man, I have a particular affection for that old warhorse. If you put the new Pantel on it, you would have a winner!
