How does this compare to S. Afrika's most advanced artillery piece. In range, weight, accuracy and most important of all, transportability. I understand only one Crusader will fit in the largest transport aircraft. Not very efficient way to get to the battle.

I understand only one Crusader will fit in the largest transport aircraft. Not very efficient way to get to the battle.

From the article:

United Defense has reduced the weight and size of the Crusader vehicle from 60 tons to 38 to 41 tons allowing two vehicles rather than one to be transported on a C-5 or C-17 aircraft.
