TECHNOLOGY OF THE PRESENTBefore i introduce you to the equipments and types of technology the army uses,lets take a look at what each soldier is equipped with in their bunkroom (as shown) :
however,we do know that there are many sub branches under army itself hence i will talk more about the division under armour,artillery,combat engineers and guards.the different types of military vehicles,war tanks etc.ARMOUR:
Armour provides impregnable support for land forces defending key objectives.they are extensively trained and highly motivated soldiers of Armour who are Armour's most potent weapons. Trained for high operational readiness on the state-of-the-art equipment that includes the Armour Gunnery Tactical Simulator, they are a vital part of a force that is always at the forefront spearheading the way for the Army.AMX 13-SM1
Bionix 40 / 50 Variant
M113 Ultra Ows
ARTILLERY
The primary role of the Artillery is to deliver timely, accurate and effective fire in support of the manoeuvre force to accomplish its missions. As the Artillery is an indirect fire support system, the gunners at the weapons do not need to see the targets in order to engage fire.
FH2000 52 Calibre 155mm Field Howitzer
designed and developed by ODE for long range fire support, boasts state-of-the-art capabilities and performance in firepower, battlefield survivability and system availability
FH88 52 Calibre 155mm Field Howitzer
