The NORA
B-52 (Novo ORuzje Artiljerije - new artillery weapon) self-propelled
gun-howitzer was developed to replace older artillery equipment in
service with Serbian Army. First 12 NORA B-52's were delivered in
2007 and more systems of this type are ordered. Serbia also has
intentions to export this self-propelled howitzer and 30 are already
in service with Burma (Myanmar).
The NORA
B-52 is fitted with 155-mm / L52 gun-howitzer. It is a further
development of the Yugoslavian M84 NORA A gun-howitzer. The NORA
B-52 fires all standard NATO 155-mm ammunition. It is fitted with an
automatic gun loader enabling rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute.
Vehicle carries a total of 36 rounds. Autoloader holds 12 rounds.

with rocket assisted projectile.
The NORA
B-52 is mounted on the FAP-2832 truck, which is built in Serbia
under Mercedes-Benz license.
