Don't believe everything Jane's says...they are just
writers..
They need to fill up enough pages - so that the magazine looks
proper to attract advertisers and keep subscribers entertained.
They are nothing more than tabloids...most of the time
speculating, guessing....
I don't see a point/reason in SAF even thinking of having a 8x8
SP howitzer. If we wanted to, we would have bought off-the-shelf
... very unlikely
The Primus already serves the SP role and very well - since its
tracked.
There's no need for wheeled versions - those are for countries
who can't afford tracked SP guns... Do you see any first-world
cutting edge military using them? No. Do you think they can fill
any role Primus can't ? No.
If what you say is true,
1 Singapore would have bought off the shelf SPH and not
developed Primus.
2. ST would not be exhibiting that wheeled gun model.
3 Those countries operating ARCHER and CAESAR would be poor
countries.
4 Singapore would have bought the tracked M270 instead of the
wheeled HIMARS.
