Pretty impressive piece of hardware there at $8.5m a pop. It has a 120mm main gun that can shoot off 15x per minute; anti-artillery defense system .. 45mph speed oh.. and the best part is that it's amphibious. Also has smart ammunition that can avoid obstacles, I just wish they gave a little bit more detail on that.

Dont know if they are just refering to the mortarlike trajectory going over obstacles or if it actually jumps over obstacles detected by the mm-radar.
