#Nigeria:ISWA again showed off the use of a 122mm D-30 howitzer against NA positions in Goniri #Yobe. We can see what looks to be Serbian TF-462A1 HE pattern projectiles, likely RGM-2 fuzes used. Seems to be a different truck/gun to those seen previously. RT @CalibreObscura: #Nigeria: Wow, this is something; ISWA showed off the use of a 122mm D-30 howitzer against NA positions in #Yobe- as we can see it is mounted on a truck to facilitate mobile firepower. The projectiles vary, but appear to be 53-OF-462 HE or similar. Note up armouring also.
