Let's look at more of the Philippines' 155 mm caliber M-71 Howitzers, these ones by the 4th Marine Brigade of the Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) when they conducted at Live-Fire Exercise in Ilocos Norte recently. The Event was attended by the Vice Governor of that Province, Cecilia Araneta Marcos.

I think that these M-71s of the PMC look a little more Bad A** with their Digital Camouflage than those of the Philippine Army (PA), just my Opinion.

Here is the Link to the Post on the Facebook Page of Vice Gov. Marcos containing the original Pictures: https://web.facebook.com/VGCeciliaAranetaMarcos/posts/pfbid0MwTtDhbxSPodC4mBvSDwCdQXWEm1UjVLdLm29T3oV2H21hqgPnCdTCdYnafu1jnYl

Just a look at the only other 155 mm caliber Howitzer that the Philippine Army (PA) is using right now, the M-71. These are made by the same Israeli Manufacturer of the Autonomous Truck Mounted-howitzer System (ATMOS), “Elbit Systems Limited”.

These have been largely overshadowed by the ATMOS in recent Years, for obvious Reasons. The PA should find a Way to upgrade these somehow, like add in an Electronic Fire Control System or something.

The Units in the Pictures belong to the Alpha “Puncher” Battery of 7th Field Artillery (Steel Rain) Battalion of the Army Artillery Regiment of the PA during their Unit and Individual Certification for the Year 2024 recently.
