The Nora B-52 is a Serbian self-propelled 155mm/52-caliber wheeled howitzer developed by Yugoimport-SDPR, mounted on an 8x8 FAP truck chassis. Featuring a fully automated loading system that achieves 6 rounds per minute, the Nora B-52 fires NATO-standard 155mm ammunition to a range of 41 km with standard projectiles and 51 km with base-bleed extended-range rounds. The wheeled chassis provides 100 km/h road speed, enabling fire-and-displace tactics to avoid counter-battery radar. Bangladesh acquired the Nora B-52 to provide modern self-propelled artillery for combined arms operations and fire support missions.
