The first M-109s entered service in the early 1960s and immediately proved their worth as a major update on the M-44s. The M-109 was also continually updated during its period of service to match evolving operational needs. The 155 mm main armament was also improved with the introduction of the A1 version with its long-barrelled M185 gun, which provided a significantly increased range of fire. The subsequent A2 version incorporated further improvements of the weapon including, aiming, ammunition and target acquisition systems. The M-109 was produced in  large numbers, equipping both American armed forces and key NATO allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNation:\u003c\/strong\u003e American\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1954-1975 - Vietnam War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italeri\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct code:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6589\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Order - ETA 2-4 Weeks.\u003c\/strong\u003e We order this in for you from the UK distributor, so please allow 2 to 4 weeks for it to reach you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56960258802050,"sku":"6589","price":29.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/5842\/9059\/files\/6589_01.jpg?v=1791030058","url":"https:\/\/www.loadeddice.uk\/products\/italeri-1-35-m-109-a2-a3-g-6589","provider":"Loaded Dice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
