Soltam L-33 RO’EM gallery
This is another good example of the use of vehicles that are obsolete for their main missions, but can be recycled to others without spending a huge amount of money. Soltam company took the obsolete Tsahal’s
M-4 A3E8
medium tanks and converted them into efficient self-propelled howitzers with systems manufactured in the country itself.
The
M-4A3E8
tank’s original gasoline engine was replaced by a more powerful Cummins diesel engine to maintain the mobility performance after the increase in weight due to the transformation. The
L-33
had a door on each side of the superstructure for crew access and two doors at the rear for munitioning tasks.
The
Ro’em
maintained the efficient running gear of the
M-4A3E8
, but due to the increase in weight, the speed and the autonomy were reduced. The main advantage was to have a good number of howitzers in a short period of time using weapons that did not involve a retraining of the artillery units, since the howitzer was the same
M-68
as the towed version and its ammunition was the same.
