Towed light howitzers are typically characterized by their caliber, which is usually between 105mm and 155mm. They are capable of firing a variety of ammunition types, including high-explosive shells, smoke shells, and illumination rounds.
These artillery pieces are often used by military forces for a range of purposes, including providing fire support during offensive operations, defending against enemy attacks, and conducting counter-battery fire to neutralize enemy artillery positions.
