Miscellaneous Info: The Dana 152mm ShKH vz. 77 (Model 77 Wheeled Self-Propelled Howitzer) is based on the TATRA 815 8x8 Truck Chassis. Upgraded vehicles were later designed using the same vehicle chassis.  The first was the Ondava Wheeled Self-Propelled Howitzer.  The Ondava has a lengthened barrel, a different barrel mount, improved turret traverse and an automatic fire control system.  Only a few of these variants were built new, although the Modan Model 77/99 upgrade kit was developed to convert earlier Dana vehicles to the Ondava standard. The final upgrade to this vehicle series was the Zuzana Wheeled Self-Propelled Howitzer.  Among other improvements, the Zuzana mounts a 155mm howitzer which is compatible with NATO ammunition.
