<h2>Armament</h2><p>152 mm Gun-Howitzer D-20 ; 152 mm Gun-Howitzer 2A65 ( M1987 or MSTA-B); 152 mm 2A61 Howitzer; 152 mm Howitzer M1943 (D-1); NORINCO 152 mm Gun-Howitzer Type 66 ; NORINCO 152 mm Gun-Howitzer Type 37; 152 mm Model 1981 Howitzer ( Romania ); 152 mm Model 85 Gun-Howitzer ( Romania ); 152 mm Gun-Howitzer M84 series (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ). Self-propelled equipments include: 152 mm Self-propelled Howitzer M-1973 ( 2S3 ); 152 mm 2S19 Self-propelled Gun-Howitzer; NORINCO Type 83 Self-propelled Gun-Howitzer; 152 mm Self-propelled Howitzer DANA and ONDAVA.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>The 152 mm HE ER (Extended Range) EOFd is a Czech/Slovak development, originally intended for use with the 152 mm self-propelled howitzer DANA, although it can be fired from other 152 mm towed and self-propelled howitzers. The projectile is available in two versions, one with a hollow boat-tailed base unit providing a maximum range of 20,000 m and the other with a rocket-assisted unit providing a maximum range of 32,000 m. It is extremely likely that this projectile was based on the design of a Russian Federation and Associated States (CIS) original about which little information has been forthcoming. NORINCO has developed a special hollow base HE round for use with their towed 152 mm Gun Type 83 which has a 45-calibre barrel. This projectile is apparently also known as the 152 mm Type 83 and can be fired to a range of 30,370 m.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>As with other 152 mm rounds the HE ER EOFd is a separate loading munition. The projectile has a more streamlined outline than the standard 152 mm FRAG-HE OF-540 projectile and is much longer at a nominal 831.31 to 837.31 mm. The high-fragmentation steel body has relatively thin walls and a single copper drive band, while the boat-tailed base has a deep recess. The filling is 8 to 8.1 kg of TNT, initiated by a nose-mounted point detonating KZ-88 or RGM-2 fuze. The lacquered steel cartridge case contains a different variable charge propellant system from other 152 mm rounds. The system comprises a basic four-bag system in three layers to which are added a further four bags, again in three layers. The propellant involved with all the bags is NDT-3 powder and the total weight is 8.1 kg. The bags are retained in place by two covers, the upper of which uses a light grease seal. The case uses a KV-4 percussion primer threaded into the base while the bottom of the case interior is occupied by igniter rings and anti-flash additives. The 152 mm HE ER EOFd has a muzzle velocity of 655 m/s and a maximum range of 20,000 m without rocket assistance; with rocket assistance the range is 32,000 m.</p><h2>Authorised fuzes</h2><p>PD KZ-88 and RGM-2 Equivalent projectiles SLOVAKIA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>ZVS Dubnica</p><p>Type: 152 mm EOFd</p><p>Description: See text</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>VIHORLAT As Snina</p><p>Type: 152 mm EOFd</p><p>Description: See text</p>
