Requirement for 8 Self-propelled mortars

The Malaysian army has announced a requirement for eight self-propelled mortars. These mortars are likely to be providing organic firepower for units equipped with the Turkish FNSS
armoured combat vehicle (ACV).

According to Janes Defence Weekly, the two contenders that meet this requirement are the French TDA 120 mm 120R 2M rifled system and the Swiss Ruag Land Systems Bighorn 120 mm recoiling mortar system.

It would be likely that the Malaysian army would seek to mount the mortars on existing FNSS vehicles.
