Historical Background

In 1959, the first designs for mounting 105 mm guns on the Kanonenjagdpanzer emerged. The KanJpz-2 project was initiated to address the issue of the barrel sticking too far forward. The gun system was moved back to the right side, and the hull front was made asymmetrical. Although the project remained in blueprints, many elements were used in later projects.
