M81A4 LARS unpainted

The LARS variant of the Leopard chassis is a new vehicle, designed to provide mobile rocket fire support. Mounted on the turret is a Royal Ordnance L565 LARS system (Same one used here: [link] with each launcher pod with six 90mm tubes for the rockets. Maximum distance for this system is only thirty kilometers, giving an edge for forces needing a punch but can't afford bigger versions). While it can fire on the move in most situations it simply stays in one spot and fires for increased stability. Mounted on the rear of the chassis is a folding crane that can reload the individual rocket tubes or lift one rocket pack at a time. This particular version was seen on the planet Lisbon and used in the suppression of a rebellion (Weeds of Gold, Amazon: [link] | Smashwords: [link] ).
