The '''Nora B-52''' is a [[Engineering:155 mm|155 mm]] [[Engineering:Self-propelled artillery|self-propelled howitzer]] developed by Military Technical Institute and manufactured by Yugoimport SDPR in Velika Plana, Serbia.

==History==
The first self-propelled Nora B (developed on the basis of Nora C) was designed by the Military Technical Institute in 1984 with a modified 152&nbsp;mm Nora M-84 howitzer mounted on an FAP 8x8 truck bed and was a third generation of artillery systems.<ref>{{cite web|title=TOP 152 MM HOWITZER M84 NORA A|url=http://www.vs.rs/index.php?content=afa87448-0320-102c-8859-e480d5acdc4a|access-date=2012-01-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150720151427/http://www.vs.rs/index.php?content=afa87448-0320-102c-8859-e480d5acdc4a|archive-date=2015-07-20|url-status=dead}}</ref> Later, in 2000s, Military Technical Institute developed new versions of 4th generation artillery systems with 52 caliber 155&nbsp;mm gun for fitting on a new system of Nora family with B-52 designation.

:Newest version planned since 2009 is designated as K2 (25 liter chamber, higher rate of fire, laser guided long range ammunition, smaller crew, new automated functions, smaller weight~25 tonnes, automatic leveling of gun in north direction,new smoke and light grenade) with development started later probably in 2012. As of 2017 at international arms fair Partner 2017 in Belgrade and after a few years of development it was presented newly developed prototype model named "Alexander", It has a new designation now and instead K2 it is called MGS-25 named "Alexander" and comes with 12 rounds ready for fire in a revolver type of automatic loader and has 12 additional ammunition that are stored in a storage box located at back behind the crew cabin and engine-hydraulic compartment. The automatic loading system can reloaded ammunition compartment in a back of a gun.  MGS-25 has a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute and can continue firing operations until all ammunition is used. The Aleksandar has a maximum firing range of 32,5&nbsp;km with standard ammunition and 56&nbsp;km with the 155&nbsp;mm HE ERFB RA/BB (VLAP).<ref name="yugoimport.com"/><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.armyrecognition.com/partner_2017_news_online_show_daily_coverage/aleksandar_new_155mm_8x8_self-propelled_howitzer_yugoimport_partner_2017_12706173.html |title=Aleksandar new 155mm 8x8 self-propelled howitzer Yugoimport Partner 2017 12706173 &#124; Partner 2017 News Online Show Daily Coverage |access-date=2017-06-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170701100710/http://www.armyrecognition.com/partner_2017_news_online_show_daily_coverage/aleksandar_new_155mm_8x8_self-propelled_howitzer_yugoimport_partner_2017_12706173.html |archive-date=2017-07-01 |url-status=live }}</ref> It can use all available ammunition on market for 155mm howitzers designed to withstand pressure in a new larger chamber.
