The TRF1, originally known as GIAT 155 mm Tracté (TR) is a 155mm French towed howitzer produced by Nexter (ex Giat Industries) and used by the French Army.
The TRF1 was showcased in 1979 at the Eurosatory arms trade show, as a replacement for Armée de Terre's BF-50. Giat produced it from 1984 to 1993.
The TRF1 was used in combat by Ukrainian Ground Forces during the 2022 invasion of the Ukraine. Photographic evidence shows that at least one TRF1 was destroyed in combat near Lyman.[3]
