Hi, Cirilo

This was a Stug-III that was used as experimental self-propelled launcher for the G-1 rocket. This was a heavy (381mm) rocket made in Spain in the 1970's. Only one such vehicle was made. Here you have some images from the book Órganos de Stalin... Made in Spain: la artillería cohete en el Ejército Español

Hi, Brano

All the information I have comes from the book I cited.
The G-1 rocket was the biggest of the Spanish-designed rockets, with 381mm caliber, being 2.9m long, with 75,6kg of explosives, and a range of 18km. It was spin-stabilized. It was part of a series of heavy rockets (G-0, G-1, G-1B, G-2, G-2B, G-3) with slight different characteristics.
About the Stug-III, when they were retired from active duty they were used in some proyects.
There was a prototype mounting a 105/26 howitzer as self-propelled artillery, and there were projects for mounting a 122/46 gun or an 88/45 anti-tank gun.
