Germany Sends Four More Armoured Howitzers to Ukraine

Ukraine will receive another four armoured howitzers from Germany. German defence minister Christine Lambrecht says the howitzers will be delivered immediately to aid the Ukrainian army in its fight against Russia.

Kyiv has pushed for the delivery of more of the mobile weapon systems, and Germany says it wants to comply. Germany previously supplied ten howitzers in a joint project with the Netherlands, which donated eight of those weapon vehicles.

According to Lambrecht, that was a success. “The armoured howitzers supplied by Germany and the Netherlands have more than proven themselves in combat.”

The combat vehicles can shoot up to 40 kilometres and also play an important role in the current counter-offensive, according to the Ukrainian army. Germany also supplies ammunition for the howitzers.
