Germany Sends First Batch of Powerful Howitzers to Ukraine
The German government has delivered the first batch of 54 RCH 155 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine. This is according to a statement made by Germany’s Foreign Minister, Boris Pistorius.
Six of these powerful guns will stay in Germany to train Ukrainian soldiers. The remaining 48 howitzers will be used by Ukraine’s military. This delivery was promised in July 2022.
Germany’s Foreign Minister said that this move shows that Ukraine can count on their support. He also emphasized that Germany is ready to take responsibility for the situation in Europe.
Ukraine’s Ambassador to Germany, Oleksii Makeiev, accepted the first batch of howitzers on behalf of his country. The RCH 155 is a new type of artillery gun that combines a powerful turret with an armored vehicle base. It can fire shells up to 54 kilometers away and move quickly over land.
This is the first time Ukraine has received this type of military equipment. The delivery is seen as a significant step in strengthening Ukraine’s military capabilities.
