Germany Delivers Self-Propelled Howitzers to Ukraine

Germany Delivers Self-Propelled Howitzers to Ukraine

Strengthening Ukraine's artillery capabilities, Germany reaffirms its commitment to European security.
In a significant move bolstering Ukraine's military strength, Germany has delivered state-of-the-art self-propelled howitzers to the country.

The handover took place in Kassel, central Germany, where German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius underscored Germany’s commitment to supporting Ukraine amid ongoing regional tensions.

"Ukraine can count on us; Germany is prepared to take responsibility in Europe," Pistorius declared during the ceremony.

The event was highlighted by the symbolic acceptance of the first howitzer by Oleksii Makeiev, Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany.

This delivery is part of a larger commitment of 54 self-propelled howitzers destined for Ukraine's armed forces.

For the moment, the first six units will remain in Germany to facilitate the training of Ukrainian soldiers.

This strategic preparation aims to ensure efficient use of the artillery systems when deployed.

"We do not need intermediaries; we need allies," Ambassador Makeiev stated, reflecting Ukraine's reliance on direct international partnerships.

Makeiev also emphasized the importance of international support in Ukraine's fight for peace, expressing his appreciation for Germany’s alliance, "It is reassuring to know Germany stands by Ukraine."

These advanced artillery pieces, the RCH 155, are a product of KNDS—a joint venture between German defense manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and French company Nexter.

Acclaimed as "the world's most advanced self-propelled howitzer," the RCH 155 features capabilities like firing while in motion and remote operation, requiring a mere two operators due to its high level of automation.

Such technological advancements are poised to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Ukraine's military operations, setting a new standard in modern warfare.

These developments not only highlight the evolving military collaboration between Germany and Ukraine but also reflect broader European security dynamics in the face of global uncertainties.
