Europe’s KNDS defense holding unveils new howitzers, come may be sent to Ukraine

European defense industry holding company KNDS unveiled its new Piranha HMC AGM and Boxer RCH 155 howitzers at a testing range in Germany, which, according to the NTV television, may be sent to Ukraine, reported from TASS.


According to the report, Kyiv may receive 50 such howitzers

Both models "combine the firepower of a self-propelled howitzer and the speed of an armored vehicle," the report says. They can strike targets within the range of 54 km and may be equipped with an additional remote control module in the future.

Germany is Ukraine’s second-largest military equipment donor after the US. Berlin’s deliveries are estimated at 28 billion euros. The country’s budget for 2024 allocates over 7 billion for the purpose.
