The German defense concern HONDA presented new howitzers on
Piranha HMC AGM and Boxer RCH 155 wheeled chassis at a training
ground near Magdeburg (Saxony - Anhalt), Azernews
reports.
According to the information, 50 units of this equipment may be
sent to Ukraine in the future.
According to NTV, both models "combine the firepower of a
self-propelled howitzer and the speed of an armored personnel
carrier" and are capable of hitting targets at a distance of 54 km.
It is possible that in the future they may be equipped with an
additional module for remote control, the message says.
Germany is the second largest supplier of weapons to Ukraine
after the United States. The total amount of military assistance to
Ukraine from Berlin (provided and promised) is about 28 billion
euros. The budget for 2024 includes more than 7 billion euros for
these purposes.
