This is the best light howitzer on earth and at the end of the day in terms of what russians generals fear, extremely capable lightweight howitzers that consistently get into position faster than heavier out of date russian ones that are being produced not just repaired and maintained in Ukraine… is really sobering news.
It also sucks for russia that these are perfect for pulling behind a humvee and Ukraine has piles of humvees at this point…
Between this and the Bohdana Ukraine has quickly become one of the most powerful artillery powers on earth.

I own some shares of GB0002634946 . Has been a good investment so far. Bit wobbly green line, but seems to go up more than down.
