Ottawa moved to Kyiv the ninth of its stocks of 155-mm M777 field towed howitzers.
The Canadian authorities, in fulfillment of a promise to transfer heavy artillery to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, sent 155-mm M777 towed howitzers and their ammunition to Ukraine. On Friday, April 22, the Canadian Press wrote.
The size of the delivered batch of weapons was not reported.
At the same time, the British Air Force informed that Ottawa had provided Kyiv with four such howitzers. According to the publication, the Canadian army has only 37 M777 howitzers.
The M777 is a British 155mm caliber towed field howitzer. Made by BAE Systems. Its weight is 4218 kg and it is considered the lightest howitzer of its kind. The device can fire Excalibur guided projectiles, its effective range reaches 40 kilometers, and the circular possible deviation from the target is 5 meters.
Recall that on April 19, the leaders of Canada and Britain announced that they would provide Ukraine with heavy artillery to “not allow Putin to gain strength in the east of the country.”
A similar decision was made in the US and the Netherlands.
