Ukraine Now Producing 10 Self-Propelled Howitzers Monthly Zelensky Claims
120+ of these annually is not insignificant
Ukraine started work to produce 155mm self-propelled artillery in spring of 2022, and produced the first units in January 2023.
In December 2023 the production stood at 6 units per month, now it’s up to 10 Zelensky has announced, and promises production rate will continue to climb.
So far the Ukrainian army has accepted about 40 to 50 of these. In a year we could be talking about annual production of 200 units.
Ukraine is also considering building cheaper towed heavy artillery.
Interesting! I wonder how much the attacks on the Ukrainian power grid will affect production like this, as opposed to just making civilian life more miserable.
