Very handy pieces of Kit the Danes paid for… I’m sure you’ll get your monies worth.
I gather these are built in Ukraine, which is also great for their economy.
“The 2S22 Bohdana is a 155 mm NATO-standard caliber, wheeled self-propelled howitzer developed in Ukraine. Its prototype is mounted on the chassis of the Ukrainian six-wheel-drive KrAZ-6322 truck.[1][4] It has an armoured cabin and storage for 20 shells.[4][5] The howitzer has a minimum range of 780 meters, and a maximum range of 42 km, or 50 km with a rocket-assisted projectile. It is capable of firing M982 Excalibur shells and it can fire 5 rounds per minute.[6]”
I heard this howitzer has an issue with loading the ammo, as you have to lift the rounds quite high. But despite that, it’s still a solid piece of equipment, and having 18 self-propelled howitzers is a pretty significant number.
Shoot and Scoot is definitely the way to go in this war. Stick and move
And much more will be pouring in from Armenia! ❤️
Thank you Denmark. We in Australia salute you as Ukrainian allies 🇩🇰👍🇦🇺

How much do they cost a piece?
