Ukrainians Fire American M777 Howitzers At Russian Forces
Published 2 years ago
Unconfirmed footage reportedly shows Ukrainian artillerymen firing an American made and delivered 155mm M777 howitzer at Russian forces in eastern Ukraine's Donbass region.
While the gun team doesn't appear to be all that "fast," keep in mind that they have only just learned to use these system and this is not a live fire range. Over the past three months, Ukrainian artillery teams have demonstrated astonishing accuracy with their weapon systems, and it isn't because they strive for speed. Additionally, they are firing at targets often nestled into civilian infrastructure and residential areas, so it is imperative that they find their mark.
The US green lighted a military aid package that included 90 M777 howitzers to Ukraine, and by the end of April, over half of those were already delivered. It's likely that most, if not all, are currently being fielded by the Ukrainian military.
