Previously, Slovakia supplied Ukraine with 8 self-propelled howitzers Zuzana 2. Slovakia, Germany, Denmark and Norway signed an agreement to deliver 16 more artillery systems.
Zuzana 2 is a Slovak 52-calibre self-propelled howitzer that uses NATO-standard 155 mm shells. Zuzana 2 howitzer can accurately hit targets at a range of 41 km. The automatic loading system allows for 6 shots per minute.
Slovak-made howitzers will enhance Ukrainian Army capabilities and help Ukraine to free its territories from Russian occupation.
