The United States has already transferred to Ukraine most of the batch of 155-mm M777 howitzers, as well as shells for them.



This is stated in the message of the Pentagon.

This gun is capable of firing at a distance of up to 27 km with conventional shells, and up to 40 km with special ones; rate of fire - 2 rounds per minute (standard) and 5 rounds per minute (intensive). The main feature is the ability to fire specialized long-range Excalibur projectiles and satellite guidance.

In total, Washington planned to transfer 90 such systems to Kyiv.

A US Department of Defense official quoted by the department's press service recalled that since the Ukrainians did not have such howitzers in their arsenal, the United States is now teaching us how to use these systems. We are talking about studying outside of Ukraine, where, for obvious reasons, is not specified.

The Pentagon also says that in the next 24 hours, the United States will transfer more howitzers and shells to Ukraine, as well as Phoenix Ghost tactical drones, to Ukraine.

The United States is also transferring M113 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine , the Pentagon recently released a video with them.
