M109A3 self-propelled howitzers, provided as part of international technical assistance by Norway, are already at the forefront with high accuracy hitting targets and destroying the enemy.

This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny.

" Despite the fact that these self-propelled howitzers were manufactured back in the 1960s and 70s, they already have a steering wheel instead of levers, and an automatic gearbox instead of a mechanical one.. For winter time, when hull icing is possible, the developers slightly cut it so that the crew does not slip.

The soldiers rejoiced even at such simple elements as baskets for personal belongings welded along the edges of the tower,"

As for the technical characteristics, the M109A3 howitzers have a larger caliber and more powerful ammunition compared to their Soviet counterparts.. The firing range is up to 22 km. "

According to him, experienced gunners also note the convenience of charges, sealed and absolutely identical, which affects the accuracy of expansion when fired..
