The Polish Armed Plant Huta Stalowa Wola has prepared the first eight Crab howitzers for transfer to Ukraine. The retraining of military personnel is also being completed.
We are talking about the last formalities, after which the self-propelled guns are transported to Ukraine.
Also in Poland, the retraining of Ukrainian army servicemen who will lead cannon howitzers is being completed.
Eight "Crabs" for the Ukrainian army will be transferred as part of the implementation of the intergovernmental agreement that Poland and Ukraine signed in Kyiv in early June.
The contract worth more than 3 billion zlotys provides for the production of about 60 howitzers and additional vehicles for Ukrainian artillery by the plant.
The first 18 howitzers were delivered from Poland to Ukraine - as part of military support - in May. This technique was transferred from the means of the Polish army.
SAU AHS Krab (SAU "Krab") is a modern self-propelled howitzer, which is placed on a tracked chassis and has a turret layout.
