Slovakia has transferred another Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzer to Ukraine, Jaroslav Naď, Slovakian Defense Minister, announced on his Twitter on Nov. 18.
According to him, this is already the seventh howitzer handed over to the Ukrainian army.
“Already the 7th Zuzana 2 howitzer was delivered to Ukrainian Armed Forces and is ready to protect innocent lives,” Nad’ wrote.
Ukraine and Slovakia in June signed a contract for the supply of eight 155 mm self-propelled guns.
On Oct. 2, Germany, Norway and Denmark agreed to purchase an additional 16 Slovak Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzers for Ukraine. Deliveries will begin next year.
The Zuzana 2 is an 8x8 self-propelled gun (caliber 155 mm) based on the previous version of Zuzana, but with a longer barrel and a longer firing range (42 kilometers).
