The Ukrainian Armed Forces use M777A2 howitzers at the front, which can fire high-precision M982 Excalibur shells (video)
Military analyst @UAWeapons published a video of M777 howitzer in A2 modification in the hands of the AFU.
What we know
This version M777 boasts a fire control system and TAD-PIK module. Thanks to this, the Ukrainian military can use high-precision projectiles PGK M1156 and M982 Excalibur with M777, their deviation does not exceed 50 and 10 meters respectively. By the way, it is most likely that the U.S. recently gave us exactly these M982 Excalibur shells. We are talking about a set of 1,000 pieces.
The appearance of these howitzers coincides with recent US statements about the transfer to Ukraine of 1,000 greater precision projectiles" for 155mm artillery, which we believe will highly likely be the M982 Excalibur. pic.twitter.com/3sDSLNCXOL

Western partners gave us M777. It is the American 155 mm towed howitzer, which has a range up to 30 km (depends on the shells). It is used by ground forces of the United States, Australia, Canada, India, Saudi Arabia, and now Ukraine.
