AFU receives Italian OTO Melara M109L anti-tank gun with a range of up to 40km

Partners continue to help Ukraine fight Russian occupiers by handing over new weapons to the AFU.

Here's What We Know

This time the Ukrainian Armed Forces received Italian OTO Melara M109L howitzers. Photos of the SAU were published on Twitter. There is no information on how many of these self-propelled howitzers are in service. Presumably, we are talking about 30-40 units.

First images of OTO Melara M109L 155mm self-propelled guns delivered from Italy to Ukraine appeared today.

Despite Italian government keeping aid to Ukraine under secrecy, reportedly around 20-30 M109L were to be delivered to Ukrainian military.
