Ukraine's armed forces already use CAESAR self-propelled artillery units based on Tatra 8x8 chassis
Ukraine has officially confirmed that it has received CAESAR self-propelled artillery units from Denmark.
Here's What We Know
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said this on social media. He also published a video of the delivery of the equipment.
As the russian occupier goes to sleep, he is unaware that the CAESARs have gone on a night hunt, which will be glorious. But he is terrified. And cowards die many times before their actual deaths.

By the way, the AFU is already using Danish CAESARs at the front. Photos and videos of the system's operation have appeared on the internet.

Flashback
The AFU received 19 units from Denmark. These SAUs differ from those previously transferred to Ukraine by France. The thing is that the Danish version of CAESAR has a heavier weight, improved armour and increased armour from 18 to 36 rounds. In addition, the unit is based on a Tatra 8x8 chassis.
