The other day Emmanuel Macron confirmed that France will transfer a new batch of CAESAR self-propelled artillery units to Ukraine. Now dates of delivery of the CAESARs have appeared on the net.

When to expect

According to Ukrainian Ambassador to France Vadim Omelchenko, a new package of military assistance from the French will arrive in Ukraine in the next few weeks.

Recall that the CAESAR is a French 155 mm SAU designed to destroy manpower, artillery batteries, bunkers, as well as to provide passages in minefields and field barriers. Maximum firing range of the SAU is 42 km, although a projectile with a range of up to 70 km has recently been presented for installation. The CAESAR SAU is capable of firing six rounds per minute. It is operated by a crew of 4-5 people. Now there are 18 such units in Ukraine.

By the way, except for the CAESAR SAU, Ukraine should also receive French VAB armored vehicles.
