The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak added:

"The Zuzana 2 SAU has made it to Ukraine. 155-mm caliber to clean the territory of Ukraine from the unclean with the tricolor"

Let's remind you, the Zuzana 2 is an updated version of the Zuzana caliber 155mm. It is probably the most advanced SAU in the world today: it is equipped with an onboard computer, which quickly points to the target, works with digital maps, calculates the weather conditions and communicates with other SAUs. In one minute the howitzer makes 6 shots, the maximum firing range is 40 km, the turret rotates 360 degrees. In doing so, the gun fires several shells with different trajectories, but they eventually hit the target at the same time.

The howitzer is a major weapon of its kind.
