Military analysts @UAWeapons published a video of a rare Estonian D-30A howitzer in the hands of the AFU.

What we know

The D-30A is a modification of the Soviet 122mm D-30 howitzer, which was developed in the 50s. The last production of the D-30A was in 2013. Depending on the projectile, the howitzer can fire up to 21.9 km. Combat rate of fire is 5-6 rounds per minute.

According to @UAWeapons, D-30A howitzers were transferred to Ukraine by Estonia as military aid. We have had them since March. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have 9 of them in total.

We shall remind you that Estonia is currently preparing a new package of military assistance. It will include weapons, a field hospital and training of soldiers.
