The Ukrainian army for the first time showed how it uses Polish AHS Krab self-propelled howitzers with Excalibur high-precision shells - the newest Russian SAU destroyed
Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty's Twitter page has posted a rare, or to be more precise, the first video of the use of Excalibur shells by Polish AHS Krab howitzer operators.
Here's What We Know
The Ukrainian Armed Forces often share videos showing the M777 artillery unit destroying Russian equipment with high-precision M982 Excalibur shells. But the other day we were shown for the first time how the Polish AHS Krab self-propelled howitzer uses a shell developed by BAE Systems and Raytheon.
Pushing the limits of a Polish-made Krab self-propelled gun, a Ukrainian artillery team says it hits key Russian targets and separates enemy infantry from better-armed comrades to make them vulnerable to ground attacks.

The video was taken in the Luhansk region during an artillery bombardment of Russian positions using cannons coming from Poland. At least two (out of four) M982 Excalibur hit targets, which were Russian 2S19 "Msta-S" self-propelled howitzers.
At the end of the video, the record holder among the Polish AHS Krab in Ukraine was shown. The howitzer shown in the video fired 3,500 rounds, although it is designed for 1,500 rounds.
