Ugh, can we stop with the BS please? It takes years for any European entity to ramp up production of anything at all. By the time anything rolls out of there, this war will likely be over.
And, BTW, the era of towed Howitzers like the M777 has come to an end. These guns had their day in late ’22 and then the Lancets came and started mauling them, together with several crews.
The future of artillery belongs to unmanned self propelled platforms like the RCH155.
There producing barrels.
Towed is not the way to go. Most Ukr artillery losses are from counter battery fire. They need something on wheels that can quickly relocate.
Excellent! More western companies need to do this!
Not only to produce weapons for Ukraine but to produce weapons for all of the west! Ukraine can become one of the main weapons manufacturers for the west.
