Britain began transferring 155-mm AS-90 self-propelled howitzers destined for Ukraine to Poland

The UK has begun delivering the promised AS-90 self-propelled artillery mounts to Ukraine. Currently, howitzers are being transferred to Poland, from where they will be moved to the territory of Ukraine.

British 155-mm AS-90 self-propelled guns were seen in Poland, transported on roads by road. Most likely, howitzers are being delivered to Rzeszow, where the NATO logistics hub, created specifically for the transfer of military aid to Ukraine, is located. The number of deployed equipment is not called, but earlier the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom promised Zelensky to supply at least 30 (thirty) AS-90 self-propelled guns.



The fact that the UK will provide Ukraine with "additional support" was announced in London in mid-January this year. At the same time, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, called Zelensky and delighted him with new supplies, promising, in addition to tanks also supply a "big batch" of AS155 90mm self-propelled howitzers. Preliminary, at least 30 units.

In early February, the British Ministry of Defense announced the launch of a program to train crews of the AS-90 self-propelled guns, as well as the arrival of a group of Ukrainian military personnel in the UK. At the same time, it was confirmed that Ukraine would receive 30 self-propelled howitzers.

The AS90 is an armored self-propelled gun that the UK is donating to help Ukraine defend its homeland and retake territory.

- said in the British military department.

Meanwhile, as it became known, the British themselves intend to replace the obsolete AS-90 self-propelled guns sent to Ukraine with Swedish Archer wheeled howitzers.

    ... the British themselves intend to replace the obsolete AS-90 self-propelled guns sent to Ukraine with Swedish Archer wheeled howitzers.

    The NWO showed that for the West it is cheaper to transfer old and decommissioned equipment to Ukraine than to dispose of it.
    And leave it to Ukraine in case of breakage or damage, rather than restore it.

      In fact, this is very good equipment, and it cannot be called outdated. If a 20-year-old howitzer is outdated for you, then what do you call our 60-year-old tanks sent to the front? 30 pieces is a lot and a lot of blood will be shed on the front line.

        The T-55 is much better than the "rapier" or "BMP-1", widely used in the NWO.
        It is much better than the used tractor with a welded anti-aircraft gun from the Stalin era, or a nomadic mortar in the back of a KamAZ. At least in caliber and thickness.

        If you are talking about t55, then they are for spare parts for t62. And if it’s about the T62, then let them shoot in the direction of the enemy than they are in the warehouses! As a last resort, the harassing fire does its job.

      There is a plan, otherwise there would be serious progress at the front and in the rear, we still cannot catch it, which means that the enemy is in the dark, and this is good. The more pleasant the surprise will be. No wonder SI went to Moscow!!!

    Ours will have a problem with identification. The AS 90 turret is produced under license in Poland, installed on a South Korean chassis and you will get the Polish Crab self-propelled guns. Which burns well, I hope, together with the Polish crew. So Poles can sit in AS 90 in Ukraine.

    Maybe it's time to "calibrate" (destroy) the bridges across the Dnieper ....
    The Armed Forces of Ukraine will still go on a counterattack, but let their artillery be 30 barrels less ...

      Good idea, write to the Ministry of Defense, maybe they missed it in their plans. After all, they are professionals, they know their business, right?

        or maybe they were given the task of fighting nothing to destroy! As for me, such an order is simply stupid! I won't be surprised anymore!

    British 155mm AS-90 self-propelled guns spotted in Poland
    This Polish hub is like a splinter in an uncomfortable place - it causes big trouble and it is impossible to pull it out yet. And Europe in the Ukrainian conflict will significantly change its fleet of military equipment.

      A hub in Rzeszow is not allowed, but bridges across rivers in the territory of the in / on are possible.

      Lyaksandra Grygorich agreed to supply Russian tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus - they write about it.
      Apparently he senses that if anything, they will tear his country to pieces.

    Ve srovnání s životy Ukrajinských vojáků se jeví taková pomoc jako slabá až ubohá!! Ukrajina nechápe, že ta pomoc není zadarmo, ale takto si kupují celou Ukrajinu! A komikovi Zelimu je to jedno, ten uteče na západ za "svými" nakradenými miliardami! Jenže průšvih pro západ bude, jestli se na Ukrajině změní režim, který bude nakloněný přátelstvím k Rusku!!

      Compared to the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, such help seems weak to pathetic!! Ukraine does not understand that aid is not free, but this is how they buy the whole of Ukraine! But comedian Zely doesn't care, he runs west for "his" stolen billions! But it will be a problem for the West if the regime in Ukraine that is set up for friendship with Russia changes!!

        The regime will not change anywhere. Vladimir Putin himself stated that regime change in Ukraine is not the goal of the operation. Zelensky can ride on the front as he wants and nothing will happen to him. The drug addict has become a respected partner with whom the Russian government would like to negotiate. That's all about regime change.

    Damn that and on the side of the bow.
    Again they carry what they want, almost without hiding.
    The NATO hub in Poland operates 24/7, equipment and weapons cross the border in two, maximum three places.
    But no, let's wait until the NATO logistics services transfer it to the front.
    So it's "more fun".
    And on good terms, where are the Petrovnas and Basharov?
    Why Peskov's son does not show himself in London.
    They, the "Russians" in Londongrad, have no success in helping the NWO.
    Again, the son of Shapiro / Solovyov could at least pierce the wheels, trailers that carry howitzers to Ukroreich.

    And if you use all the relatives of the "Russian" oligarchs who have been milking our Motherland for decades.
