UKRAINIAN troops get to grips with British-Made Howitzers as forces fire towards Russian targets.
Footage obtained from the Operational Command West (OC West) - a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces in western Ukraine with headquarters in Rivne - earlier today (Friday, 27th May).
OC West said (in English): "FH70 is already destroying the enemy.
"Our soldiers quickly master the latest weapons provided by partner countries, because they understand that artillerist and the gun in battle become one - a powerful and ferocious beast, ready to destroy the enemy who has come to their native land."
The FH70 is a towed howitzer built by the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. It entered service in 1978 and boasts an effective firing range of 15 to 18 miles.
It is not known how many FH70s the Armed Forces of Ukraine currently have at their disposal, but it is known the pieces they possess were supplied by Italy.
