Battlefield role

Ukraine's domestically produced NATO-calibre howitzer — the symbol of its wartime artillery industry.

Strengths

Domestic production at scale insulates Ukraine from foreign artillery supply politics; NATO-standard 155 mm ammunition compatibility; wheeled mobility.

Limitations

Truck chassis offers minimal crew protection compared to armoured SPGs; production quality and rate figures are only partly public.

Visual identification

Armoured truck cab (6×6 or 8×8 depending on batch) with a long 155 mm barrel on an open rear mounting; large recoil spade at the rear.

Documented conflict use

In documented service since 2022 (first prominent in the Snake Island bombardment); publicly reported as Ukraine's most-produced artillery system by 2024–25.
