Ukraine already has the latest RCH-155s: Pistorius confirmed the transfer

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Ukraine is already receiving modern RCH-155 wheeled self-propelled artillery systems. Previously, only official information was reported about the training of the Ukrainian military to operate these systems.

This is reported by Bild.

During a visit to the KNDS factory in Kassel, Pistorius said that the first howitzer of this type was prepared for transfer to Ukraine about two years ago.

“It is here, where you are standing now, that the first wheeled howitzer was prepared and sent to Ukraine two years ago,” the minister said.

Until now, Germany has only officially confirmed the training of Ukrainian military personnel on the RCH-155, but the actual transfer of these artillery systems has not been publicly announced. It is also currently unknown whether the Ukrainian military is using them on the front.

It was previously reported that discussions are still ongoing between Ukraine and Germany regarding the transfer of Taurus missiles . At the same time, the need for them is no longer as acute as it was a few years ago.
