The Kingdom of Denmark has sent all its CAESAR self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and published a corresponding video.
– Denmark transferred all its CAESAR self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine. A true friend who knows that our struggle is the struggle of Europe, – the Ministry of Defense emphasized.
It will be recalled that the CAESAR self-propelled artillery installation is a French 155-millimeter self-propelled gun with a firing range of 42 km.
On January 30, 2023, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that all 19 CAESAR self-propelled artillery units will go to Ukraine.
