As of May 17, 2022, Ukraine received 74 M777 light towed 155mm howitzers from the United States. More than 100,000 munitions were also delivered with the guns, including M982 Excalibur precision-guided artillery shells. A few days later, there were media reports that these weapons were already being used at the front against the advancing Russian troops. To the average viewer, such military assistance may seem insignificant, since a towed gun doesn’t really look as convincing as a tank, plane, or helicopter. From our video today, you’ll learn all about why the M777 howitzers are good, and how they can really affect the situation at the front.
