90% of the American howitzers planned as aid to Ukraine have already been handed over to the Ukrainian military.
“I can tell you that more than 90% of the 90 howitzers that were planted in Ukraine in the last two presidential decrees are actually in Ukrainian hands,” the official said.
According to the source, almost 90,000 of the 144,000 planned shells for reloading guns are now also in Ukraine.
At the same time, the official said that the United States does not track where all the artillery goes after the transfer of equipment to the Ukrainians.
“Again, where they go and how they are used depends on the Ukrainians. We do not see every howitzer from a bird’s eye view and cannot tell you where it is in combat,” the source said.
Previously Focus said that Ford car company handed over dozens of powerful pickup trucks to Ukraine for a total of $2 million. Ford Ranger pickups have already arrived in our country. Most likely, they will deliver humanitarian aid. The Ford Ranger is a mid-size pickup truck with a carrying capacity of just over a ton.
In the end of April in the USA they showed how shells for M777 howitzers for Ukraine are loaded. According to journalists, the United States will send at least 90 M777 howitzers and 184,000 ammunition to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The package will be delivered by C-17 Globemaster III aircraft from California. The M777 is a light howitzer with a rate of fire of 2-5 rounds per minute. The firing range can reach up to 24 km, depending on the type of projectile.
