Except for heavy equipment will deliver Sweden also supplies the necessary artillery ammunition to Ukraine.
Stockholm will send eight of the Archer systems that Ukraine has been waiting for for several months to Kyiv. Another 14 will be sold to the United Kingdom, which will provide Ukraine with 32 older AS90 self-propelled howitzers.
Archer systems are fully automated howitzers on an all-terrain vehicle that the crew can operate without leaving the armored cabin. Archer is among the most advanced artillery systems in the world, capable of firing projectiles at a distance of up to 50 kilometers.
In addition to them, Sweden also donates Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. Kyiv should receive up to ten of them.
Ukraine will also receive an unspecified number of anti-aircraft missile systems Robotsystem 97 (RBS 97), which is an improved version of the American MIM-23 Hawk system by Raytheon.
