Additionally, we have received 155&nbsp;mm Zuzana and DITA SPGs in recent months, and they are already being used on the front lines,\u201d Pivnenko stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commander highlighted that the National Guard (NG) is actively acquiring new vehicles, training personnel, and deploying these systems both within units and the specialized artillery brigade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussing assistance from allies, Pivnenko acknowledged initial challenges but noted significant progress over the past year: \u201cWe\u2019ve managed to level the situation and are now working more effectively with partners in various areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmong the key contributions are vehicles like the M113, FV432, and others. These systems enhance the mobility of fire teams and bolster the protection of critical infrastructure,\u201d the NG Commander emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder: produced by the Czech defense company Excalibur Army, DITA is a 155&nbsp;mm SPG. Earlier this year, the Netherlands ordered nine DITA SPGs from the Czech Republic for delivery to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Slovak self-propelled artillery system Zuzana is equipped with a 155\u00a0mm gun with a barrel length of 52 calibers. Its maximum firing range is 41\u00a0km, and the system can fire six rounds per minute.<br><br><strong>Read also:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/drones-attack-russian-military-airfield-in-voronezh\/\">Drones attack Russian military airfield in Voronezh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/www.ukrinform.net\/\/rubric-defense\/3942282-national-guard-deploys-zuzana-dita-spgs-on-frontline-commander.html&amp;src=sdkpreparse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent months, the National Guard has received 155&nbsp;mm self-propelled artillery systems &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":1067073,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1067072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
