This noon, the United States Embassy in kyiv has released a series of photos of the M-777 howitzers delivered by that country to Ukraine and that the Ukrainian Army has already put into action. These modern artillery systems are part of aid approved by the US a month ago, which included 18 155mm howitzers and 40,000 artillery shells, as well as 10 AN/TPQ-36 radars, used for counter-battery fire.

The normal range of this artillery system is 24 km, but with Excalibur homing shells the range is increased to 44 km. Members of the Ukrainian Army have been trained in the handling of these modern howitzers in Germany, by the US military of the Florida National Guard. Here we can see a video released in the last hours that shows Ukrainian soldiers firing an M-777:
