In the report of Greece for the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms (UNROCA) for 2025, you can find an interesting message about a bilateral agreement with the Czech Republic. As part of this agreement, Greece transferred to the Czech Republic 66 units of 203-mm M110A2 self-propelled howitzers, 68 units of M114 trailed 155-mm field howitzers, and 56 units of M101 105-mm towed howitzers.
Apparently, all of these artillery systems were supplied to the Czech Republic, specifically for their subsequent transfer as military aid to Ukraine, since the Czech Armed Forces do not operate any of these systems. This report was drawn to the attention of the @Jeff21461 profile on Twitter.

From Defense Express we also add that these artillery systems were probably sold to the Czech Republic, but not transferred for free. So, last year, there were reports of the Czech Republic selling Ukraine 60 M110A2 self-propelled howitzers, which were priced at $520,000 by Greece.
However, as it turned out, a larger number than expected was actually received, namely 66 self-propelled howitzers, out of a total of 145 units in service with Hellenic Armed Forces. It is possible that a larger number could have been received in previous years, since the report only refers to 2025. These M110A2 self-propelled howitzers, by the way, are already beating the russians on the battlefield.
It also turned out that significantly more 155-mm M114 towed howitzers were transferred than expected and previously reported. So, earlier there were reports that in the period from 2022 to 2024, 70 such towed howitzers were transferred to Ukraine from Greece.
The report also states that in 2025, another 68 units were transferred, which gives a total of 138 M114 howitzers, which according to various sources may be all or most of the towed howitzers of this type that have been in service with Greece in recent years.
Another interesting point in the report is the transfer of 58 towed 105-mm M101 howitzers, the transfer of which to Ukraine from Greece was not previously reported. It should be noted that the M101 howitzers are already in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine – they were received from Lithuania and Slovenia in 2022.
M101 howitzers are already a real rarity, since their production began during World War II in 1941. Due to its short firing range of 11.3 km, which means that it must be located directly in the so-called "kill zone" to operate, the Armed Forces of Ukraine currently uses them only at training ranges, the same applies to the rare 155-mm M114 howitzers.
Defense Express reported earlier on how M114A1 howitzers that Greece sent to Ukraine could help on battlefield.
