"Minus self-propelled guns of the enemy. The Archer hits the target accurately! The 45th Separate Artillery Brigade. Eastern direction," commented the video in the brigade, hinting that the enemy vehicle was destroyed by the team of the Swedish Archer 155-mm self-propelled artillery system.
We will remind that the transfer of the Swedish 155-mm self-propelled howitzer systems to Ukraine was officially approved in March 2023, while negotiations on the transfer of these vehicles at the official public level had been continued since August 2022.
At the same time, in the fall of 2023, on the occasion of the Day of Missile Forces and Artillery of Ukraine, the Ground Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine publicly demonstrated this self-propelled howitzer in a video for the first time. Swedish MoD officially confirmed the transfer of eight Archer self-propelled artillery systems to Ukraine in November 2023.
The Archer self-propelled howitzer is actually a "sniper system" that has a high rate of fire and allows artillerymen to harass important enemy targets at a range of 50-60 km.
As Defense Express reported, Ukrainian artillerymen shared details of Archer self-propelled howitzer system's combat operations in Donetsk region.
