These howitzers were recently spotted with the Italian Iveco Astra SM 66.40 Prime Mover truck, although previously they were only seen with Estonian MAN Kat 1 6x6 trucks.

The FH70 towed howitzers destroy the occupiers at a distance of 24km with a conventional projectile, and with a rocket-assisted projectile it hits at a distance of about 30km.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine servicemen, who are already striking the invaders with this 155-mm howitzer, note first of all two advantages of this artillery system: accuracy, as well as the presence of an engine that allows it to move at a speed of up to 20km/h.

The FH-70 is a towed 155 mm howitzer developed by an international consortium, which included Vickers Ltd in the UK, OTO Melara in Italy, and Rheinmetall GmbH in West Germany. It was also manufactured in all three of these nations during its decade-long production run, and it was also produced in substantial quantity in Japan.
