According to the German government said this in a statement. "The planned military aid for Ukraine includes 255 155mm Vulcano projectiles," a report on the government's website says.
As to the manufacturer, Vulcano artillery shells can strike targets as far as 50 or 70 kilometers away, deepening on modification, with 5-meter accuracy. Final target approach can be done at a 90-degree angle, reducing interception risk.

This type of projectile is compatible with any NATO artillery with a caliber of 155 mm. The charge mass is less than that of the classic 155 mm projectile, but characterized by a higher speed. In the GLR version it also has a programmable fuse, which increases the efficiency of fire.
In the case of the Vulcano GLR, Ukraine will receive another type of precision artillery ammunition after the German SMArt anti-tank, the Swedish-French BONUS anti-tank (there is currently no final confirmation of their use) and the American high-precision Excalibur ammunition, which uses an INS/GPS system similar to the Vulcano GLR.
The recent update to the list of German military aid includs:
20 rocket launchers 70mm on pick-up trucks with 2,000 rockets and laser target designators;
1,592 projectiles 155mm;
255 Vulcano projectiles 155mm;
60.200 rounds ammunition 40mm;
40 frequency range extensions for anti-drone devices;
12 armored recovery vehicles and 30 MG3 machine guns for them.
Furthermore, Berlin has provided three additional Gepard mobile anti-air defense systems (15 total), 11 Danish M113 armored personnel carriers (44 totals), and 1,000 MREs (403,000 total).
