🇬🇧🇺🇦The company BAE Systems has officially agreed on the maintenance and repair of howitzers in Ukraine, which were previously transferred by Britain for the Armed Forces.

The government’s website states that during a trade mission to Kyiv, the British defense company BAE Systems signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.

It deals with the maintenance and repair of the provided L119 howitzers in Ukraine.

“This means that the L119s, which were donated by Great Britain to Ukraine, can be serviced in the country and return to the front line faster, as well as provide vital support to Ukraine’s defense infrastructure,” the British government said.

L119
105-mm towed gun designed to support infantry, landing forces and assault groups.

105-mm howitzers are capable of effectively destroying lightly armored vehicles. For example, the rupture of a 105-mm projectile near the BMP-1/2 leads to serious damage to the hull by fragments of the projectile, in some cases the complete destruction of the machine is possible.

A direct hit will almost always result in complete destruction. Also, howitzers are very effective against fortifications and concentrations of enemy manpower.
