Eight Polish AHS Krab self-propelled howitzers are ready to be handed over to Ukraine, according to Polish media reports.
Polskie Radio24 shared the statement.
It is noted that the equipment is waiting for the final formalities to be completed and will be transported to Ukraine.
Currently, the next training for the soldiers of the Ukrainian army, who will operate howitzers, is being completed in Poland.

Such an agreement was signed between Ukraine and Poland in Kyiv at the beginning of June.
It should be added that the 155 mm Krab self-propelled gun weighs about 48 tons and can hit targets at a distance of 40 kilometers, firing up to 6 missiles per minute.The tracked chassis is manufactured under a Korean license, and the gun is a modification of British weapons.
