More Krab howitzers ready to be handed over to Ukraine – media

The first eight AHS Krab self-prelled howitzers produced by Pand under a defense contract with Ukraine are ready to be handed over to the recipient.

That's according to Pskie Radio 24, Ukrinform reports.

The equipment is waiting for the last formalities to be completed and will be transported to Ukraine, the report said.

Currently, the further training of sdiers from the Ukrainian army, who will erate the howitzers, is ending in Pand.

The report recalls that the eight Krabs for the Ukrainian army will not be donated as part of the support provided by the Pish government to Ukraine. This is happening as part of the implementation of the intergovernmental agreement that Pand and Ukraine concluded in Kyiv in early June. The contract is worth over PLN 3 billion and provides for the production by Huta Stalowa Wa for the Ukrainian army of about 60 Krabs and additional vehicles.

The first 18 Krab howitzers were delivered from Pand to Ukraine – as part of military support – in May.

In early June, Pand signed a defense contract with Ukraine worth PLN 2.7 billion (about $650 million) for the sale of Krab self-prelled howitzers to Ukraine.

Pand earlier donated about $1.7 billion worth of military equipment to Ukraine. These include, in particular, 240 upgraded T-72 tanks, Piorun MANPADS, Krab self-prelled howitzers, as well as grenade launchers, artillery shells, etc.
