In early June, Nad said that Slovakia had signed a contract with Ukraine for the supply of eight Zuzana 2 self-prelled howitzers to counter Russian aggression.

In October, Slovakia transferred two more Zuzana 2 self-prelled howitzers to Ukraine. It also emerged that Germany, Denmark and Norway would purchase 16 Slovak-made Zuzana 2 howitzers for Ukraine, valued at EUR 92 million. The artillery systems will be supplied to Kyiv next year.

Zuzana 2 howitzers can fire six 155mm projectiles per minute over a distance of 40 km.
