France has finally decided on the number of 155-mm Caesar self-propelled artillery, who will go to Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron.
In early October, Macron promised Zelensky to hand over a batch of Caesar 155-mm self-propelled guns intended for the Danish army., which should have been entered by 6 to 12 howitzers from 15, destined for Denmark. The whole game nor the Danes, neither the French agreed to transfer. In Kyiv, they have already discussed, where to send 12 French howitzers, but it was not there, Ukraine will receive only half of the promised amount, ie. 6 howitzer. Delivery dates not yet determined.
We are currently working with Denmark to supply Ukraine with an additional six CAESAR artillery mounts., so she can resist- Macron said in an interview with the French TV channel France2.
In addition to self-propelled guns, France will also supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with radars, anti-aircraft systems and missiles for them.
Previously, the French have already delivered to Ukraine 18 SAU Caesar from the presence of the French army, after which they flatly refused to give up army howitzers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The variant with howitzers for Denmark turned up in time, now Zelensky is satisfied and Macron has fulfilled all obligations.
The Danish version of the Caesar SPG is different from the French. The self-propelled guns destined for Denmark are placed on the Tatra T815 chassis with an 8x8 wheel arrangement and are equipped with an automated gun loading system, whereby the calculation is reduced to 3 people. The howitzer has an armored cab and increased to 36 shells transportable ammunition. The mass of the complex increased to 32 tonnes.
