Canada has delivered M777 howitzers and ammunition to the Ukrainian military, fulfilling the prime minister’s promise to send heavy artillery to the embattled country.
In a news release Friday, the federal government says it’s also provided a “significant number” of Carl Gustaf anti-armour ammunition to Ukraine, which asked allies for more ammunition and heavy artillery last week.
The Department of National Defence says the M777 155-millimetre towed howitzer is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 30 kilometres.
