This is already a lot of formidable firepower.  So why use the TOCHKA? What are the benefits of using the TOCHKA?

Poland delivered 18 KRAB self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine

We are talking about equipping three divisions




WARSAW, 29 May. /TASS/. The Ukrainian army received 18 modern KRAB self-propelled howitzers from Poland. This was reported on Sunday by Polish Radio, citing a source in the government. We are talking about equipping three divisions. The Polish army also trained a hundred Ukrainian artillerymen to serve howitzers. As Polish Radio emphasizes, thanks to the help of Warsaw, the Ukrainians now have at least 24 self-propelled guns.

KRAB have been in service with the Polish army for the past few years. The caterpillar chassis is produced under a Korean license, and the 155 mm gun is a modification of British weapons. The maximum firing range is 40 km with basic ammunition. Within a minute, KRAB can fire six shots.

Poland is the second largest supplier of weapons to Ukraine after the United States. Earlier, the republic transferred to the Ukrainian side about 250 Soviet T-72 tanks, 2S1 Go dzik self-propelled howitzers, as well as Piorun MANPADS systems, Grad launchers, air-to-air missiles for MiG-29 and Su-27 aircraft, Polish-made drones and a large number of ammunition.

“It is amazing how the leaders of France and Germany are inadvertently paving the way for new acts of violence from Russia," said an Estonian official.

Internal divisions within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are becoming increasingly evident, despite the military alliance's statement that it is "more united than ever" against the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. 

On one side, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron called Russian President Vladimir Putin in an attempt to find a solution to grain blocked in Ukrainian ports. 

The phone call came two days after Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi also discussed the issue with Putin in an attempt to ease a global food crisis.

However, the diplomatic approach is rejected in the Baltic countries, which have taken a radically anti-Russian stance since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine.

"It is amazing how the leaders of France and Germany are inadvertently paving the way for new acts of violence from Russia... How is it possible that neither Paris nor Berlin have learned from history? Why is it assumed that Putin, currently waging war against a great European People, intends to fulfill any promise?"asked Marko Mihkelson, head of the Estonian parliament's Foreign Relations Committee, according to the Financial Times.

The first photo is of a destroyed BMP-3. Maybe it was a captured vehicle.

BTW why has there been no advance from belogorovka to cut off severodonetsk if the russian bridgehead there was successful and they took few losses?
