The [government announcement](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-and-germany-sign-52m-contract-for-cutting-edge-artillery). The fact that no numbers are mentioned makes me wonder if this is more a framework agreement with Germany for RCH155 procurement and operations rather than an actual purchase…but at least there’s bloody movement finally.
I detest that in 2025 that we are spend SO much money on weapons. It’s like we’ve just come out of the stone age. How utterly pathetic than mankind still wages war on itself. Every one of these is a Hospital, a school etc.
Don’t get me wrong – we HAVE to do it or we would be left defenseless if someone like Putin were to attack us or our friends. And we have to do even more as a few of these guns is not going to change the outcome of a war. But no one should celebrate this.
I hope the UK buys them in large numbers (though it seems like that will be the case), the RCH-155 is just such a capable artillery system and as Ukraine is showing, artillery is more important than ever.
People sometimes forget it from all the excitement about drones, but artillery is the reason why drones (esp. smaller ones) are so effective currently. Artillery together with drone recon just allows you to destroy any enemy force concentration with impunity (if you got aerial cover), which is why everyone at the front in Ukraine is dispersing (where the drones come in as they can more easily target single soldiers/small groups).
I wonder if this might also be a prelude to them buying the Puma infantry fighting vehicle.
The AJAX hasn’t been officially canceled yet but the UK is probably on the look out for a replacement.
The Puma and CV90 are arguably the best options on the table.
>However, it represents an early-stage capability demonstrator rather than a confirmed production order, and the government has yet to outline firm numbers or timelines for full programme rollout.
Always read the fine print. This is a load of nothing.
is that a joke?
even Estonia bought the korean K9 for over 100+ million €, we got 36 I think
