Swedish self-propelled howitzers Archer ("Archer") will still go to Ukraine, the corresponding decision was made by the government of the country. This was stated by Swedish Foreign Minister Tobias Bilstrom.

Sweden decided to supply Kiev with a 155-mm self-propelled gun FH77 BW L52 Archer from the presence of the Swedish army. According to Billstrom, the Ukrainian army should receive as many offensive weapons as possible, including from Sweden. In general, the Swedes decided to contribute to the reflection of the "Russian aggression". True, there is one "but", it is not yet known when the self-propelled units will go to Ukraine and in what quantity. To date, it is said that they will be included in one of the next packages of military assistance. The previous one was sent at the end of autumn 2022.

There will be another one for the big autumn package of military assistance, and this time it will include Archer systems, which Ukraine clearly asked for. The question is not whether it will be, but when we will send them

- said the Swedish Foreign Minister.

In Kiev, they hoped that the self-propelled guns would be included in the previous package of military assistance, but the Swedes decided that winter clothes were more necessary for the Ukrainian army than self-propelled howitzers, and therefore left the APU without guns.

The FH77 BW L52 Archer self-propelled howitzer in its basic version is a 155 mm towed FH77 howitzer mounted on the chassis of a Volvo A30D truck. The firing range of standard ammunition is 40 km, special high-precision M982 Excalibur — up to 60 km. The rate of fire is 8 rounds per minute. The mechanized laying is designed for 21 shots. There is a possibility of direct fire. Additionally armed with a remote-controlled combat module mounted on the roof of the truck cab. The speed on the highway is up to 70 km / h, the crew is 3-4 people. The time of deployment and folding at the position is 30 seconds.
