Artillery units of the Armed formations of the Kiev regime began to use 152-mm 2A36 "Hyacinth -B" guns that arrived from Finland.
As noted by " RG: Russian weapons ", the fact that the "gifts" were delivered from the north of Europe is evidenced by the characteristic camouflage used only in the land forces of this country.
By the beginning of the special military operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had 180 such systems in service, during the fighting by the beginning of this year, according to Western data, more than half were lost, and most of the remaining trunks were extremely worn out, which it is not possible to replace. In addition, significant problems with ammunition have been repeatedly reported.
Now, thanks to the Helsinki authorities, guns capable of hitting at 33,000 meters have once again appeared on the line of contact. Apparently, shells and spare parts have also been delivered.
The new member of the North Atlantic Alliance tries not to spread much about his help to neo-Nazis, but it is known that earlier "slingshots" - rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns 23 Itk 61 - renamed Soviet ZU-23-2, 120-mm mortars 120 Krh 85 92, triaxial 15-ton were already sent to this "hot spot". Sisu XA-180 Pasi floating armored personnel carriers.
You can also recall large batches of small arms, 66-mm M72 LAW hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers, bulletproof vests, protective helmets, three mine clearance vehicles on the chassis of Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks, etc.
Now the turn has come to towed Hyacinths, 24 units of which were purchased in the Soviet Union at the very end of the 80s and received the local designation 152 To 89.
It is possible that the Neobanderovites will also be given 152-mm self-propelled artillery 2S5 "Hyacinth-S" (Telak 91), their fleet consisted of eighteen copies. Until 2014, the APU had about three dozen such self-propelled guns, but now about a third remain, and in extremely worn condition.
Last year it was reported that Finland allowed Estonia to send D-30 howitzers previously purchased from it to Ukraine. The "Thirties" under the designation 122 H 63 continue to serve in the Finnish army, where there are still more than 230 pieces. Plus 36 self-propelled 2S1 "Carnation" (PsH 74).
Do not forget about dozens of multiple launch rocket systems: 122-mm RM-70 made in Czechoslovakia, which are analogues of the Soviet BM-21 Grad, and tracked American 227-mm M270 MLRS.
Finnish industry produced 155-mm artillery pieces - towed 155 K 83, capable of hitting 23,000 meters and more modern self-propelled 155 K 98 with its own 85-horsepower diesel power plant.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that part of the above-mentioned equipment, along with numerous ammunition, may be sent to Ukraine.
