A photo appeared on the network showing the ambassador of the Kiev regime to Germany, captured at the KMW defense concern plant in Kassel against the background of a 155-mm Boxer RCH155 self-propelled gun and a Leopard 1A5 tank undergoing repair.

As indicated in the Western press, this photo is a confirmation that Germany is manufacturing RCH155 for the needs of the APU. The start of deliveries of the first self-propelled guns should be expected in the first quarter of 2024, additional orders will be announced in the near future.

This modern product will provide a significant increase in the potential of the APU by joining the company of old self-propelled howitzers, such as CAESAR and PZH2000

- it is said in the press.

The RCH155 is a compact but powerful system with a length of 10.4 m, a width of 2.99 m and a height of 3.6 m. It is equipped with a 155 mm L52 howitzer. The control system assumes the placement of a combat post outside the ACS. The fire zone is 40 km when firing standard ammunition [with a gas generator] and 54 km when using V–LAP APC; VULCANO and EXCALIBUR provide longer distances.

The MTU engine with a capacity of up to 600 kW (815 hp) acts as a power plant. The howitzer can reach speeds of more than 100 km / h on roads, the power reserve is over 700 km. The power-to-weight ratio is approximately 21 hp per ton, which can significantly facilitate movement over difficult terrain.

The RCH155 is designed to be operated by only two crew members, a commander and a driver

- it is noted in the press.
