Details: This is the first notification of the transfer of such self-propelled guns to the disposal of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
Only 9 months passed from the moment of ordering to the moment of receipt of DITA.
For reference:
Features of DITA systems: a high level of automation and the use of an “unmanned” tower, due to which the crew of this self-propelled gun consists of only two people.
The firing range is up to 39 kilometers, the firing rate is five shots per minute in constant mode, the DITA can leave the firing position in 45 seconds.
We will remind:
- In February 2024, the Netherlands announced the order of the first batch of nine DITA self-propelled guns for Ukraine, which are manufactured at the facilities of the Czech defense company Excalibur Army.
