Germany Handed Ukraine Artillery Shells and Ammunition for Mars II

Thursday, 16 March 2023

Germany has handed over another package of military assistance to Ukraine, which includes artillery 155 mm shells and rockets for MARS II multiple-launch fire systems.

As the German government reports, the Ukrainian army has received 5,000 artillery 155 mm shells and 155 mm high-precision ammunition.

Also provided are ammunition for the MARS II rocket launcher systems, two autoloaders, four mobile antenna-mast systems and 500 SFP9 pistols.

The list includes two hangar awnings and 25 generators.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz expects from the EU summit next week further steps regarding the supply of ammunition to Ukraine for the war against Russia (Ukr).

Ukraine's partners are trying to solve the problem of ammunition shortage (Ukr) for Ukraine. It is expected that on March 20, EU foreign ministers will approve proposals to speed up military support to Ukraine.

EU defence ministers agreed to speed up the supply of artillery shells and buy more ammunition to help Ukraine in Stockholm on March 8, but have yet to decide how to implement these plans.
