Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, the whole world has once again realized that large-caliber artillery still occupies a central position in modern large-scale conflicts, yet the US Army, which previously relied on air support for a long time and ignored artillery construction, seemed extremely embarrassed. Under actual pressure, the US Army has accelerated the pace of introducing new types of artillery, but according to a report in the US “Defense News” on the 12th, the first new type of self-propelled howitzer obtained by the US after a lapse of 20 years was made in South Korea. According to the report, Brigadier General Robert Mickesh, the US Army's project management executive responsible for offensive firepower, revealed that the mobile tactical artillery manufactured by Hanwha Defense America was exhibited at the first “Army Modernization Day” event held on Capitol Hill earlier this month. “We are very excited to have it and prepare to test it, and at the same time get feedback from soldiers that we think is very important.”
