Slovakia has delivered one more Zuzana 2 self-propelled artillery system to Ukraine.

Slovak Defense Minister Yaroslav Nad said this on Twitter on November 18, Ukrinform reports.

“Glad to confirm that already the 7th Zuzana 2 Howitzer was delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces & is ready to protect innocent lives,” he wrote.

In early June, Nad said that Slovakia had signed a contract with Ukraine for the supply of eight Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzers to counter Russian aggression.

In October, Slovakia transferred two more Zuzana 2 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine. It also emerged that Germany, Denmark and Norway would purchase 16 Slovak-made Zuzana 2 howitzers for Ukraine, valued at EUR 92 million. The artillery systems will be supplied to Kyiv next year.

Zuzana 2 howitzers can fire six 155mm projectiles per minute over a distance of 40 km.
