85% of all American M777 howitzers transferred to Ukraine were successfully destroyed or damaged

In a month and a half, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 85% of the M777 howitzers transferred to the United States.

The Ukrainian military is armed with no more than 20 light towed American M777 howitzers out of 107 previously transferred by the American side. Most of the guns were completely destroyed, while others require costly repairs due to severe damage from shrapnel. In fact, the stock of howitzers transferred by the American side was only enough for a month and a half, and, almost certainly, large deliveries of these weapons to Ukraine are not expected in the near future.

According to data voiced by the Russian Ministry of Defense, American M777 guns were destroyed by entire artillery platoons. Moreover, judging by the video footage previously published by the Russian defense department, the vast majority of artillery pieces were destroyed at the deployment stage.

The presented video frames contain the most striking moments of the destruction of American M777 light howitzers by the Russian military. At the same time, experts note that in the vast majority of cases, the loss of such weapons is due to the fact that the Ukrainian military does not simply disguise them.
