M119105 mm lightweight towed howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: Rock Island Arsenal Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center / Royal Ordnance / United States / United KingdomThe M119 is the U.S. 105 mm lightweight towed howitzer derived from the British L119 light gun and built around air-mobile infantry fire support. The M119A3 variant adds digital fire control, self-location, and communications upgrades while retaining a light carriage that can be moved by trucks, cargo aircraft, or helicopter. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukrainian forces received 105 mm howitzers and were documented training on American M119A3 guns to add a mobile, NATO-standard light artillery option alongside heavier 155 mm systems.Tag archive

M101 105 mm Howitzer105 mm towed field howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: Rock Island Arsenal / United StatesThe M101 is a U.S.-origin 105 mm towed field howitzer whose low weight, standard 105 mm ammunition, and simple split-trail carriage kept it useful long after World War II. In Ukraine, Lithuanian-donated M101A1 guns provide shorter-range tube artillery for infantry fire support where mobility, available ammunition, and survivable dispersed gun positions matter more than modern 155 mm range.
L118 Light Gun105 mm towed light howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: BAE Systems / United KingdomThe L118 Light Gun is a British 105 mm towed artillery system built for mobile field artillery, airborne movement, and rapid emplacement. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine's directly sourced combat context is tied to the L119 variant of the same light-gun family, supplied by the United Kingdom and supported by allied training and maintenance.
D-20152 mm towed gun-howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: No. 9 Uralmash Plant / Soviet UnionThe D-20 is a Soviet 152 mm towed gun-howitzer developed in the early Cold War for divisional and army-level fire support. Its split-trail carriage, semi-automatic breech, and standard 17.4 km range made it a long-lived Warsaw Pact artillery system, and Ukrainian forces have documented captured Russian D-20s being turned back against Russian units during the Russia-Ukraine War.
2A65 Msta-B152 mm towed howitzerSide: Russia / Ukraine / Syrian government and alliesBuilt: Motovilikha Plant / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2A65 Msta-B is a Soviet 152 mm towed howitzer built around the same artillery family as the 2S19 Msta-S. Its split-trail carriage, gun shield, and 24.7 km standard-shell range made it a long-serving post-Soviet heavy artillery piece, and Ukrainian units have continued to fire Msta-B guns during the Russia-Ukraine War despite the broader shift toward NATO-standard artillery.
2S22 Bohdana155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: PJSC Kramatorsk Heavy Duty Machine Tool Building Plant; Ukrainian Armor cabin integration on later variants / UkraineThe 2S22 Bohdana is Ukraine's domestic NATO-standard 155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer, developed around truck-mounted mobility and rapid deployment. It became one of the most visible Ukrainian-produced artillery systems of the Russia-Ukraine War after early combat use around Snake Island and later serial production supported by Ukrainian industry and foreign financing.
Zuzana 2155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: Konstrukta-Defence / SlovakiaZuzana 2 is a Slovak 155 mm/52-caliber wheeled self-propelled howitzer built around an automated loading system and a Tatra 8x8 chassis. Its NATO-standard ammunition, long-range indirect-fire role, and documented deliveries to Ukraine make it part of the Western artillery support package used to strengthen Ukrainian tube artillery in the Russia-Ukraine War.
2S7 Pion203 mm tracked self-propelled gunSide: Russia / UkraineBuilt: Leningrad Kirov Plant / Barrikady Arsenal / Soviet UnionThe 2S7 Pion is a Soviet 203 mm tracked self-propelled gun built for long-range, high-power fires against important rear-area targets. Its large 2A44 gun, tracked chassis, and rocket-assisted projectile range keep the system relevant in the Russia-Ukraine War, where both Russian and Ukrainian forces have used or reactivated Pion and Malka-family guns despite their ammunition and support burden.
