Numerous Ukrainian forces demonstrated the M109’s modernized self-propelled artillery units in action. Videos with artillery equipment were posted on social networks. In the video, the Ukrainian army provided training on the operation of a foreign facility. Norwegian self-propelled artillery units joined the Ukrainian army in the modernization of the M109A3GN.
Presumably, the artillery units were used by the artillery of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade named after the Black Cossacks. It will be remembered that on May 28, the press service of the Black Cossack Brigade published a photo of the M109 ACS number 075. In early May, it was reported that the Ukrainian army could receive about 20 M109A3GN from Norway.
Also recently, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov announced that the Armed Forces of Ukraine received M109 self-propelled artillery units.
AU M109A3GN – Norwegian version of the American-made M109, 155-mm self-propelled howitzer on a tracked armored chassis. Units were purchased in West Germany. The Norwegian version of the ACS is a German modernization of the American M109A3, armed with a new 155-caliber barrel that allows you to shoot improved 155 mm ammunition.
It is stated that ACS has a maximum range of 24,700 meters. Long-range projectiles can be fired from a distance of up to 30 kilometers. Source
