Polish-made Krab howitzer: Ukraine's new frontline hero

The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over two and a half years. During this time, hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of Polish equipment, appeared on Ukrainian soil, which we enthusiastically handed over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighting against the Russian occupier, especially in the early days of the conflict.

Most of the machines we delivered were Soviet-era equipment, but there were also modern and, most importantly, Polish-made vehicles like the Rosomak and Krab howitzers. The Ukrainian army also received many weapons, with the Piorun anti-aircraft missile system standing out in particular.

There is no shortage of positive videos showcasing the use of Polish-made machines. For example, Ukrainians have fallen in love with the Krabs, which have repeatedly demonstrated their immense usefulness and effectiveness on the front lines. At one point, these Polish howitzers were even called the "nightmare of the occupiers."

A few days ago, another opportunity to marvel at the AHS Krab produced in Stalowa Wola appeared. This time, it was thanks to a short video showing it speeding through a Ukrainian field.

You can even hear a child expressing surprise and enthusiasm at such an unusual sight in the recording. The video description tells us that the Polish machine managed to accelerate to about 47 mph, which is quite an achievement considering its weight and the conditions in which it operated.
