The Brigade, named after Khorunzhii-General Roman Dashkevich, received 155mm KRAB artillery systems.

The Ukrainian gunners of the 26th Artillery Brigade demonstrated their Polish-made systems’ combat work.

“All at once, you are interested in how the KRAB self-propelled guns work: quickly, efficiently, comfortably for our guys,” says the Brigade.

The military says that the Polish artillery systems work better than the ones from the Soviet-era.

“Working with foreign-made guns, you can forget about the epic pictures with dragon fire when the projectile exits: because there is no fire. At all. Here is a different propellant, a different principle of operation,” the reports said.

The 26th Separate Artillery Brigade is part of Operational Command “North.”

It is known that this Ukrainian Brigade helps to defend and liberate the Donetsk region.

Recently, chaplains of the 26th Artillery Brigade distributed humanitarian aid to local residents of the liberated settlement of Sviatohirsk, in the Donetsk region.

Recall that at the end of May 2022, the transfer of the first 18 self-propelled guns from Poland to Ukraine was announced.

The Ukrainian military received new 155mm Slovak-made OFd MKM rounds for the 155mm KRAB self-propelled guns.

Poland also handed over to Ukraine mobile command vehicles for these ACS.

In 2020, the 26th Artillery Brigade received 1V12 command fire control vehicles.
