FH70 Field Howitzer

Italy has donated some FH70 Cannons to Ukraine. The FH70 is a European creation. The US built their own comparable 155mm gun, the M198 and now we have replaced it with the M777, a super-light, super-expensive, titanium framed wondergun complete with bells and whistles.
 
The FH70 is a little odd in that incorporates an APU (Auxilary Power Unit) to run the hyrdraulics. It can also be used to drive the wheels, so it can be driven short distances. Rumor has it that it can travel 20km. It is probably limited by its fuel supply.
