And Raytheon has converted the Swedish Excalibur into a cannon launched version of the Stormbreaker Small Diameter Bomb. Putting the round onto the same wavelength as the British Brimstone and the Swedish Strix. Punt it into the nearest grid square and the round will find its own target.

Ukraine is supplying something for everyone.
105 or 155
Towed or SP
Guns or Rockets
Or all of the above....
The Poles want to equip their territorials with truck-mounted 105s like the Hawkeye. Apparently what they saw in Ukraine impressed them.

I wonder if a portee version of the 105 could be developed using the Hawkeye recoil mechanism. Then it could be fired mounted and dismounted. A Canadian development opportunity?

"Another" would indicated there had been at least one before this, but . . .
It doesn't say how many they are buying but based on the fact they currently have only mortars for their three infantry regiments, I'd guess one 18-gun battalion at best.

I was meaning another post.
You're right it is the first sale and I wouldn't consider Kosovo a first line customer.

"According to reporting by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the Taiwanese government requested the purchase from the United States of forty (40) new M109A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzers, along with a significant package of support vehicles intended to perform ammunition resupply and recovery roles.
"The package, valued at more than US$4 billion, includes—beyond the M109A7 howitzers themselves—the provision of sixty (60) M992A3 ammunition resupply vehicles, as well as thirteen (13) M88A2 recovery vehicles. It also includes the sale of up to 4,080 guidance kits—presumably M1156—to equip 155 mm projectiles, in addition to Integrated Fires Tactical Data System (IFATDS) artillery command-and-control systems."
