The Netherlands has ordered nine the most modern Dita 155 mm NATO self-propelled howitzers on a Tatra 8x8 chassis for the Ukrainian army from the Czech manufacturer Excalibur Army. The Dutch ambassador to the Czech Republic, Daan Huisinga, informed about the contract on the X platform. The weapons are part of a large Dutch order for Ukraine to be supplied by two Czech arms manufacturers, the Dutch Ministry of Defense said. Dutch Army Chief of Staff Onno Eichelsheim visited Excalibur Army's factory in Šternberk on Tuesday to control production of T-72EA tanks and Dita 155 mm systems for Ukraine. In addition to self-propelled howitzers, Eichelsheim in the Czech Republic was also interested in the VERA-NG passive tracking system. The product of the Czech company ERA can detect air, sea and ground targets.

There's a lot of that going on... drunk assaults - drunk flying - drunk driving.
The Ukrainian army began to use ground-based kamikaze drones. Everyone in Ukraine is already accustomed to the use of flying kamikaze drones, but ground-based kamikaze drones are gradually beginning to be used, and their role should not be underestimated. The Ukrainian army published a video of the use of a ground-based kamikaze drone equipped with TM-62 anti-tank mines, the type of drone used is unknown, it is probably homemade. As you can see from the video, such drones could become a new threat at the front. For now they are rarely used.
Footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone “Lancet-51” on the Ukrainian 155-mm Slovak-made Zuzana 2 self-propelled gun has been published. The Zuzana 2 self-propelled gun was developed in 1998 and placed on a Tatra 817 wheeled chassis, the self-propelled gun’s firing range is up to 40 kilometers, and the rate of fire is up to 6 rounds per minute. According to official data, only 28 Zuzana 2 self-propelled guns were produced. As a result of the Lancet drone strike, a strong fire started in the self-propelled gun.

As i heard in the last YT Vid of Arthur Rehi, these things are badly constructed. You must not be drunk to throw it on one side...

The superstructure is just way too high and top-heavy considering the width of the vehicle. Either use a bigger chassis and spread stuff out or try not to cram everything onto a single truck.
The turret works on the Tunguska because it's much wider, heavier (hull) and the tracks lower the ground pressure. This is Tunguska on a budget.

Several European nations have sourced hundreds of thousands of 122-millimeter artillery rounds from abroad to donate to Ukraine, a move that experts say will help bridge Kyiv’s ammunition shortage against invading Russian forces during a critical time of the war.
The latest military package bound for Ukraine, announced this month by the German government, included over 120,000 artillery projectiles of the Soviet-standard caliber. The Berlin government specified that the deliveries were coming from industry stocks financed with public funds.
Local newspaper Der Spiegel reported that rounds were ordered from Bulgaria, a key producer of this type of ammunition in Europe.
“Most of Ukraine’s artillery is still from the Soviet era – standards were 122mm, 130mm and 152mm, so getting more of this caliber ammunition for Kyiv is valuable,” Mark Cancian, senior adviser for the international security program at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said.
Ukrainian forces still rely on older equipment, including the D-30 or 2S1 Gvozdika howitzers, which can only fire non-NATO rounds.
At the Munich Conference, the President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, said his government was also able to source nearly one million rounds from abroad, including 800,000 of the 155mm type and 300,000 of the 122mm type.
He added that the ammunition could be sent swiftly to the embattled country if funding was secured from other allies.
“Buying ammunition on the world market makes a lot of sense because of limits on what Europe and the U.S. can produce – Washington has done a lot of that already, having provided 200,000 152mm, 40,000 130mm, and 40,000 of 122mm type,” Cancian said.
