Cov tub rog British tub rog cov tub rog tau zoo nkauj zoo nkauj ua ntej Russia nthuav dav nws kev ua tsov rog rau Ukraine pib 11 lub hlis dhau los. Nws rab phom thiab lub foob pob muaj tsawg dhau ntawm tus lej - thiab ua rau mob rau kev hloov kho tshiab.
Tab sis Russia txoj kev ua tsov ua rog ntawm Ukraine yuav cawm tau cov tub rog los ntawm kev poob qis ntxiv - thiab txawm tuaj yeem ua tau rov qab qhov poob. Cov tub rog Askiv tau pub nyiaj pub dawb rau Ukraine ntau dua thiab ntau dua ntawm nws cov phom loj, ua haujlwm tau zoo rau tsoomfwv hauv London thaum kawg siv nyiaj tiag tiag rau cov phom tshiab thiab tua phom.
Nyob rau hauv nruab nrab ntawm qhov teeb meem no yog ib tug British tsim, nws tus kheej-propelled, 155-millimeter howitzer uas ib zaug yog ib tug ntawm cov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm nws hom nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no, tab sis tam sim no sai sai tau dhau los lawm. Lub Vickers AS-90.

Muaj tseeb, Ukrainian arsenal suav nrog ntau ntau heev qub thiab inefficient, ex-Soviet phom thiab launchers. Tab sis dab tsi lub Ukrainian artillery corps tsis muaj nyob rau hauv zoo, nws ntau tshaj li ua nyob rau hauv kom muaj nuj nqis.
Cov Ukrainians tuaj yeem xa ib rab phom rau txhua 85 pab tub rog. Cov Brits-ib phom rau txhua 235 pab tub rog. "Tam sim no UK muaj qhov tsis txaus ntawm cov phom loj," Royal United Services Institute hauv London ceeb toom.
Ukraine tus artillery daim nqi loj hlob, ntau, ib zaug cov Russians tawm tsam. Poob hauv phom loj thiab launchers tau nce siab. Thiab raws li cov tub rog ntxiv infantry brigades, nws xav tau cov phom loj ntxiv los txhawb lawv.
Kyiv cov koom haum txawv teb chaws ceev faj Ntau tshaj 800 foob pob hluav taws-launchers thiab towed thiab self-propelled howitzers.

Qhov ntawd yuav yog qhov tshwm sim hauv tebchaws United Kingdom, ib yam nkaus. RUSI tau hais tias "Kev hloov tshiab yuav tsum tsis txhob tsuas yog rov ua dua cov platform uas twb muaj lawm," RUSI qhia. Txawm li cas los xij uas cov tub rog Askiv yuav tom ntej tshwj xeeb yuav tsum txhim kho ntawm qhov nruab nrab ntawm AS-90.
Tus tsib tus neeg, 45-tuj AS-90 tsis yog ib rab phom middling. Thaum nws tau pib ua haujlwm hauv British Army thaum xyoo 1990, nws yog ib lub ntiaj teb zoo dua taug qab howitzers. Qhov siab ntawm automation-xws li lub tsheb thauj khoom tsis siv neeg-ua rau rab phom muaj qhov hluav taws kub siab: rau ib feeb rau peb feeb.
Tab sis AS-90's L31 phom luv luv, nrog 39-caliber ntsuas. Qhov luv ntawm lub thoob, qhov luv luv ntawm kev tua hluav taws.
Lub AS-90 tuaj yeem tua cov lus pom zoo - uas yog, tsis yog foob pob hluav taws-pab-plhaub tsuas yog 16 mais, hos South Kauslim K-9 taug qab howitzer nrog nws 52-caliber chim tuaj yeem tua tau deb li 19 mais.

Thaum Poland pib tso cai rau South Kauslim K-9 howitzer rau hauv zos tsim, nws ntxiv AS-90's turret mus rau K-9's chassis. Tab sis nws tsim nyog sau cia tias Poles tau teeb tsa 52-caliber phom ntawm Fabkis keeb kwm es tsis txhob khaws 39-caliber British phom.

Cov tub rog tab tom ntsuas K-9, Fabkis Cesar, tus Swedish Archer thiab lwm yam tracked thiab wheeled howitzers. Txhua tus muaj phom ntev-52 calibers lossis ntau dua.
Thaum cov txheej txheem xaiv rau tus tshiab howitzer tab tom pib, cov tub rog tuaj yeem tau txais ob peb rab phom tshiab los txuas qhov sib txawv ntawm AS-90s thiab txawm tias los tom ntej. Wallace tau hais tias "Kuv kuj tau hais tias, raws li kev sib tham txog kev lag luam, yuav tsum muaj peev xwm ua kom muaj peev xwm ua haujlwm ib ntus," Wallace tau hais.
Tsis txhob poob siab yog hais tias lub sij hawm thiab lub hom phiaj howitzers xaus li qub. Tsis txhob poob siab yog tias United Kingdom ua raws li Poland's, Norway thiab Estonia cov thawj coj thiab coj cov K-9 zoo rau ob qho tib si.
Thaum ex-British AS-90s yob rau hauv kev sib ntaus sib tua nrog Ukrainian roj teeb, British roj teeb yuav tsum tau rov nruab rau lub tom ntej no tsov rog-nrog phom uas tua ntau dua.
