Netherlands orders additional DITA self-propelled howitzers for Ukraine

The Netherlands has placed an order for six more DITA self-propelled howitzers from Czechia as part of its ongoing support for Ukraine.

The DITA self-propelled howitzer is a modern artillery system that can hit targets dozens of kilometres away. Ukraine urgently needs weapons of this kind. The Netherlands therefore recently ordered nine units for Ukraine. The weapons are part of a large Dutch order for Ukraine that is being fulfilled by two arms manufacturers in the Czech Republic. Netherlands Chief of Defence General Onno Eichelsheim paid them a visit.
