German 155mm artillery systems of this brigade are currently conducting combat missions in the Donetsk region. It was this brigade that received one of the Oshkosh transporters, which the benefactors purchased jointly with volunteers of NGO "SPRAVA HROMAD" and Poroshenko Foundation. Previously, the military transported the howitzers using domestic trucks, but their speed and carrying capacity were half that of American vehicles.

Now artillery systems can be delivered to the necessary point of the front much faster. "PzH 2000 self-propelled gun weighs 62 tons.

It was previously impossible to carry such a monster on a field road, only on asphalt. But with our Oshkosh M1070, the situation is changing dramatically," Poroshenko explains. It is worth noting that the benefactors bought two Oshkosh M1070 transporter, but the second one is in the delivery stage.

On September 14, it became known that the Poroshenko Foundation and the NGO "SPRAVA HROMAD" had received export licenses from the US State Department to purchase two Oshkosh tank trucks.
