Slovakia will donate 2 more Zuzana 2 self propelled howitzers to Ukraine, Slovak news outlet Denik N reported on July 31.
According to Denik N, the equipment will be officially transferred on the morning of August 1. Prime Minister Ludovit Oder, and Minister of Defense Matin Sklenar will be present as the howitzers begin there journey to Ukraine.
The two howitzers are the first of 16 that will be provided to Ukraine, funded by Denmark, Germany, and Norway.

Kyiv and Bratislava signed an agreement on supply of 8 Zuzana 2 howitzers last year. Ukraine received all of them by the end of January 2023.
The Zuzana 2 8×8 is an updated version of the Zuzana wheeled 155mm self-propelled howitzer. It has an extended range of up to 42 km.

Thank you, Slovakia!
Thank you but I’m curious. The government is positive to Ukraine but didn’t I see polls where the citizens didn’t want anything to do with this war? If this is true it’s great but I think there’s a election coming with the opposing party in the lead. Not a good sign.
If the polls are correct, Robert Fico is expected to win in September.
The guy has been rimming putler’s ass since at least 2008, when he accused Georgia of “provoking” Russia when attacking South Ossetia in the 2008 Russia–Georgia war.
If Fico wins, putler’s Euro fan base will increase: Slovakia will be added to the likes of Austria, Serbia, Orbanistan. I think Croatia has a pro-putler president also.
Pretty scary. They’re all Central European countries. What is with those people. Is it in the water?
