“The audacity of the wheeled cannon is the maximum efficiency,” Beaudouin told Defense News. “You sacrifice nothing in terms of firepower, rate of fire, precision and range, and you’ve got a truck, armored all the same, but which is able to be nimble, which is very stealthy.”

Beaudouin was part of the French Army’s decision to buy an upgraded Caesar, so he might be suspected of bias toward wheels. But at least nine other countries, including the U.K. and Germany, decided to invest in self-propelled wheeled howitzers in the past year. Analysts said the Ukrainian experience is driving military planners’ interest.

...

Interest in wheeled self-propelled artillery flows from a desire for a “much higher degree of mobility and survivability” than towed guns, said Daniels. Military staff who see wheels as an attractive option over tracks “often define survivability in a broader way, as opposed to seeing it purely from the physical protection offered by onboard armor,” he added.

...

“Ukrainian use of shoot-and-scoot artillery fire suggests that the future lies in highly mobile artillery, be they tracked or wheeled,” Jones said.

More details: On 18 June 2025, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the law, introducing new requirements for ARMA’s head, a selection process involving international experts, a transparent asset management mechanism and oversight of asset transfers.

The bill passed its first reading on 12 February 2025. The government had emphasised its urgency to meet European Union requirements.

Background:

FPV on fiber optics now pose a great threat, unfortunately, electronic warfare systems will not work against them and there are still no proven and guaranteed methods of combating them. If the enemy detects the position of UAV pilots, he most often sends FPV tags on optics there. Such a deadly bird can fly along the landing and fly into the dugout with the pilots.

However, the "optics" also has weaknesses - for example, it is larger in size (due to the coil) and is not very maneuverable. Therefore, it is easier to shoot down with small arms

P.S. - the main thing is not to be afraid of it, and shooting it down is easier than it seems

We arrange a "Shahedopad" for the enemy 💥

Since mid-spring, we have begun providing the Drone Drop units with the means to shoot down the Shaheds and have launched the same mysterious countdown on the website. Thanks to the pilot batch of interceptors from the Foundation, 17 Shahed UAVs and over 30 Gerber UAVs — a cheaper analogue of the Shahed — have already been destroyed.

It's not much, but our experience shows that the path from a few downed drones per week to several hundred per month is real. So it's time for "Dronepad" to take on "Shahedas" 😈

For over two and a half years, the Russians have been terrorizing Ukraine, killing, maiming, and destroying, in particular, with the help of these strike UAVs. We have a working, tested solution, we have the necessary experience, and we know how to fight them. The matter remains with your support, because shooting down the shaheeds requires more expensive solutions.
