"The howitzer can be towed by an air-braked 4×4 vehicle greater than 2.5 tons. The maximum towed road speed is 88km/h and the towed cross-country speed is 50km/h."
I guess the government likes defending corruption.

Hey Aussies, China is moving in next door to you.
Maybe that’s a bit more important…
CoupFlu, Part Deux.
Whatever.
Neocon Bush bombed Iraq on unproven allegations that Iraq had a substantial nuke program when they were light years away from having even a rudimentary beginning.
Western powers bombed Libya on unproven allegations Gaddafi would attack 10k of his own people and no sanctions.
May 12, 1996, 60 Minutes segment on Iraq: “Lesley Stahl: “We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?” Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: “We think the price is worth it.”
But some here obviously like Bush invading and Obama bombing with the U.S. “leading from behind” and NATO offensively bombing Libya when they are a defensive org just because the U.S. did it even though Bush and Obama were corrupt.
Let’s face it... Russia is the “other” so some reflexively side with those who align against them instead of being neither for Ukraine or for Russia amd don’t appear to have principles and smack of being an interventionist warmonger even they don’t want boots on the ground. And no critism of NATO either.
Concluded: The followimg lets us know to stay out of this.
A.) Wall Steet Journal via MSN, 4/25/22:
“U.S. Wants to See Russia Weakened, Says Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin After Ukraine Visit” Raytheon Austin that is.
This was never about protecting Ukraine, this is a proxy war and was always about Russia. NATO will fight to the last Ukrainian while the U.S. has 130% debt to GDP ratio, $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, we’re broke, have rampant stagflation, shelling out billions to protect Ukraine’s borders when we don’t even protect our own.
B.) WION, Gravitas Plus: Did NATO push Ukraine into war?
“Ukraine conflict has been ‘westsplained’ enough. On Gravitas Plus, Palki Sharma tells you how Western arrogance & NATO’s expansionism are also to blame, how their actions precipitated the crisis in Ukraine.”
And Zelensky gets his 10% too:
C.) The Dutch conservative party Forum voor Democratie called for verification of the origin of US$850 million in income from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
“According to various estimates, Zelensky’s fortune is estimated at US$850 million. He did not receive most of this amount until he became president,” the Twitter statement said.

E.) WION, 4/22/22, Gravitas:
Is the West trying to hide Russian oil imports?
Give mobile nuclear missiles to Ukraine.
Position them specifically in the Donbas regions and on the Black Sea coast line.
What could Putin do...
Order Russian nuclear strikes against the same geographic areas that Russia is currently fighting a war to acquire?
They’d better be keeping them for use against China.
Useless virtue signaling that will have no impact on the war whatsoever.
