The UK bought and then shipped them to Ukraine. The UK does not have to use them to buy them.

I can find lots of stories of the UK purchasing and donating M109 self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine, but nothing about the UK donating M777 towed howitzers.

I do find stories about the US donating M777s.

Is your Google-fu better than mine, and do you have a link to UK donated M777s?

Not everything that happens during wartime is in the press, you should realize. And what’s so astounding to you about the UK buying weapons made in its own country and donating them elsewhere?

There's a video of the M777s being loaded into air cargo transport on YouTube...
Ukraine bound M777s?

IAC, if they are available, I'll take two for the waterfront homestead... Need protection against any commie subs or ships in the Chesapeake Bay...
