EUA enviam a sua granada de artilharia mais precisa para a Ucrânia
September 8, 2022 -
O Pentágono enviou para a Ucrânia a sua mais precisa granada de
artilharia, a Excalibur guiada por GPS. A granada tem um alcance de 40,5km e uma precisão de dois metros do alvo.
A plan to replenish the U.S. stock of Excaliburs acknowledges for the first time that the Pentagon has been supplying Ukrainian forces with the shell, according to Bloomberg.
Used in 155mm howitzers –- the Army’s workhorse field artillery – the projectile was co-developed by Raytheon Missiles and Defense and BAE Systems Bofor. The precision-guided Excalibur lets battlefield commanders zero in on targets more precisely, Bloomberg said.
