LONDON, - Britain said on Wednesday it will spend 1 billion pounds ($1.35 billion) buying its army 72 remote controlled RCH 155 howitzers, an artillery gun mounted on a vehicle, as part of a modernisation plan which will support over 500 jobs.
UK has a gap in its war-fighting capability after handing its previous fleet of artillery systems, AS90s, to Ukraine in recent years. The RCH 155s will fill that gap.
