Western countries supplied M777 howitzers without GPS systems to Ukraine, fearing that the weapons would fall into the hands of the Russian military. This was reported by a source of the publication LIGA.net in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
“The M777 howitzers that Ukraine received from Western partners had the GPS system removed because governments and manufacturers have reservations about storing technology, since there is an understanding that during the war certain types of weapons can be captured by Russia,” the agency clarifies.
