Azerbaijan Receives First Shipment of Slovakia's Modernized L-45 Howitzers

On September 9, Czech Republic delivered the first batch of L-45 DITA 155 mm self-propelled howitzers to Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan received the latest modernized version of the howitzers, mounted on a TATRA T815 8×8 platform.
Notably, the L-45 DITA howitzers are equipped with an automatic fire control system and require only a driver and a commander to operate. This model offers greater firepower and maneuverability compared to previous versions.
It was reported that Azerbaijan had recently placed an order for 70 units of the DITA L-45. These howitzers are based on the DANA SAU, a model produced in Czechoslovakia during the Soviet era. Slovakia has since modernized the DANA, resulting in the L-45 DITA howitzers equipped with a NATO-caliber gun.
