Ukraine has already received over 1.5 million rounds of 155 mm howitzer ammunition from the United States. Here is more information regarding the coveted ammo.
What is the 155 MM?
Essentially, the 155 mm round is a very big bullet, made up of four parts: the detonating fuse, projectile, propellant and primer.
Each round is about 2 feet long, weighs about 100 pounds, and is 155 mm, or 6.1 inches, in diameter. They are used in howitzer systems, which are towed large guns that are identified by the range of the angle of fire that their barrels can be set to.
