The domestically developed Archer system has been high on the Ukrainian wish list for some time, but was not included in earlier aid packages.It is an artillery system composed of a fully automated howitzer mounted on an all-terrain vehicle that can be quickly moved and fired with great precision.Defense Minister Pål Jonson said the government had asked the armed forces to come back with a recommendation on how many of the 48 Archers currently in storage could be sent.The announcement comes as international allies are stepping up their military support to help Kyiv in its war against Russia, while Moscow has warned that the delivery of new weapons to Ukraine would raise the conflict to “a whole new level.”Estonia has also announced its biggest package of heavy weapons for Ukraine so far, which would take the total military aid to Kyiv to 1 percent of the country’s GDP.On Friday, Western military leaders will convene dozens of allies to pledge more weapons for Ukraine at the United States’ Ramstein air base in Germany, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz under pressure to send Ukraine heavy-duty Leopard 2 tanks."
