British Army Fires Archer 155 mm Howitzers in Estonia

First operational use of the British Army’s Archer 155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers during a live-fire exercise in Estonia, July 2025. Deployed as part of NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence battlegroup Estonia, these systems carried out coordinated fire missions with allied units, integrating into a fully networked multinational operation. The Archer system offers high mobility, rapid firing, and precision strike capability, supporting NATO’s defensive posture on its eastern flank.
