Heavy Howitzer Loses Out: the Zuzana 2 System Phased Down in Slovak Defense Shakeup
Slovakia plans to halt production of the Zuzana 2 system, shifting resources toward the development and manufacturing of the newer Eva artillery system.
According to Slovak outlet Denník N, the decision was influenced by lessons from the Russo-Ukrainian war, which has reshaped global demand for artillery systems.
The war in Ukraine "killed" the Zuzana 2 system's chances on the international market.
Modern buyers prefer lighter, more mobile, and highly automated systems that prioritize crew safety and rapid redeployment.
- The Zuzana 2 system is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer.
- The Eva system is lighter and more modern.
Author's summary: Slovakia stops Zuzana 2 production due to changed market demand.
