''Earlier, France trained and equipped the Ukrainian 155th Mechanized Brigade named after Anna of Kyiv, providing armored vehicles, artillery, and training for 2,300 soldiers.''

Probably an all-in package.

Footage of Ukrainian FPV drones attacking a Russian M1989 Koksan self-propelled howitzer. The video was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia, according to some media, it was filmed in Donbass. The 170-mm M1989 Koksan self-propelled howitzer is produced in North Korea. There is still no footage of the M1989 self-propelled howitzer in action in Russia. The M1989 Koksan self-propelled howitzer was attacked by three drones while being towed. Judging by the video, the howitzer was confirmed to have been destroyed for the first time. The Russian tank with Tsar-Mangal protection was not attacked by drones.

Russian FPV drone operators have published footage of the destruction of a camouflaged Ukrainian DANA vz. 77 self-propelled howitzer. The video was filmed in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. The 152 mm DANA vz. 77 self-propelled howitzer was developed in 1977 in Czechoslovakia and has a firing range of up to 20 kilometers. The Ukrainian army also has a modernized version of the Dana-M2 self-propelled howitzer. As a result of the attack by the Russian FPV drone, the Ukrainian DANA vz. 77 self-propelled howitzer was completely destroyed. This is the third confirmed loss of this type of self-propelled howitzer by the Ukrainian army.

I posted about this earlier in thread. The Brigade is bring equipped from scratch, with help from Sweden, Denmark, the Baltics and likely Finland (they just keep quiet). They're going to feature CV90 IFVs, Leopard 1A5 MBTs, Archer 155mm Artillery, a drone unit and unknown APCs.

It's not in any way cheap to train and fully equip a 3000-5000 person mechanized infantry brigade. $1 Billion usd sounds about right. It would probably be 2-3x that if we were talking a fully kitted out 5000 strong Western brigade.
