LIMOGES, France—French armored truck maker Arquus, specialized in manufacturing high-tech off-road military vehicles, has gone back to producing more low-tech undercarriages for howitzers as the ground war in Ukraine boosts demand for artillery.
Despite an industry trend towards more high-tech weaponry like drones and autonomous missiles, traditional battlefield equipment like tanks and howitzers such as France’s Caesar canons and U.S.-made HIMARS have helped bend the trajectory of the war in Ukraine.
