US M777 howitzers are maybe good for killing civilians in indiscriminate shelling of cities in Eastern Ukraine, but they are unwieldy, fragile and very high maintenance, made of poor quality metal, regularly break in process of operation, require extensive training, easy to knock out even in indirect fire by small amounts of shrapnel or even by indirect small arms fire, also easy to locate and destroy by precision and not-so-precision munitions as this post will demonstrate.
