PzH 2000 ACS in Ukraine: Defense Ministry showed the howitzers working against Russian invaders

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are using the German 155mm Panzerhaubitze (PzH) 2000 self-propelled howitzers at the front line.

The video featuring this was released by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Gunners are launching artillery strikes at the positions of Russia’s invasion forces.

The Ukrainian military is also undertaking the utmost measures to hide from the enemy the location of these weapons.

The video features that the howitzer was disguised with vegetation at a firing position.

Germany and the Netherlands handed over all the 12 promised PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Christine Lambrecht, German Defense Minister, stated that fully prepared crews had arrived in Ukraine along with the ACS. Thus, the Defense Forces of Ukraine were replenished with a full-fledged self-propelled artillery howitzer division armed with one of the most advanced howitzers in the world.

At the end of last month, it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would be receiving additional Panzerhaubitze (PzH) 2000 self-propelled howitzers from Germany and the Netherlands.

On the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid, they announced the additional supplies of self-propelled howitzers.

Each country will provide three self-propelled howitzers. Thus, the total number of 155-mm self-propelled howitzers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will become 18 units.
