German quality never disappoints.

Glad to hear that the PzH2000 is doing a good job.

“Dad, why is my sister’s name Rose?” “Because your mother loves Roses” “Thanks dad” “No problem Panzerhaubitze 2000”

I grew up near Bergen, one of the biggest training fields for the"Panzer-Brigade" and went to bed while they were shooting projectiles over my head just to hit a target 40 to 60 km away. The precision and the sound are mind-blowing. Sometimes I had the chance to see them firing and now I'm glad that Germany sent some of these beasts to defend Ukraine.

from Germany with LOVE, Slava Ukraini !

Whoa that engine sounds like a pure beast, i remember training in germany as a dutch marine. I heard the leopard tank roaring for the first time ground was shaking it was frightening

As a german, I have to say those ukrainian soldiers a real heroes in my eyes! Thank you so much!

You can see how proud these guys are of their equipment and their ability to use and look after it.

Thanks to Netherlands and Germany for stepping up and sending these awesome weapons. love and best wishes from UK

Just send all Germany has, best investment ever!

There's a reason German weapons and engineering are a thing. There are three places in the world where you can depend on quality steel enough to literally stake your own life on it: Japan, the USA, and Germany. Germany was also a major innovator during the Second World War. Say what you want about the many evil things that regime did - including slave labor in the factories - but the actual engineering and improvement of weapons was second to none. Now their assembly lines weren't as efficient as those elsewhere, and that's partly why they weren't able to make equipment in numbers, but the actual designs tended to be machines that functioned remarkably well. Artillery pieces like the FlaK36 "88" anti-aircraft gun (and it's 128mm counterpart), tanks like the Pz IV and StuG III, fighters like the Bf109 and the Fw190, and of course small arms like the MP40, MG34, and MG42. The MG42 is objectively one of the best firearms ever made. It's so good that we are STILL producing new weapons that are based on, or descended from, its design. Every video game about the second world war almost always has at least one scene (but usually several) where that weapon in particular plays a significant role. The MG3 was based on it, nations all over Europe copied it, and even we Americans took design elements from it and based the M60 GPM off of it. According to "Forgotten Weapons", the combined Allied effort to play down the effectiveness of the MG42 largely failed "because it really was an excellent gun". Now with all of that in mind, and that last sentence in particular, apply all of that to the PzH 2000. It's technically the same caliber as most other NATO artillery pieces. We have the M777 Howitzer and the M109 Paladin. The M777 is the fixed variant, and the M109 would be the American equivalent to the PzH 2000. Both fit into the category of mobile artillery. However (and I'm drawing info from wikipedia, so forgive me for doing so but this also isn't a scholarly article) the PzH 2000's range is SIGNIFICANTLY longer than the M109: 42 miles vs 19 miles for the RAP (rocket assisted projectile). I do not know the PzH2k's range with the Excalibur munition, but I do know the M109's is 25 miles. Even that is sill much less. The Paladin uses a 23 caliber barrel, while the 2k uses a 52 caliber barrel. The overall length of a barrel is its bore diameter in millimeters divided by its caliber, which gives a length of 3565mm for the Paladin and 8,060mm for the 2000. That's an 11'8" barrel on the Paladin compared with 26'5" for the 2000. The extraordinarily large barrel allows much more time for compressed ignition gases to exert pressure behind the projectile which increases its muzzle velocity and therefore its range. In addition, its chrome-lined, laser-hardened barrel allows it to briefly sustain an extremely high rate of fire, famed for being able to fire 3-4 shots in 10 seconds. Indeed, in the video below, you can witness one firing three shots in 10 seconds by its Dutch crew. I'm hazarding a guess if they were in a more serious situation they would be moving with an even greater sense of urgency. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sKFkqnh5bpp_2Kc.html Long range, high rate of fire, and high accuracy thanks to both its own guidance and - where possible - use of the Excalibur GPS-guided munitions. These make the PzH 2000 the best self-propelled artillery piece in existence. And Ukraine now has enough of these to outfit an entire artillery brigade. And also serving as a wonderful complement to their HIMARS and M270 MLRS rocket launchers.

I am happy as a German that these weapons help, I hope we send much more. No problem with my tax money going to Ukraine, they are a wonderful nation.

Thank you Germany🥰and The Netherlands🥰❣️🙏 Love🥰from🇸🇪to🇺🇦🌻

From Germany with love. Slava Ukraini! Smert Voroham! 💙💙💙💙💙💙 💛💛💛💛💛💛

Bravo Germany, Bravo Netherlands, Slava Ukraine.

Thank you Germany for your help. God bless Ukraine, and all the other nations who have helped

CROATIA is with you. SLAVA UKRAJINI !

Thanks very much Germany👍

Respect to Germany and the Netherlands for sending these monsters Together we can win this.🇬🇧🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸

God Bless you Germany, strong country. 🇦🇱🇩🇪

Greetings from Germany, hope the government will send more! What Putin has done is a major disgrace.

Well done Germany and Holland. Good luck Ukraine from Ireland

I feel so Howitzer today 🇺🇦🇩🇪🇺🇦

From Germany with love! 🖤❤💛💙✊

Thanks Germany!

❤️Ukrainian 🇬🇪

i am trained at the panzerhaubitze 2000 if i was in the german army, that thing brings hell ....

As the advert says " Vorsprung Durch Technik " ....or in English " Advance Through Technology " Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️🇬🇧

Anything engineered in Germany is usually solidly built and does what it's supposed to do...... Given Germany's past, it can't have been an easy decision to agree to supply weapons to another nation. But you did the right thing Germany. The decision was the right one..... Well done to the Netherlands too. Again, the right decision..... There is no second chance here. The World has to come together to show it's disapproval of Russia's actions...........

Thank you Germany 🇺🇦🤝🇩🇪

This is German technology solid metal

0:28 the engine sound 🥰 true German Power

They fire less because you hit them!!! Keep on, from Sweden!!!

Nice to see the excellent Ukrainian professional army in action

Greatings from Germany, hope the best for all Ukraine Soldiers and Civilians and hope our support gets more and more.

0:24 the engine sound, the angle, the environment, its just so badass to look at.

Germany needs to ramp up production of these monsters.

Thank you Germany!

You boy's are on the frontline defending freedom. Respect for all the Ukrainian armed force's. Salva Ukraine 🇺🇦

As an American with a Ukrainian mother and German father. I love seeing these German guns fighting in Ukraine 🇺🇦. 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇸

Hope we can send around 20 of the 100 ordered relatively quickly with COBRA radar system and add each 100 Marder, Fuchs and Leopards to it. This would made a nice package

Protect them like a new born gentlemen. Slava Ukraini!

Greetings from Germany! Its a pity that the production of Panzerhaubitze and Leopard is such a complicated thing. The Ukrainian Army deserves hundreds of them. 🖤❤️💛 - 💙 💛

Thank you Germany for sending these great machines to Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦

Absolutely love the sound of that turbo Diesel!! Thank you Germany!

some fine german engineering there

Well done Germany for helping this gallant nation . 🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you, Germany!!! You're definitely on the right side of justice this time! Hat's off to you!

As a German citizen its good to see that they help. My big thank you to the Netherlands. Without them the German Government would have never sent the weapons.

I would caution China and Russia on reawakening Germany and Japan's war economies.

Good to see german engineering doing its job. Slava Ukraini! 🇩🇪🤝🏻🇺🇦

Slava Ukraini and hello from Germany. Wish you the best✌️✌️✌️

Thanks Germany and the Netherlands!

God damn, the shockwave when that thing fires. Between stuff like this and the HIMARS running non-stop? Don't fuck with NATO, but as we've learned from this war, especially don't fuck with NATO when their equipment is being used by badass Ukrainians!

Always great to see this beautiful monster. Especially when it's now finally in service with the Ukrainian army. Slava Ukraini!

Gott schütze die Ukraine ! Slava Ukraine !

Magnificent machinery. Add that to the professionalism of the Ukrainian gunner - and the Orcs don't have time to say a Pater Noster.

Подяка німецьким друзям!!!

Glad to contribute! Greetings from the Netherlands! Slava Ukraini!

Best wishes to Ukraine her Armed Forces and People 🇺🇦🇬🇧

I am really happy to see, that our Panzerhaubitzen in Ukraine are doing a helpful job. Nothing to compare to the great work of your gunners, of course! Absolute respect for these soldiers - and thank you for defending our freedom. We are sorry that our government cannot bring itself to send you more of these devices. But we are working on it... :-)

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 Thank you Germany❤️

best regards from central Germany, slava Ukraini! 💙💛

Germany is a great country. I love the people, culture and industrial power.

Hope that we (Germany🇩🇪) will send much more of these weapons as fast as possible to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Russia have to and will loose this war like Hitler in the past.

10 from Germany, 8 from the Netherlands. 18 of these beasts is pretty nice. However I hope they'll send more. I also hope that of the 100 ordered by Ukraine at the manufacturer maybe some are already not too far from beimg finished as I believe Ukraine announced the order a couple of months ago already.

They need much, much more of those. We need to give them more.

I would have liked it better, if the first German word they learn had been _Prost_ (cheers) or _Freundschaft_ (friendship) or maybe _Bratwurst_ (fried sausage) rather than _Panzerhaubitze_ (literally interpreted: armoured howitzer or tank howitzer). But under the given circumstances I'm glad they had the chance to learn the word and have what it means on their side!

Great Britain 🇬🇧 is watching you guys ! May god protect you and may you soon be back with your loved ones and your families!

Russia doesn't have an Army, it has a Horde.

God Bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 Victory Will come soon salute from Cuba 🇨🇺.

Nice" great soldiers of Ukraine!!!! Long Live Ukraine!!!! God Blessed Ukraine!!!!

Imagine when Ukrainians will get a 100 of these PZH 2000, a 100 HIMARS, a 100 of CAESAR. It will be Hell on earth for the Russian army.

We are honoured that we could help. The Dutch.

I am Bosnian I have many Bosnian Ukrainians friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Many Ukrainians visit Bosnia and Herzegovina in North part of country and south side of the country and capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Slava Ukrajini! Herojima Slava!💙💛

As a German ist strange to see weapons of our army on real war combat. Whe thought and hoped this would never be necessary again. Good luck Ukrainian soldiers.

Glory to nato. Glory to Germany. Glory to the Netherlands. Glory to Ukraine

German engineering at work

we trained you in Germany on the howitzer and you trained day and night!! Protect your land... we will bring you more!! God bless you

Germans make the best war machines 😻

Danke Deutschland. Gott segne dich weiter als einer der Größte. Danke auch an Alle, die die Ukrainer geholfen haben.

You can tell by the "Thousand yard stare" in these soldier's eyes that they've been through a lot in the last 6 months. 🌻🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦🌻

I live near Bergen/Germany. There is a training field where soldiers training on the PH2000. When they shoot ... - man you can hear this up to moscow.

Jesus Christ the engine sounds like if a Tiger 2 or Jagdtiger were approaching, what a beast.

These guys have got more combat experience on this weapon system in a week than anybody in the german army.

German Equipment. You have money you get German Weapons

"It aims by itself, I calculates by itself, ..." So you just type in "Russian" and hit enter?

You guys have to understand, they operate different system from different countries. Absolute mad lads.

Bravo Germany, please never stop help for the freedom fighters !

These men have been through a lot. They come across as very professional. I am so happy to hear these men talk and to know that the Netherlands and Germany pulled together to show badly needed support to these Ukraine brave men. I fear for their safety as we watch how drones locate and drop to attack. Glory to Ukraine and all their hero's and people who support them. If russia would simply return to their pootin and leave it would be perfect.

As an old gunner (SE Asia 1967/68) I am constantly impressed by the technology used with arty today. Very accurate and very impressive. Ubique!

As a German: This is just beautiful.

Always remember the anti-drone defense, being spotted means being targets.

the name alone already scares the shit out of me: panzer howitzer. 🇺🇦🇳🇱🇩🇪🇪🇺

Slava Ukraine 💗🇺🇦💪 this is the Support from my Country Germany 🇩🇪 . Yes verry good 🙂🇺🇦💖🇩🇪💖🇪🇺💖 . The Ukraine is Europa 🇪🇺💪🔥💝

Für euch Ukraine viel Glück💪🇩🇪 das Beste

Anything made in Germany is top level. Always has been. The best of the best. These poor soldiers, they look so tired but otherwise look healthy. If you compare how they look to the Russian soldiers who look extremely thin, rough and dirty, the Ukrainians look great. I’m glad Ukraine is taking good care of its brave warriors. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇦

I'm sitting here watching this and smiling ear to ear! Thank you Germany!! 🇩🇪 Thank you Netherlands 🇳🇱 The orcs don't like them... they STING!!!!! Victory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

Nothing short of remarkably Fantastic! The crew have become ballistic scientists on their mission to eliminate the Russian presence in the Ukraine. Please finish this job quickly. Slava Ukraine!

Keep fighting! The whole world stands with you 🤝
