Additional Information

As the most outstanding self-propelled howitzer in the world, the German Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH2000) has a firepower superior to all analogues. The Rheinmetall 155mm L52 has incredible accuracy and range, and the loading system provides a high rate of fire. When firing, the smoke escaping from the muzzle brake looks like Thor's hammer. Because of this magnificent weapon, other advantages of the PzH2000, such as excellent protection, are somewhat dimmed. The howitzer is made of homogeneous steel sheets with an average thickness of 20mm. The armor can withstand attacks from 14.5 mm machine gun and shrapnel 152mm shells. Compared to other self-propelled howitzers, the PzH2000 has a bullet-proof turret, and is the world's first howitzer with a modular armor system. On the hull and turret are mounted additional armor, 10 000, "long eagle" with a length of 60mm gave this strange structure called "Igelpanzerung" - tight armor. 75 plates are placed in five boxes and transported with the machine on the battlefield. Of course additional armor increases the weight of the machine from 49 to 57 tons. Combat debut PzH2000 took place in 2006, three Dutch howitzers took part in the operation "Medusa" against Taliban fighters. In 2010, 3 more howitzers of the German army were sent to Afghanistan, where in practice were proven high security, mobility and firepower of this outstanding machine.
