PzH 2000

Germany's high-tempo tracked self-propelled howitzer — a 155 mm L/52 gun with a full autoloader, MRSI capability, and a proven record in counter-battery duels from Ukraine to NATO deployments.

Overview

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) is a tracked 155 mm/L52 self-propelled howitzer developed in Germany and fielded by multiple NATO armies. Entering service in 1998, it combines a fully automated 60-round magazine, a high rate of fire capable of placing multiple rounds on a single target simultaneously (Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact, or MRSI), and a reach of up to ~54–56 km with Velocity-enhanced Long-range Artillery Projectile (V-LAP) ammunition. The system serves as a cornerstone of armored brigade fire support for its operators and has been transferred to Ukraine, where its firepower and mobility are used in intensive artillery warfare.
