Battle for Bakhmut: German-made PzH 2000 and Soviet Pion 2S7 against Russian troops 🔥

How one mighty Ukrainian artillery brigade crushes Russians using legendary Soviet “Peony” and German-made PzH 2000s. Both of these weapons are being put to good use by the 43rd Artillery Brigade of Great Power, who bravely continue to liberate Ukrainian land, meter by meter.

@hpbnjelly anorak is used as a term for someone who is really into something. It was originally used for train spotters. You could see them standing at the end of the platform wearing an anorak and writing down the engine numbers. I guess you could maybe equate it to a nerd or geek.

Rheinmetall is building 3 new factories in Hungary and when the war is over there should be no problem with delivery of weapons from Hungary to Ukraine. Don't know how it looks with the 100 pzh 2000 ordered by Ukraine, if they are built in Germany or maybe assembled in Ukraine.

[@zhufortheimpaler4041]

@@Ofasia777 the problem is, such a factory is pretty big and requires outside expertise, meaning technicians etc from western europe to train ukrainian personnel before it can start running. and there is the primary problem. Ukraine is a warzone and air strikes still happen. Russian Kinzhal missiles can strike the factory complex from belarus and you really cant intercept those missiles effectively. russia might not have many of them remaining, but in such a case they would spare 2-3

[@theacme3]

nice spotting. I guess rubberpads are worn down faster on roads than in mud. Guess they are shipped back and forth between danger zones. If Ukraine can achieve artillery parity by using these systems (Pzh, but also archer and cheasar) this war will be un-winnable for russia.

[@vincentkuipers9577]

The rubber pads are for preventing road damage when traveling over then. They're not strictly necessary. I saw them on tanks here in peace time and they left big black rubber marks after every turn. It's normal for these pads to wear off quickly.

[@armadspengler2717]

@@vincentkuipers9577 I know what the rubber pads are for. I was a tank driver on a Leo 2A4 in the 90s in Germany. The pads on the Leo tracks are the same. The rubber pads are not only to safe paved roads from damage but provide better traction on paved roads, especially when braking these steel monsters, moreover they also protect the metal parts of the tracks from extreme wear. In the condition shown, the pads can no longer simply be changed with a sledgehammer in the field to renew the tracks in the easiest way possible. The metal parts underneath will soon be so damaged which will make it necessary to replace the entire tracks. I hope the appropriate replacement tracks will be available then and the howitzer will make it to a maintenance base where they can be changed. One of the main advantages of the PzH 2000 is its high mobility, but if the rubber pads or the entire metal tracks below are ruined in such a way, the high degree of mobility will be gone.

[@noobster4779]

I love how "Panzerhaubitze" is used as the name but is just the weapon type designation in german. It literally means "armored/tank howitzer". And the 2000 is its "debut" date. So it just means "tank howitzer model 2000"... And why does it just have basically a factory designation? Becuase the german army coulndt agree on the name and somebody was just feed up and went "lets jsut keep the factory name" :D By the way one of the proposed names was: Butterfly /Schmetterling Maybe because the first part of the word "schmetter" sounds like "zerschmettern"/ shatter with full force and it would have been a nice world play :D

Traditionally german mobile howitzers were named after insects (e.g. Hummel (bumblebee), Wespe (wasp), ...). So Schmetterling makes sense in terms of that convention.

[@sindbad8411]

The word Haubitze originally came from the czech haufnicě during the Hussite war (1419 bis 1436) The German Haubitze has been used since 1700. I guess the English Howitzer is another "butchered" version of an original german term / name to suit the English tongue
