Ukraine’s desperate struggle to defend Kharkiv
It is holding off Russia’s attack — for now.
Russia Prioritizes Destruction of US and European Combat Vehicles Targeting Another Ukrainian PzH 2000 Howitzer. Russian Lancet drone has successfully damaged a German PzH 2000 artillery system incident, captured on video and posted on the social media on May 17, 2024, underscores priority of Russian forces to target & destroy modern military equipment received by Ukraine from European and US allies.
According to video, crew of PzH 2000 howitzer abandoned vehicle, appears not to have been completely destroyed could be an opportunity for troops to capture most modern German-made artillery system for first time. The attack of the German-made PzH 2000 artillery howitzer is not an isolated event but part of a strategic approach by Russian military. This approach specifically targets modern combat vehicles and equipment supplied to Ukraine by European countries and the US, with aim of neutralizing these advanced systems & shifting balance of power in conflict.
The PzH 2000, a state-of-the-art German self-propelled howitzer, offers significant advantages over older Soviet-made 2S1 & 2S3 artillery still in service with Ukrainian army. Compared to 2S1 & 2S3. PzH 2000 boasts a superior range, firing up to 40 kilometers with standard ammunition, even more with specialized rounds.
In contrast, 2S1 & 2S3 have maximum range of around 15 - 18 kilometers. The PzH 2000 features a much faster rate of fire, capable of delivering multiple rounds in rapid succession thanks to advanced autoloader. In contrast, 2S1 & 2S3 rely on slower, manual loading mechanisms.
The PzH 2000 also benefits from modern targeting systems & enhanced mobility, providing better accuracy, ability to quickly reposition on battlefield, thus offering a substantial upgrade in offensive and defensive capabilities for the Ukrainian forces.
