Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour les modules ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
Ukraine: Donated by Germany and the Netherlands from June 2022; the German government's itemisation records fourteen delivered and further new-production guns pledged in 2024 for delivery over several years. Documented in combat since 2022. No current count recorded. · Germany and the eastern flank: The originating operator; the Bundeswehr's self-propelled howitzer, with an order for new PzH 2000A4 placed in 2024 to replace the guns given to Ukraine and first deliveries announced for late 2025. No holdings recorded. · Netherlands and the eastern flank: In service with the army's artillery; a donor of guns to Ukraine, and a party with Germany and Lithuania to the mid-life upgrade request. No holdings recorded. · Lithuania and the eastern flank: Used guns bought from Germany in 2015 as the army's first self-propelled artillery; a party to the mid-life upgrade request. No holdings recorded.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
In Ukraine, long-range precision and counter-battery fire from a tracked, armoured gun. On the flank, the self-propelled artillery of the German and Dutch brigades and of Lithuania's mechanised brigade, and the system through which the module's ammunition-production economy object reads the shell and barrel demand of a modern gun fired at wartime rates.
Points forts
A 52-calibre gun with an automatic loader and burst-fire capability, fully armoured, and accurate at long range with NATO precision rounds — the reason Ukrainian crews have publicly rated it among the best guns they have received.
Limites
Barrel and loader wear at wartime firing rates far above the design assumptions, which sent Ukrainian guns to repair in Lithuania and Poland and made spares the constraint; a heavy tracked vehicle demanding in maintenance; a production line that had closed and had to be restarted in 2024, so that replacement guns for Germany and Ukraine arrive over years. No holdings or unit assignments are recorded.
Identification visuelle
A large tracked hull with a big, angular turret set to the rear and a very long 155 mm barrel with a large muzzle brake, carried in a travel lock over the front; seven road wheels.
Emploi documenté dans les conflits
UKRAINE–RUSSIA. In documented Ukrainian service since June 2022, with employment in the counter-battery fight across the front and wear-related repair documented publicly by the German government and by Ukrainian crews; losses visually documented. The German itemisation of support and the 2024 pledge of new-production guns are the delivery record; totals circulating in reporting are not reproduced here. NATO EASTERN FLANK. The Bundeswehr's 2024 order for new PzH 2000A4, the Lithuanian guns bought in 2015, and the three-nation mid-life upgrade request to the manufacturer are the module's programme milestones. No holdings, bases or unit assignments are stated.
