Panzerhaubitze 2000 - DEADLY GERMAN ARTILLERY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Development of the PzH 2000 (Panzerhaubitze) began in 1987. It evolved from the international SP70 programme, which was cancelled in 1980s due to funding problems. Prototype of the PzH 2000 was completed in 1993. Initially German Army planned to order a total of 1 254 new self-propelled howitzers, however in 1996 a contract was signed only for 185 artillery systems. First systems were delivered to the German Army in 1998. Export operators of the PzH 2000 are Croatia (12), Greece, Italy and the Netherlands. In 2013 Qatar ordered 24 of these howitzers.
The PzH 2000 is fitted with a 155-mm / L52 howitzer. Vehicle has a fully-automatic loading system with ammunition management system. The PzH 2000 is compatible with standard NATO 155-mm ammunition. Maximum range of fire is 30 km with standard HE-FRAG projectile and 40 km with rocket-assisted projectile. Maximum rate of fire is 9 rounds per minute. It is capable of Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) firing. A total of 60 rounds are stowed in a magazine.
Secondary armament consists of a roof-mounted 7.62-mm machine gun.
The PzH 2000 receives target data via datalink. The gun is automatically laid using the fire control data.
Front armor of the PzH 2000 provides protection against 14.5-mm rounds. All-round protection is against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. Explosive reactive armor can be fitted if necessary. The PzH 2000 is also fitted with automatic fire suppression and NBC protection systems.
The PzH 2000 has a crew of five, including commander, gunner, two loaders and driver. Target engagements can be carried out by a crew of two men. Loaders are employed only when autoloader fails.
Chassis of the PzH 2000 uses some components of the Leopard 2 main battle tank. Vehicle is powered by the MTU MT881 Ka-500 supercharged diesel engine, developing 1 000 hp. The PzH 2000 is also fitted with auxiliary power unit, powering all systems, when the main engine is turned off.
The PzH 2000 is reloaded by two operators. Projectiles are automatically picked up from the back of the vehicle and stowed in the autoloader's magazine. This self-propelled howitzer is replenished in less than 12 minutes.
Hope you enjoy!!

Your a legend Matt! Stay true to you man don't let any of your fake friends bring you down
Nah. His knowledge about tanks and military technology is medicore at best.
@@zepter00 ok armchair general.
@@zepter00 says the one who calls the Lynx a "heavily modified Marder" 🤣
Hecking lovely machine. Thanks for showing us these beautiful systems, Matt!
I saw one of those driving on a street next to me
Really impressive
I just want to let you know Matt you are a a legend like other people say I purely truly enjoy your content and keep up the good work man love it.
I'm so happy to see a deluge of Matsimus vids. Sorry, you are going through personal stuff though. Keep strong man. You are my favorite youtube military channel by far.
Hungary will also buy them, they are currently training in Croatia on them. Damn beast. Massive thing.
12 of those have now been through one month of most intensive combat use, reportedly firing up to 500 rounds per day per howitzer - many of them with the maximum propellant charge. In recent footage one howitzer was seen with completely worn down track pads, indicating it had moved several hundred kilometers on paved surface (given it arrived with new pads in Ukraine).
While there where reports about some of them requiring maintenance and repair after those weeks of heavy use, Ukrainians seem happy with them as they placed an order for 100 more with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann.
It's quite impressive that this beast is more than 25 years old, yet there is still no other tracked howitzer on the market nearly as capable. The only 155mm artillery system slightly better in key parameters is Archer - which has a slightly different operational profile.
When a Ho-ri sleeps with a Ferdinand
Best self propelled artillery piece.
Cheers!!
PhZ2000 was truly ahead of its time.
It was an unfortunate victim of changing times.
Still, its legacy will be carried to the next generations.
On PzH2000 can be used also the sub-caliber Leonardo OTO Vulcano 155 ammunition, development and tests of german and italian defence agreement. Operational tests were made for BER (ballistic extended range) and GLR (GPS long range) with GPS + IR or SAL (laser) guide sensors (made by Diehl). For BER range should be 40 - 50 km, for the GLR more than 70 km.
Italian army made in november 2021 an operational test on Vulcano GLR with PzH2000 in an exercise in Qatar.
Oooh! A new video for the PzH 2000.
Ooh, noice, the crew get MP7's for PDW's? I want! :D
Yes all fighting vehicles crew have an MP7 now. Before they used UZI's, except for Marder crews, they had G36.
German engineering at its finest!
Good golly Jebus, thank you so very much good sir. I do truly adore the product of your creation :))
wonder when they'll added into war thunder and make the game explode or the community rage
They already have other self propelled howitzers with 155mm guns in the game now, don't they? I haven't played it in many years, but I still occasionally watch PhlyDaily's videos.
I don't see what about the PzH2000 would make people rage. It is a good piece of equipment in reality, but in the context of the game, there is nothing about it that would make it OP.
@@TrangleC they aren't bad for war thunder, but they just shouldn't be added as many of them would never participate directly in combat only as support realistically speaking; And any feature that would make indirect fire possible in war thunder just sounds like a pain, it would either be too accurate or too shitty to be useful. And a direct fire howitzer isn't a howitzer its more like an assault gun so idk i just don't feel like they should add them
@@stardustcomet7527 As I said, there already are other self propelled howitzers in the game.
They don't do anything "artillery-ish" and no indirect fire with them, but as you said, treat them as if they were badly armored assault guns.
Pretty sure I saw Phly make a video with the Japanese one recently, where he tried shooting down aircraft with it, because the Japanese one gets some sort of anti air round with proximity fuse.
So that ship has already sailed.
@@TrangleC yeah I guess you right, but I still hate them
@@stardustcomet7527 Its ona leo 2 chassis and the crew gets trained for anti tank combat. So for once it would actually make sense
Awesome video. Found myself saying "There's counter-battery coming, guys! Get a move on!" 🙂
Thanks for creating such great content.
Another great video! Don’t let other people make you stop what you love.
happy holidays matt! and what a lovely gift for us germans you brought :)
ps. also can agree with a further below comment, I sometimes ran into convoys of these things on the autobahn ... quite a sight to see!
I love the PZH 2000, AS19 and the M109. SPAs are awesome
I'm sure that's the type of sound that reverberates in your chest cavity when standing near it. Hate to be the poor soldiers on the other end.
well you have to ask some talltubbies how it felt like...guess it was a lil bit of a surprise, having 155mm rounds of HX ...aka...F (..I..) U ...incoming:) and by the way...this puppy wakes you up ...no matter how tired you are
Thank you for bringing us such a wide variety of military equipment. I always smile when I get a notification for your channel knowing that I can look forward to your meticulously crafted and often offbeat presentations.
Happy and safe holidays to you and yours, sir!
That was bad ass, thanks for providing the video
Just yesterday i watched your other video about the PzH, funny you uploaded another one today
Saw these in Afghan. Disappointed we went with the Korean option, but any SPA is better than towed.
Why disappointed? So far K9 performs better in trials?
@@hishot1078 Yet another supply chain. More complicated logistic tail (I suspect it shares at least some RPS with Lynx - if we get that for Land 400 and perhaps with Boxer too).
@@whya2ndaccount Factory will be built in Australia and will be used for Redback as well if selected.
Btw, K9 was already selected long ago but was postponed due to Queensland flood. Germany didn't even submit offering proposal to begin with, and PzH 2000 requires more money to maintain simply because the factory no longer produced new batch.
@@hishot1078 Yes I know it was off the 2nd tender list. It was on the first one - way back when 8/12 didn't get an allocation of M777. I can still be disappointed that we didn't select it.
From a geostrategic angle the K9 probably is the better choice for Australia as it is in a way a regional development.
Then again if Australia wanted to align itself closer to Europe or the US it may still have been wiser to shop there…
The dutch defense has a video on UA-cam called Wolfpack about our phz2000 units
Brilliant clip matt keep them coming
It definitely wins the name contest
This channel will be awesome with Korean K2 and K9 upload.
One of the big boys 😎👍
Have to admire German SPH tactics after watching them at Dynamic Front 19. It's not just their PzH 2000.
Dirt is the best camouflage, it has the same color as the ground. 👍
*Thank you for posting all of your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!*
I'd like to see more of these.
Seeing any type of unit do their stuff.
The beauty in this System is the fire Control multi rounds simultanius Impact Up to 5 rounds from different positions 15 sec. departure. So counter battery fire is not any good. One better might onx be the same gun fully automated on a boxer chassis kmw rch 155 first shoot on the moove only drawback is the amunition storridge it is just half 30 rounds instand of 60 but you can shoot upto a speed of 30 miles.
And even if you mamanged to geta counte rbattery on target, anything short of a direct hit will meerly scratch the paint on the armour
Thanks Matt, Don't let the trolls get you down Mate 👍👍. Ps Australia has just ordered 30 K9 & 15 K10 ammo carrier from South Korea 🇦🇺
This order is what is making some people think the redback has won the a IFV competition as well. The redback and the K9 use the same powerpacks and transmissions and they are interchangable
I love how it looks like the Ferdinand tank destroyer from ww2
...but it is a total different weapon. It hits targets in over 30 Km distance. It is not a tank destoyer.
@@hartmutwrith3134 i know, it just reminded me of it seeing the shape when it's driving around with the barrel down
But the crews get trained to defend themselfs on close distance with the gun, just like a normal tank would
What the Crusader would have been.
Crusader was better system F Rumsfeld
Wasn't it too heavy to air transport?
@@Marinealver Too expensive. It was about $22 million a unit. But, it was more advanced than the PzH 2000. However, you could get about (4) PzH 2000 for the price of one Crusader
Cool muzzle brake!
No way I watched the old video yesterday!!
Recently arrived in Ukraine from the Netherlands
Das Fahrgestell ist das selbe wie beim Leopard. Dadurch ist es obwohl es eine Haubitze, ist auch im direkten Kampf gegen Panzer zu gebrauchen. Schwer gepanzert, mobil und hohe Reichweite
I went from M109 A2/A3 to this monster.. what is change it was.
I think you mean "change" not "chance".
So, firstly, I’m a small arms guy, as an MP the most I might get is an M2 or Mk19. So the first thing I noticed was the MG42….errr…I mean…MG3. Awesome to see Mustache Dude’s Buzz Saw still kicking it 76yrs later. Next is that those MG3’s were set up the old way with aircraft sights. But I’m afraid that if you’re using a 308, even one with such a high cyclical rate, for anti aircraft duties against modern aircraft your wishful thinking. The 3rd thing is that they are actually issuing a PDW to the people that were supposed to get them when the concept was devised. Also kinda interesting that like like it’s bigger brother, the MP7 is also a bit of a buzz saw.
Last, even though I was an MP I spent my entire career with rare exceptions on an artillery base. So seeing how quickly that German gun system went through its load cycle and how fast it traversed and elevated after the reload was very impressive! I’ve watched older generations of the M109 not get anything close to that speed for down and up! I know the auto loader has something to do with why it has to T&E so quickly to get ToT, but dang that was pretty. Reminds me of watching an old M270 MLRS taking a minute or more each to go over and up vs. the newest version that took 2-3 seconds to slew to a target. Very impressive.
I am going to assume you meant the MG5 not the MP7 as the big Brother of the MG3...right?
You see im powerful but this word *"Haubitze"* it scares me
Lol! Stop bullying Matt!
Lol bully away I haven't a care for the world haha!
3:45 Sir, why are you using a tablet to take pictures and in portrait mode?
We will not only wear them out physically but mentally as well
The Beasts of Tarin Kowt.
Very impressive. The USA should look into this.
The MP7 is a great Easter egg to see.
Unfortunately just blanks, love to see live fire
Holy shit. Now I know why you got tilted by “where next video” harassment, you had so many coming this winter!
3:49 What kind of tips do they have on those bullets? Looks like a .....cross point?
They are Blanks, there are no projectiles on These bullets
@@YY-fh3mr Oh.....thanks.
@@rael5469 no problem😊 are u currently serving in the forces?
@@YY-fh3mr No sir. I served 40 years ago.
just curious
what would happen if an artillery gun like this attack a tank head on?
would that even be a wise move?
would it destroy the tank?
could this be used in the role of a tank destroyer?
Really good question... I'd think that with the right ammo you could at minimum bust welds and cause some spall. Would that do more than piss off the MBT crew, I don't know.
All the self propelled, I have been wondering the same thing!
There is a video of the Bundeswehr channel shooting at an old leopard 1 in direct fire, but thats more like shooting at an IFV armorwise.
Still the HE I think completely rips it apart
@@V-V1875-h There's a video of a direct fire test on a tank and it basically split it into two pieces. Search PZH2000 direct fire test.
@@foods3019 ua-cam.com/video/lBQe7Ahod34/v-deo.html
I meant this one, from their official YT
This thing just looks German. It's got a long barreled gun and the body is very streamlined almost which is something that other nations SPG's tend to lack.
So is the AS-90
Awesome 👍🏻
Finnish officers at 03:40, I guess this was from the time when a new tracker artillery system was sought after. In the end the South-Korean K9 thunder was chosen over the PZH 2000
K9 performed better in trial.
@@hishot1078 same in the australian trial K9 won over the PZH2000, that was back in 2009 dunno if there was any major upgrades on either but when they decided to buy some SPGs they used the old results
In theory, who would be on the other end of a German artillery barrage? I'm losing track of who is adversary to whom, these days.
man it's just fun. big boys playing with their toys
China
No one, as the German parliament would not clear any use of the artillery pieces or any other Bundeswehr assets. Even more so with the new government that got elected this year.
@@Schnittertm1 You lost me Schnittertm. What does all that mean?
@@rael5469 It was a bit tounge in cheek, a joke, on how the German Bundestag and Bundesrat, the two main governmental bodies, would have to approve use of any and all equipment and missions the Bundeswehr undertakes. There is a reason why, for example, when all other nations had their MBT and IFV in use in Afghanistan, Germany didn't, as the government thought that too much military equipment would be a bad look, especially when bad things happen. This led to Germany having to call on allies (i.e. the US) in many instances, one being that the Bundeswehr didn't even have enough helicopters for MEDEVAC.
That is what you get when your government sends your military, not to stabilize, but to build schools and drill water wells.
Hi just asking but has anyone heard of a game called sprocket if not I would highly recommend watching and giving it a look, it’s a game where you can build your own tank and unlike most tank building games your tank is completely customizable such as building an abrams, challenger2, Churchill, tiger and even some random things and whatever you want, the tank also has a customizable armor layout so you can have either thin or thick side armor or have a 200mm rear armor and 5mm frontal armor
man this thing fucks.
wait this video was longer or?
Dope!
No you cant just shoot 6 rounds that hit at the same time within 50 meters of each other.
HAHA Panzerhaubitze 2000 goes boom boom boom boom boom boom
Do enclosed artillery pieces like that have a safety switch that would be activated by the loader's butt?.....to make doubly dam sure he is out of the way of the recoil?
The PZH 2000 loads semi automatically, the shells are stored in a rotary magazine in the bottom rear of the vehicle. The loader only inserts a powder charge into the barrel. The PZH 2000 also has a turret basket, so the loader is to the side of the gun at all times. (Unless the gun is fired by the long line of course)
So technically the loader should never be in the way of the guns recoil.
@@Bitt3rh0lz Thanks !
They look like modern versions of the Maus.
Not seeing any flash or enough recoil or smoke exiting, so they're shooting what I call high-powered training blanks.

Comment for statistics
Yay! This piece of great German engineering is (IMHO - I am not biased or anything as a German ^^) probably the best SPAG available ATM :) - hell even the US thought about adopting it, but they didn't in the end (too expensive, with all the other stuff they buying! Not to mention that you don't need artillery against terrorists, drones and CAS helicopters suffice here!)
ps: If used for direct fire the Leopard 2 Tank is envious of its gun :D ^^
We need this in war thunder
Here we go again: Why is the driver on the right/wrong side?
Gaijin pls.
I wonder how they practise. Germany is quite densely populated. Thus, having a military zone that is large enough to fire and hit without shooting 155mm HE above civilians is next to impossible...
There are a few training areas that are big enough.
It has happened once though in the late 90s that a American self propelled howitzer crew fucked up during exercises and fired in the wrong direction and hit the roof of a elementary school. Luckily the round was either a inert training projectile or a dud. The news article didn't specify that. They just said it didn't explode.
Well there are number of areas, what happens artillery shoots from the outside in.
Artillery Traning Range Munster of the Truppenschule Munster in Lower Saxony for example.
Its a long 2 part range, where the firing position is in one training range and the target zone is in another training range.
On leased out traning areas like Grafenwöhr in Bavaria, US Forces train artillery firing etc.
there are about 30 differend small to very large Truppenübungsplätze in Germany, from small test ranges like Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 91 Meppen where missile and projectiles are tested to the full blown high tech digitalised Gefechtsübungszentrum (Combat Training Center) in Altmark, where NATO Partners like US, UK, France etc come to train simulated combat with AGDUS (Lasertag upgrades for every soldier and weapon, that trigger when firing blanks, including MBT´s etc), because it is more or less the only Traning Centre in the NATO that is doing this.
@@TrangleC I've heard from a Swiss soldier that at his range, they shot at an angle to the long range and the shells went out of bounds. It was a sparsely populated valley, but the irony was that in the woods where the shells hit, they hit the hunting cabin of a general, who was stationed at the same base!
Even scarier, another troop tried to lock on a drone, but targeted a passenger plane instead and when they found out, they got their ears full...
edi, we are not that densed. No worries.
Having all these state of the art weapons systems is nice. How much are those deployed for combat conditions ? When’s the last time any modern European Nation deployed against a near peer adversary.
They were in afghanistan with this artillery. That is what you mean, right?
@@HedgehogZone He is talking about "near peer", which means fighting another real army.
Pretty much WW2, you may consider Yugoslavia
Since near peer wars have become extremely rare, almost no army, not even the US Army or the Russian one, really have much experience with that. The closest the Russians came was the Georgian War a while back and that revealed many, many problems with Russian equipment and training, which is why they started huge modernization programs afterwards.
In the end it is always speculation what you have to prepare for in the next real war.
That is why there is this saying: "Armies always prepare for the last war, not for the next one." because experience with previous wars and educated guesses about how the next war might look like, are all they have.
The same can be said though about armies who did fight successfully in big, real wars. They too didn't know for sure whether their doctrines, methods and equipment would work before the war started.
Take a guess bud before asking dumb questions

The Netherlands is sending these to Ukraine
If Germany says 'yes'.
@@MasterVertex It did and Germany is also sending some aswell as training ukrainians on them in Germany
PZH2000 can only fire special German made 155mm rounds with weaker charge to fire more rounds per minute and they are not compatible with NATO 155mm which damaged barrels during Ukraine war. What that means is that the US and S Korean made 155mm NATO rounds can't be used in PZH2000 thus client states have to rely on German 155mm round made for PZH2000 only. Ukraine fired 5,000 artillery a day compared to 50,000 rounds fired by Russian army thus not using compatible NATO 155mm will suffer with ammunition shortage during the war.

1st comment MAT
Second
The problem is that Germany is a very weak nation, Poland could crush them. It is a political issue but youtube would censor it.
germany should be weak
Actually Germany has the stronger millitary compared to Poland due to it being equiped with the best weaponary available making up for it's, in relation to the german economy, small size
They don't have to be strong. The most likely conflict coming up in the near future is going to be the Germans providing money and equipment to Poland to defend them against Russia.
Where do you get that idea? Germany just isn't as invested in war as it has has many allies and secure borders, however, if needed, Germany, with the size of its economy and population could quickly rearm itself. The idea of Poland attacking Germany let alone being able to defeat it is a hilarious notion
@@noaoah3662 Sorry you aren't wrong about the economy and fast rearnament, but since Poland has the upper hand at the moment, and considering Berlin is rather close, if it theoretically happened a war between the two the Polish army could defeat Germany faster than its economy coul produce, if they attacked out of nowhere Germany wouldnt simply have the time to rearm as fast as you say.
It certainly was a great weapon in it's time, but compared to newer weapon systems like the Russian 2S35 "Koalitsiya" it is old technology.
The 2S35 reportedly has a rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute, which is very high for a gun of it's caliber, and a maximum range of 60 km.
The Russians don't get enough credit for their engineering. Russian tanks and artillery were superior to German panzers and artillery in second world war, the same is true today.
Your comparing a 2000's effective paper system to a russian prototype paper system?
Lol What meds u are on brah ?
Actually, the real best all-around tank of WWII was the Sherman--better platform than the T-34 (yes, some of this was better quality armor and projectiles, but also much better ergonomics, reliability, everything else).
@@brianpatrick6308 im pretty sure the t-34 base model/ variants performed and killed far more german tanks then the Sherman's ever did. Would make sense as 75% of all casualties came from the eastern front. Later sherman variants got better in 1945, by then the war was long overdue and already lost for a long time. Western allies still deserve 50% credit as the Soviets would have needed another half/ full year if the allies didn't invade Normandy in 44.
Didnt the germans had a 9 to 1 kill death ratio against the russians?
You have posted a lot of nato army artillery videos. But fact is, these countries have so few batteries of them that they are really no importance at all. The other factor is most of these military are paper armies that won't go to the fight when they are called upon. If russia just obliterates the ukranian army in 2022 and is reaching western Ukraine in record time, I highly doubt Germany will send its main deployable divsion to Poland for deterrence.
Ukraine is not part of nato! Germany is in no opligation of sending their army!
@@HedgehogZone no ukraine is not part of nato and never should be. As an American I see nato a weak organization with no 21st century importance. where America is the only member with power that is willing/ capable of standing up to a neer peer. No one else in the "alliance" other then poland is willing to stand up and maintain nato's strategic boundary. As nearly half slav my self, I say let the eastern slavs fight/ kill each over ukraine as it has little value. I like the idea of America defending western Europe, but at the end of the day for average middle class working Americans, what value does it give to us for defending western Europe from the Russians when they were able to protect themselves for centuries before America even became a thought.
You are an American? Are you sure? You sound like a Russian nationalist with a hard on for the Russian army.
@@smokeypuppy417 Well the Bundeswehr is per definition only allowed to defend Germanys Soil.
But IF Russia would invade Ukraine, you can bet your ass on it, that germanys 2 Armored Divisions would deploy in force to the polish eastern Border together with its supporting units and the Jäger Battalions.
It has been made clear, that Russia will 1. face harsh economic and political sanctions and 2. stationing of NATO troops en masse in Poland will happen to protect the NATO´s eastern flank, if Russia does continue with its agression.
@@TrangleC nothing i said in the reply suggested I was a russian putin loving near bot. I said let ukraine/ russia fight it out, and America gains little front defending Europe. I agree with trumps statements that nato takes America for granted and doesn't pay their fair share. America gains little from protecting Europe other then maintaining the rank of being the world sole remaining superpower with global military projection. I think odds are russia won't invade Ukraine but its not too early to say that it won't happen. Ukraine isn't worth anything. Its the 57th largest economy just ahead of algeria and below hungary in regards. If it comes down to it, let the eastern slavs fight it out. If russia crosses the Dnieper river and heads for western Ukraine, then nato should be very alarmed as poland, the batlic states, Romania, and hungary, and Slovakia could be on the new militarized border zones where nato will have to patrol for the next years or decade until drawdown is agreed on both sides. Its looking very certain now that the borders will go back to the cold war era of being fortified, maned, and manned by many brigades on both sides with tactical nuclear weapons on stand by in the theater once again.
