Historical description and usage

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) is a 155 mm caliber German self-propelled howitzer. It was developed by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall Landsysteme, and entered service with the Bundeswehr at the beginning of the 21st century, during the modern era, from 1998. Besides Germany, this system has also been adopted by the armed forces of Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Lithuania, Croatia, and several other countries. The PzH 2000 howitzer has been widely used operationally – including during the ISAF mission in Afghanistan, where it demonstrated high effectiveness, firing precision, and reliability in challenging combat conditions.
