A recording of the impact of a FPV drone controlled by fiber optic against a German Obús Panzerhaubitze 2000, also known as PZH 2000, used in the war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine, has begun to circulate on the Internet. This has caused euphoria in the Russian channels of Telegram.
The Russians, as published by the media they have celebrated the destruction of this howitzer “as if they had invaded Berlin.” In the widespread video you can see the drone impacting the back of the turret, where highly flammable gunpowder loads are found.
However, if the crew was inside the PZH 2000, it is probably safe, because the ammunition warehouse of this canyon-so is isolated from the crew by a armored screen that opens only for a moment to launch a projectile or a load of gunpowder, according to the same medium. At the end of the images you can see a characteristic white smoke.
Despite this, the Canon-Obús will be out of service due to the need to carry out a general review. This would be the first or perhaps second loss, counting the abandoned copy of May 2024, of this type of weapon by Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion ordered by the Russian Rpesidente, Vladimir Putin, in February 2022.
Ukraine received 27 Obuses-Cañones PZH-200000, which were supplied by Germany, the Netherlands and Italy. This 155 mm caliber self -propelled artillery piece has a range of 30 kilometers and is characterized by excellent crew protection and excellent combat capabilities.
However, it highlights the same medium, they are also the most complicated machines, which require much more care and are less capable of supporting war hardships than, for example, the least advanced “Polish crabs”. These also allow you to achieve objectives with a similar effect and it is much less likely to move away from the front line to perform repairs.
