Germany and the Netherlands will provide Ukraine with six more Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled artillery units.
This was announced in Madrid by German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht and her Dutch counterpart kaise Ollongren, the Censor informs.No with a link to DW.
"In Germany, we decided that we could give Ukraine three more Panzerhaubitze 2000s. Together with the Netherlands, it will be six," Lambrecht said.
If they say what they need, we do everything possible to provide it. And in this case, Germany and the Netherlands were able to do just that," Ollongren said.
At the same time, Lambrecht said that now Germany has exhausted all its opportunities to provide Ukraine with the Panzerhaubitze 2000: "thus, I have reached the absolute limit of what is responsible. But this is responsible, because Ukraine now needs to be supported."
Earlier, both countries sent 12 such self - propelled guns to Ukraine: Germany - seven and the Netherlands-five. The Ukrainian military trained in Germany in May. Source: https://censor.net/ua/n3350884
Good luck getting them to the Russian front without Russia destroying them first. Not to mention that a mere 6 more artillery units aren’t going to make any difference in the outcome anyway.
How much is a used one? Asking for a friend. /smirk
Since the train system has been bombed, I wonder how these large vehicles can be transported. You can’t drive a tracked vehicle across country, and these are hard to hide.
How much is one worth as scrap? Asking for a friend. /smirk
Not to mention that a mere 6 more artillery units aren’t going to make any difference in the outcome anyway.
If 6 more units are provided every few hours, they may delay the outcome.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian 10th Mountain Brigade is redeploying .. oops ...

> I wonder how these large vehicles can be transported.
Tank Transporter. Those are like a very large semi-truck with a modified flat bed trailer.
Given the sorry condition and small number of EU military units, wonder if this is 100% of the workable pieces they would muster.
The French Resistance drained the axles of the train cars that were going to haul the 2nd SS Armored Division Das Reich to Normandy, and replaced the lubricant with abrasive powder.
The Germans had to drive the armored column on the roads, with many many breakdowns, arriving too late to affect the battle.
Looks like we're going to have a minor repeat here, only these will be "massaged" with missiles and whatnot...
Correct. These are moved by rail or special trucks. At best they will take weeks to get there and deployed. The Uke gunners will have to be trained.
Interesting question, I wonder which Russian will ‘step-up’ to be a masseuse! LOL
They blowed up real guud.
Sweet news. Hope these weapons get to kill a lot of Russians.
A T-72 is only worth $200k.

They keep poking the bear as the super wealthy arms merchants wink and nod.
You sound just like that woman that testified at the Jan6 circus today.
Well the Ukrainians already got the previous ones to the front okay.
German Panzerhaubitze in the eastern Ukraine.
Written on the front "Welcome to Ukraine B__ch."
And you sound like a Bolshevik stooge. Take your freedom-hating self back to DU.
