by this is the pc2000 a German Howitzer that is unsurprisingly over engineered we'll take a look at the autoloader again in more detail as well as its full Firepower capability but first let's look at its Mobility it uses a Wegman chassis with many components shared with the leopard 2 tank it's a tracked system that can hit 70 km an hour to a range of 420 km it achieves that with a 990 horsepower power engine and utilizes a portion bar suspension as for moving its shells around it has a few [Music] tricks logistically it gets some help from one of its friends [Applause] in this case an m992 field artillery and munition Supply vehicle built on the frame of an m19 in terms of its autoloader it's quite a feet of engineering [Music] taking a look at the full process again its rounds are loaded through the back across a swinging mechanism which brings the shell into the internal magazine this magazine can store 60 rounds of different types using a loading arm to sort the shells in one of 15 columns a shell can be selected and brought out through a feeding tray into the cabin where it is automatically inserted into the fridge manual additions of propellent to necessary and you're all ready [Music] [Music] [Applause] as for its Firepower capability it uses a 155 mm Rin metal Barrel it hits an impressive 6sec firing rate to a standard range of 30 km or an extended range with wrap rounds to 54 km but if you want more accuracy you can load in an xcaliber and hit out to 48 km guided [Applause] as secondary Armament it features a Rin metal mg3 machine gun it's accessed through a hatch at the top of the howitzer as with many German military products it's a popular export so who's buying Italy is purchased 64 the Netherlands 49 Qatar 24 Hungary 23 and of course Ukraine with 28 but as a donation so genius engineering or maintenance hell let us know what you think in the comments and if you like our long form content make sure to hit the like like and the bell to ensure YouTube knows to show you more
