Germany: The Ukrainian Army is "too hard"

According to the German Mirror Weekly website reported on the 29th, Germany's self -propelled howitzer has shown signs of wear in Ukraine.

It is reported that Germany delivered 7 PZH2000 self -propelled howitzers to Ukraine at the end of June. The Ukrainian government notified the German Ministry of Defense in the middle of the week. Several of the self -propelled howitzers showed errors after the Russian position was carried out densely, so it was necessary to repair it.

According to reports, the German Federal Defense Force believes that the problem is related to the high frequency of the Ukrainian army's launching artillery shells, resulting in great pressure on the loading system of the howitzer. In Germany, 100 artillery shells fired a day were considered to be high -intensity, but the Ukrainians obviously fired more artillery shells.

The report pointed out that the German Federal Defense Force agreed to help solve the problem. At the same time, the German government is building a maintenance center in Poland to negotiate with national defense industrial enterprises in order to make necessary maintenance of the delivery weapons faster.

In addition, the report also said that the ammunition supplies of the five "cheetah" air defense tanks recently provided to Ukraine also had new problems. During the German test, the tank's shooting system cannot identify the ammunition of Norwegian manufacturers. Now it is necessary to improve the shells, and the improved artillery shells should be tested again in August.
