German-Built Howitzers Pound Russian Targets In Ukraine

We joined a Ukrainian Army crew manning a German Panzerhaubitze 2000, a self-propelled, long-range howitzer, as it opened fire on Russian positions. After firing a salvo, the crew hid the weapon system among trees and broken branches. They said Russian drones were hunting the highly effective howitzers, which had forced Russian artillery to pull back to positions farther from the front line.
