Recently, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Ukraine will receive another 12 Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers. The first six units should be delivered within two months, Stern reports.
"I think six of them will be delivered within the next eight weeks," the publication quotes Boris Pistorius as saying.
It is noted that Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine has shown how important artillery is on the modern battlefield. The German minister noted that ground forces "are unlikely to be able to operate without effective and operational artillery."
