The Bundeswehr has begun testing a new self-propelled artillery system, the RCH-155 [Remotely Controlled Howitzer – ed.], Ukraine will be the first country to order them.
As Welt news agency reports, the 155-mm system is similar to the Panzerhaubitze 2000, but is constructed on a Boxer wheeled vehicle. Germany, together with the Netherlands, has supplied 14 units of Panzerhaubitze to Ukraine. The next generation of howitzers for the Bundeswehr is now being procured.
The RCH-155 wheeled howitzer, developed by arms industry company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), has unique capabilities because it does not need to stop to fire its shells. This has huge advantages, as it makes it difficult to detect and combat.
