The Panzerhaubitze appears to be a fantastic howitzer, but in practice…. it's hard to fight with it effectively, as it's plagued by constant failures. Reliability is not a parameter that can be easily printed on an advertising flyer, like… firing range, for example.
WB Electronics Topaz is more than artillery calculator. It’s literally Uber but for guns. In order to request fire support all that a soldier has to do is press a button on his own Topaz terminal. And the gunners will recieve the fire mission on their terminal.
range 40 km target +- 2 m show me better
tooday its best weapon this type of the world Krab made in Poland
Correction: The K-9 is not from Samsung. Hanwha acquired the company, specifically Samsung Techwin, in 2014. Hanwha is now manufacturing the AS-21 Redback IFV, K-239 Chunmoo MLRS, AESA radar for KF-21 Boramae, etc as well as K-9 Thunder SPG 2:22
Да да отличная артиллерия, особенно красиво их Ланцеты уничтожают, штук 20 уже не меньше на видео кадрах)
May good bless Poland for this great help, slava Ukrainie!!
Napoleon also said that he would rather have 30 Poles with him in the war than 300 other soldiers… why? Because we do not ask for freedom, we always fight for it. look : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SpddNW7a3k
Polish howitzers can fire up to 5,000 shells without repairing the barrel, other howitzers can fire up to 2,000 shells. Proven on the battlefield.
2:34 on picture is mistake … its say AS-90 BraveHEAT
Thx
18 Krabs? That's only the official number. It's closer to 90 now 😀
Good, anti-russian weapon.
Great pronunciation! Pozdrawiam! 🙂
In fact, there are over Polish 50 Krabs in Ukraine. But officially the number is 18.
You forgot to mention that – according to Ukrainian soldiers at least – AHS Krab can fire a few thousand rounds and still be operational while vaunted PzH 2000 can fire only a few hundred rounds before it needs to have its barrel replaced.
Poland repeatedly failed to develop a self-propelled howitzer body for 20 years and asked Hanwha Defense, a S.Korea company, to perfectly combine the K9-based body with a British-made turret, and finally the Krab was born.However, since parts from many countries are imported and assembled, the price is high and productivity is reduced.
Nice work Ukraine -making a 50km shot from a 40km rated barrel! I'm assuming you poured some vodka on the shell before firing? I wish you good hunting!
On 15.02.2023 Polish government announced a subsidy to HSW of USD 400 million, for increasing its production capacity. So, I hope Russians like 155mm shells served by Krab.
Actually, you're mistaken. We (Poland) gave Ukraine 18 Krab howitzers as a gift and sold and deliver 54 at the exact moment before we even saw the money. Usually country has to wait for such a great order for about 3 years to have the weapon produced and delivered. Poland sent the howitzer taken not even from the army storage but from the regular artillery units. 72 Krab's been fighting in Ukraine for a few months already. Who helps fast helps twice.
2:47 That's the caption of the former chasis of the KRAB, and it's biggest weaknes – complete lack of stability. UPG (thats what it's called) was still adopted as a command and ammunition vehicle.
18??… 76 and we'll be more
The Polish Krab armored self propelled howitzer is a hybrid of foreign licences: Korean K9 chassis, British turret, French gun and Polush gun control electronics.
Well, Ukrfaine got 70 Krabs months ago, beside that 80 akacja units were delivered. Nobody talks about that, since its not broadcasted in news. Polish military experts already confirmed those numbers. 70 working Krabs are much better than 6/12 working Pz2000, simple
2:07 Hey! You actually did a pretty good job reading in polish.
ukrainian military said krabs are very very good
The Krabs also have a Canadian made hot water dispenser. For coffee/tea/soup and clean up. A real plus in winter conditions!
"Polish howitzer Krab is BETTER than* you think!"
than, not then
Actually Poland gave Ukraine over 52 Krabs. It was sources from internet cameras over railways. And it main advantage besides the mentioned above is the Topaz system. All of them are connected and managed by it, allowing for unprecedented control
AHS Krab is the best artilery piece for Ukraine. Only Pzh 2000 is better but only on paper. In reality they break down very quickly and around 1/3 of them if not more are in constant repair and out of action.
It's both funny and exciting for me to hear about the HSW Krab on english YT channel, because Krabs are made in my home city Stalowa Wola, Poland, which is rather small and has only ~60k inhabitants. Actually the whole city is based on military industry, and it even have been founded just 1 year before WW2 in 1938 mainly to produce military stuff.
The crab's phenomenon is its guidance system. Each crab is equipped with a drone. After connecting the guidance systems, the drone controls the crab where to drive to shoot!!!!
your english is very good
