German heavy weapons deliveries to Ukraine

May 4, 2022 - Germany is considering sending seven PzH 2000 rapid-fire artillery systems to Ukraine. Last week, the government authorised the transfer of 50 Gepard anti-aircraft tanks.

German officials said on May 3 that Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht had proposed the transfer of the PzH 2000 – a self-propelled armoured howitzer with a range of 30km. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is considering Lambrecht’s proposal among other options, but has not yet granted final approval, according to Bloomberg.

The Netherlands is already sending the PzH 2000 to Ukraine, and Germany has offered to supply ammunition and training for the system.

Germany’s government announced on April 26 the transfer of 50 Gepard anti-aircraft tanks and signalled more weapons would flow to Kyiv, Bloomberg said.
