Lithuania to Repair Ukrainian PzH 2000 Self-Propelled Howitzers

Lithuania will be repairing Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“Lithuania is taking on a new mission – the PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers owned by Ukrainians will be repaired,” Arvydas Anušauskas, Minister of National Defense of Lithuania, announced this on Facebook Thursday.

Ukrainian forces have so far received more than 15 PzH 2000 howitzers from Germany.

The howitzers will likely be repaired at Lithuania Defense Services (LDS). A 12,000sqm maintenance and logistics center was created in June 2022 by Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann.

The enterprise is capable to service Boxer and PUMA armored vehicles, Bergepanzer armored repair and evacuation vehicles, various versions of Leopard-2 tanks, and 155-mm Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzers.
