Croatia seeks PzH 2000 purchase

Croatia's plans to purchase PzH 2000 155 mm tracked self-propelled artillery systems received a substantial boost on 14 July when the Defence Committee of the Croatian Parliament moved to support their acquisition.

Although this committee deliberated in a closed session, media reported that Croatia is interested in purchasing 12 PzH 2000s. The second-hand systems are about a decade old and valued in the region of EUR41 million (USD55.4 million) in total. This sum is set to be financed between 2014 and 2018, which corresponds to the official timeframe stated beforehand by the Croatian Ministry of Defence (MoD).

This comes after Croatian Minister of Defence Ante Kotromanovic stated on 10 July, that the PzH 2000 was crucial for the fulfilment of an artillery related NATO capability goal, one of a total of 42 that Croatia agreed to in 2013.

PzH 2000 für Kroatien

Nach der Genehmigung durch das kroatische Parlament werden die Mitte 2013 begonnenen Verhandlungen zur Beschaffung von zwölf Panzerhaubitzen PzH 2000 aus Beständen der Bundeswehr fortgeführt. Im Zeitraum 2014 bis 2018 will Kroatien die Überlassung mit rund 41 Mio. Euro finanzieren. In Kroatien sollen die veralteten 122-mm-Haubitzen 2S1 Gvozdika ersetzt werden und damit ein 2013 vereinbartes NATO Capability Goal erfüllt werden. Mit der Neuorientierung der Bundeswehr hat das Heer die Anzahl der ursprünglich 148 PzH 2000 auf 81 reduziert. Die überschüssigen Haubitzen stehen zum Verkauf.

Kroatien ist seit 2009 Mitglied der NATO. Damit ist der Export von Kriegswaffen und sonstigen Rüstungsgütern grundsätzlich nicht beschränkt. (gwh)

PzH 2000 Howitzers for the Croatian Armed Forces presented

With the PzH as the currently most advanced artillery weapon in our inventory the Croatian Armed Forces will have one among the best equipped artilleries in NATO and in the world. The range depends on the ammunition – with the standard HE-FRAG projectile it equals 30 kilometres and 40 km with rocket-assisted projectile. The newest extended range projectiles have been launched that enable targeting at even 80 kilometres“ said Colonel Pavičić.

“The use of the howitzers will be incorporated in the doctrine of the Army and of the Armed Forces, as well as the doctrine of the use of the artillery, where we opt for the integrated combat doctrine that entails the integration of the sensors into a unified fire control system, which is why we are modernising our forces. I hope that the Howitzers will fully enter the operational use by late 2016 or early 2017“ stated General Lovrić.

The Croatian Armed Forces expect the delivery of a total of six Howitzers, and the remaining six by the end of 2016.

Prve dvije haubice PzH2000 stigle u Hrvatsku

The first two howitzers PzH2000 arrived in Croatia

Prve dvije samohodne haubice PzH2000, od ukupno 16 koje je Ministarstvo obrane RH nabavilo od Ministarstva obrane Savezne Republike Njemačke dopremljene su danas, u petak 7. travnja 2017. u Hrvatsku.

Riječ je o jednoj operativnoj haubici koja će biti smještena na Vojnom poligonu „E. Kvaternik“ Slunj i jednoj haubici za obuku koja će se koristiti na vojnom poligonu Cerovec. Sukladno ugovorenoj dinamici isporuke dolazak ostalih haubica u Hrvatsku planiran je do kraja 2017. godine.

The first two self-propelled howitzers PzH2000, from a total of 16 purchased by the Ministry of Defense from the Ministry of Defense of the Federal Republic of Germany, were delivered today, Friday, 7 April 2017, to Croatia.

One operational howitzer will be placed on the military training area "E. Kvaternik" Slunj and one howitzer will be used for training on the military training area Cerovec. In accordance with the agreed schedule of delivery the arrival of the other howitzers to Croatia is planned by the end of 2017.

Croatia presents its first two PzH 2000s

The two SPHs are the first batch of a total of 16 PzH 2000s procured, the rest of which will arrive by the end of the year. Twelve of the systems are to be fully operational, one is a driver-trainer (which was one of the first two delivered), and three will be used as a source of spares.

The Croatian PzH 2000 modifications centred on the communication suite, data management software, and fire control system, which were modified to Croatian military standards and translated into Croatian. The overall cost of the procurement value has risen considerably since the systems were first purchased in 2014, from around HRK300 million (USD43 million) to HRK352.5 million by the end of 2016 and now to around HRK444 million. While the first increase was explained by the cost of a 2015 contract with NSPA for maintenance and modification to Croatian standards as well as a fire-control upgrade, the recent hike in costs was allegedly due to the additional procurement and installation of the communications equipment.

The training of Croatian crews and technicians has been ongoing for almost two years, making the Croatian armed forces capable of putting all 12 weapons into active service as soon as they arrive in Croatia. The first live-fire exercises with the systems are expected during the second half of this year, although more time will be required for the full integration of the PzH 2000s with Croatia's new observation systems: 16 OH-58D helicopters recently donated by the United States and a yet-to-be-procured unmanned aerial vehicle system.

GODIŠNJE IZVJEŠĆE O OBRANI ZA 2016. GODINU

Zagreb, svibanj 2017.

ANNUAL REPORT ON DEFENSE FOR THE YEAR 2016

Zagreb, May 2017.

Haubice – PzH2000

Tijekom 2016. godine nastavljena je provedba projekta PzH 2000 kroz sudjelovanje u programu „PzH2000“ NATO agencije za potporu i nabavu (NATO Support and Procurement Agency, NSPA) na temelju ugovora između agencije NSPA i proizvođača „Krauss-Maffei Wegmann“ o servisu, modifikaciji i prilagodbi haubica te izgradnji sustava za upravljanje paljbom potpisanog potkraj 2015. godine.

Za provedbu ovoga projekta Ministarstvo obrane nabavilo je svu potrebnu komunikacijsku opremu, vozila i drugu opremu, čime su stvoreni uvjeti za nesmetanu provedbu ostalih aktivnosti i radnji u procesu servisiranja, modifikacije, prilagodbe haubica te izgradnje sustava za upravljanje vatrom.

Osiguran je neprekidan i pouzdan lanac opskrbe za održavanje navedenih oružnih sustava, odnosno stvoreni su uvjeti za osiguranje funkcije njihova održavanja u zahtijevanoj razini operativne spremnosti i raspoloživosti nakon njihove predaje na uporabu u Oružane snage. Uvođenje u operativnu uporabu i puna operativna spremnost 12 samohodnih haubica PzH 2000, 155 mm s integriranim sustavom za upravljanje paljbom te s razvijenom infrastrukturom za održavanje očekuje se 2018. godine. Tijekom 2016. godine u ovaj projekt uloženo je 59,5 milijuna kuna te je od početka projekta ukupno uloženo 160 milijuna kuna.

Howitzer - PzH2000

In 2016 the implementation of the PzH 2000 project continued through the participation in NATO's Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) program "PZH2000" under the contract signed at the end of 2015 between NSPA and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann on service, modification and adaptation of the howitzer and the building of a fire control system.

For the implementation of this project, the Ministry of Defense has acquired all the necessary communication equipment, vehicles and other equipment, thus creating the conditions for uninterrupted implementation of other activities and actions in the process of servicing, modifying, adjusting the howitzers and building a fire control system.

There is a steady and reliable supply chain for the maintenance of these armed systems, and conditions have been created to ensure their maintenance function at the required level of operational readiness and availability after their submission to the Armed Forces. The introduction into operational use and the full operational readiness of 12 self-propelled howitzers, PzH 2000, 155 mm with an integrated fire control system and developed maintenance infrastructure, is expected in 2018. During the year 2016, HRK 59.5 million have been invested in this project and since the beginning of the project, a total of HRK 160 million has been invested.
