The Krab is a successful construction. The K9 chassis performs better than the manufacturer predicted. The Ukrainians show that it moves efficiently on soft ground. The Poles produce the barrels themselves, which should normally withstand 1000 shots and the replacement of the gun. Some Krabs have fired thousands of times and continue to shoot.

@@MrQ454 As I wrote in my earlier comment, the Armato-howitzer is a part of DMO Regina. It doesn't matter what kind of howitzer it is, as long as it is integrated with the rest of the module. And so AHS Krab has a chassis from K9. From the so far announced structure of the Land Forces, I know that at least 28 DMOs will be needed, which is a minimum of 672 howitzers in Polish conditions. Why is so much needed? Because previously each brigade had one Regina DMO and at least 2 Regina DMOs are needed for an artillery regiment subordinate to a division. There were Krabs in the artillery regiments and 2S1 Gvozdika in the brigades. Due to the outbreak of war in Ukraine, a decision was made to transfer part of the Krabs and to withdraw the 2S1 Gvozdika (and all post-Soviet weapons that have survived so far) from the army. At the time the contract was negotiated, annual production was 48 machines, and now it is reportedly doubled. Nevertheless, the production of 672 howitzers would take 7 years if we produced only for the needs of the Polish Army. So a certain amount of K9 was ordered from Korea. Currently, Korean military equipment is gaining some popularity in Europe and there is a need to build a service center, factory and spare parts warehouse in such a place that heavy equipment is not transported for a month... So the answer to your question is Business, Politics and Interoperability...
These are Polish howitzers. They are produced at Huta Stalowa Wola in Poland. Poles are sending these howitzers to Ukraine as aid. And lots of other heavy equipment. Greetings from Poland.

There is apparently very little left of the British AS-90 turret. The practical implementation resulted in a complete redesign due to lack of parts production capability on the British side. Ukrainian military values Krab higher than the German panzer 2000.

Since the important turret system is that of the British AS90, it seems that Poland, which combines the hull and turret, is smart. So it's probably made in Poland rather than Korea. The body side engine and transmission are also made in Germany. By the way, Koreans seem to be happy that the K9 was adopted, but it is already a self-propelled gun different from the K9.
@@PanProper from what I remember it wasn't. It was modified - poles increased it's durability. Here comes kudos to the brits as they made a really good piece of equipment where poles improved on. The story of this deal is crazy as well. TBH - at some point when the KRAB project has been delayed and stopped/changed multiple times people forgot about this. Brits sold all technology quite cheaply as they lost faith that this project will be successful. BTW: there was a tipping point when poles tested PZH2000 - they decided that it is too expensive, but there was no viable alternative - so they choosed the british cannon as potential option they can improve on. If not Germany who pushed high on price and being too confident that their system is superior - Krab probably won't exist and Poland would end up with small number of PZH2000
No, no, no. K9 and AHS Krab are totally different systems and AS90 turret also! They are looks similarly but fully recombined! Only chassis is developed and made by Koreans (Hyundai Rothem) and with HSW cooperation reconstructed! It is entirely new costruction! For sure all of Krab (in duty in Ukraine) itself, is made and manufactured in Poland. All of them was sent out off polish regular tactical units. Don't forget about the fire control system named TOPAZ, which is polish developed system. It is a heart of Krab which is fully developed in Poland! Thats the point that Ukrainians gunners they loves more Krab then the other systems.
I actually find it as a feature, not as a fail. Foremost important reason comes straight from my engineering background - the more analog, the more simple project is, the less points of failure and always double what calculator, physics and common sense tells you.
Well not really. Turret system is AS-90 braveheart which never actually went into full production in UK, it was proposed for AS-90 upgrade. Only manufacturing line exists in Poland for this turret. As for Nexter's participation - they supply some of 155/52 barrels, some of barrels are made in Poland to similar specs. These orders in Nexter are irregular. Because one fun bit - it's not that simple to make 155/52 barrel. You need seasoned barrel blanks of sufficient size. These blanks need to "rest" for couple years before you make barrel out of them. So it's not something you can quickly scale up and limits the numbers you can make. As major player in this industry Nexter has a lot of seasoned blanks which it turn into barrels - but will sell barrels to customers not blanks. So while HSW needed to wait for blanks to delivered and seasoned, French can just make the barrels on spot. As inventory of barrel blanks in Poland "matures" this will be required less and less. Calling it French... is a bit of overstatement.
there are videos even on the Oryx portal that lancets have big problems with hitting a moving target, besides the number of confirmed successes is not shocking. I'm not saying it's a very weak or completely ineffective weapon, just greatly overrated
Irrelevant. Krab was design without having in mind the danger drones are vs. artillery. In future designs howitzers will need protection vs. small drones rather than only protection vs. shrapnel.

As far as I know they are still there - BASHING one russian position after the other, excellent both in "supression" missions, as well as "battery & counter-battery" fire. Easy to use - precise - durable - VERY fast to deploy & redeploy, so perfect for "shoot&scoot" missions, it gained among Ukrainian soldiers a heavy reputation for RELIABILTY & FIRE-EFFECTIVENESS.

MOST IMPORTANTLY ! - When CALLED UPON - they ALWAYS DELIVER - EVEN in the WORST CONDITIONS (weather&terrain conditions or "under heavy enemy fire" conditions REGARDLESS! - even there, where some heavier - i.e. German in this case - equipment simply could not go ...or so I've been told at least).

Its not a big problem. It makes them more reliable than panzerhaubitze which are breaking on their own alot more than krabs in Ukraine. True that ukrainina soldiers are firing too fast with them but still, apparently Krab is more resistant to heavy use and breaks less often than german spg

Ukrainian forces? These are Polish weapons, not Ukrainian ones. Poland gives a lot of military equipment to Ukraine for free, but this does not mean that it is Ukrainian equipment... This is Polish equipment given to Ukraine for free.
No, it's not for free. Poland received payment for a significant amount of equipment donated to Ukraine. Not from Ukraine but from EU. Poland is the largest beneficiary of the EU fund created to finance weapon donations to Ukraine. Additionally, the only purchase of weapons Ukraine made abroad, using their own funds, was around 50 pieces of Krab, which are currently being delivered. The former Polish government (PiS) didn't inform the general public in Poland about it because they were in constant clashes with the EU, and their propaganda consistently portrayed the EU as a threat. They didn't want to admit that this 'threat' paid them over 1 billion Euros for old Polish tanks and Soviet-era SPGs.
The Krab is a successful construction. The K9 chassis performs better than the manufacturer predicted. The Ukrainians show that it moves efficiently on soft ground.

99式は・・・・PzH2000以上に高いし・・・輸出出来ないし・・・でも装薬まで自動装てんなの未だに99式だけらしいからそれの技術流出防止もあったり・・・？

In the first shot on the vedio, isn't it a flare back. I think its exacuator failed. Why does that gas back inside turret?

It should be mantioned, that despite havimg modified AS-90 turret, the gun on Krab, is no longer the british one, but a French 155mm
really? Have no idea
@@HCforLife1 yeah, the change came basicly at the same time that the chassis was changed, from modified PT-91 to K9 chassis
Well not really. Turret system is AS-90 braveheart which never actually went into full production in UK, it was proposed for AS-90 upgrade. Only manufacturing line exists in Poland for this turret.
As for Nexter's participation - they supply some of 155/52 barrels, some of barrels are made in Poland to similar specs. These orders in Nexter are irregular.
Because one fun bit - it's not that simple to make 155/52 barrel. You need seasoned barrel blanks of sufficient size. These blanks need to "rest" for couple years before you make barrel out of them. So it's not something you can quickly scale up and limits the numbers you can make. As major player in this industry Nexter has a lot of seasoned blanks which it turn into barrels - but will sell barrels to customers not blanks. So while HSW needed to wait for blanks to delivered and seasoned, French can just make the barrels on spot. As inventory of barrel blanks in Poland "matures" this will be required less and less.
Calling it French... is a bit of overstatement.
How about drone defence system ?
It needs better top armor or active protection system to counter russian lancet
Otherwise it's really good and reliable
there are videos even on the Oryx portal that lancets have big problems with hitting a moving target, besides the number of confirmed successes is not shocking. I'm not saying it's a very weak or completely ineffective weapon, just greatly overrated
Irrelevant. Krab was design without having in mind the danger drones are vs. artillery. In future designs howitzers will need protection vs. small drones rather than only protection vs. shrapnel.

To dlatego, że strzelając na skróconych dystansach używali słabego ładunku miotającego. W eżektorze lufy nie skumulowało się odpowiednio wysokie ciśnienie. To normalne. Na dłuższych dystansach strzału problem zanika.
Eżektor.... Boże kochany zlituj się.....
Ahm.... why is self-propelled howitzer that can reach 40-54km (depending on ammo) being used for level-barrel direct fire? This is not a tank ffs.
We do not have large enough proving grounds in Poland for max range fire excercises. There are enough stories of young soldiers in training putting in one propellant bag too many. Seems every artillery guy has such a tale, the more beer the better the tale.

They should find a quieter engine so they don’t give their position away
It uses german MTU 811. In modern warfare it doesnt matter if it's loud since you have drone eye in the sky.
this vehicle is 40 kilometers from the line of the contact with enemy. 1000 HP V8 MTU is top class. Polish wheeled IFVs KTO Rosomaks use Scania V8 and are ultra silent because this vehicle is much closer to the enemy.
All I know is that the UAF relies on it ALWAYS and despite they are not that many of them (yet at least!) - and despite some losses - they've been always sent to the HOTTEST & MOST DANGEROUS FRONTLINE-SECTIONS - for example - they've been engaging the russian forces in & around Bakhmut, since the "get-go" of the battle for it & the beginning of the russki offensive onto that town, making MINCEMEAT out of "Wagner" troopers. As far as I know they are still there - BASHING one russian position after the other, excellent both in "supression" missions, as well as "battery & counter-battery" fire. Easy to use - precise - durable - VERY fast to deploy & redeploy, so perfect for "shoot&scoot" missions, it gained among Ukrainian soldiers a heavy reputation for RELIABILTY & FIRE-EFFECTIVENESS. The "TOPAZ" system is a "little marvel" of Polish targeting&battle managment software and the "Krab" now - furthermore! - has been successfully proven to be able to shoot ALL the array of NATO ammunitions, so not just "base-bleed" projectiles, but "Excalibur" or equivalent, too, as well as all others. MOST IMPORTANTLY ! - When CALLED UPON - they ALWAYS DELIVER - EVEN in the WORST CONDITIONS (weather&terrain conditions or "under heavy enemy fire" conditions REGARDLESS! - even there, where some heavier - i.e. German in this case - equipment simply could not go ...or so I've been told at least). The AHS "Krab" has nothing to "envy" towards its Western counterparts ...and that makes me truly proud... Sława Ukrainie! Za Waszą i Naszą Wolność!

You can clearly see in this Krab howitzer that being not fully automatic is the big problem. German panzerhaubitze and Korean K9A3 are the future, fully automatic loading system is the future.
Its not a big problem. It makes them more reliable than panzerhaubitze which are breaking on their own alot more than krabs in Ukraine. True that ukrainina soldiers are firing too fast with them but still, apparently Krab is more resistant to heavy use and breaks less often than german spg
Thats why in real world scenario like Ukraine soldiers prefer Krabs over other cause autoloaders are only problems and constant headache.

These are Polish weapons, not Ukrainian ones.
Poland gives a lot of military equipment to Ukraine for free, but this does not mean that it is Ukrainian equipment...
This is Polish equipment given to Ukraine for free.
No, it's not for free. Poland received payment for a significant amount of equipment donated to Ukraine. Not from Ukraine but from EU. Poland is the largest beneficiary of the EU fund created to finance weapon donations to Ukraine. Additionally, the only purchase of weapons Ukraine made abroad, using their own funds, was around 50 pieces of Krab, which are currently being delivered.
The former Polish government (PiS) didn't inform the general public in Poland about it because they were in constant clashes with the EU, and their propaganda consistently portrayed the EU as a threat. They didn't want to admit that this 'threat' paid them over 1 billion Euros for old Polish tanks and Soviet-era SPGs.
