Description The Panzerhaubitze 2000 ("Armoured howitzer 2000"), abbreviated PzH 2000, is a German 155mm Self Propelled Howitzer developed by Krauss Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall for the German Army. The PzH 2000 is one of the most powerful conventional artillery systems deployed in the 2010s. It is capable of a very high rate of fire; in burst mode it can fire three rounds in nine seconds, ten rounds in 56 seconds, and can — depending on barrel heating — fire between 10 and 13 rounds per minute continuously. The PzH 2000 has automatic support for up to 5 rounds of Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI The replenishment of shells is automated. Two operators can load 60 shells and propelling charges in less than 12 minutes. PzH 2000 has also been selected by the armies of Italy, Netherlands, Grecce, Lithuania and Croatia and more orders are probable as many NATO forces replace their M109 Howitzer

Seen these a few times (and got to watch their artillery land once). 
The first encounter was on our first march when this thing came down the road towards, and past, us recruits.
