Dutch PzH2000s in Afghanistan
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I believe that these are Dutch PzH2000s in Afghanistan. In the foreground there appears to be a Canadian M-777 155mm gun. The photo is from Combat Camera, on the DND web site. www.combatcamera.force...scending=0

Correct, a pair of them was sent to Afghanistan, the first deployment of this type by the Dutch Army.

5-9-2006: First action for Pantserhouwitser 2000
Yesterday saw the first action for the Pantserhouwitser 2000 in Afghanistan. Dutch military personnel are deploying the 155 mm gun against Taliban fighters in Kandahar, a neighbouring province of Uruzgan. Dutch infantry personnel have also taken over control of the forward operating base Martello from the Canadians in that province.

Thanks for posting the photo. I missed this one on Combat Camera. This is by far the best image of the Dutch PzH 2000s in Afghanistan so far. They have the top turret mounted armour and a MAG 58 mounted. Great view of the placement of the ISAF marking. Yup, that's a Triple 7 in the foreground.
