Haubitze

Also known as howitzers

Mehrzweckgeschütz der Artillerie

AI overview

A howitzer is an artillery weapon that combines the capabilities of both cannons and mortars, allowing it to fire at both low and high angles to strike targets at various ranges and positions. Howitzers have historically been valued because they can work together with other artillery pieces to deliver explosive shells and incendiary materials, making them particularly effective at attacking fortified positions.

Als Haubitzen werden seit dem 19. Jahrhundert Geschütze der Artillerie bezeichnet, die sowohl in der oberen als auch in der unteren Winkelgruppe schießen können und sich dadurch von den Feldkanonen und Mörsern unterscheiden. Wie auch mit Kanonen können mit Haubitzen Ziele im direkten Richten (Flachfeuer) bekämpft werden.
