And now let's take another look at the country itself. Our reporter Ibrahim Naber accompanied a Ukrainian unit in Donbass that was fighting with a self-propelled howitzer delivered from Germany. Apparently there can be no talk of relief at the moment. On the contrary. 57 tons of hope from Germany in use in eastern Ukraine. A unit of the Ukrainian army uses this self-propelled howitzer 2000 to fire on Russian positions in the Donetsk region. Here in eastern Ukraine, Kiev's troops continue to be under heavy pressure and are increasingly losing territory. The hope , of course, is that there will be relief. Due to the attack by Ukrainian troops on Russian territory in Kursk. Because it could happen that Putin has to withdraw troops in order to push back Putin's troops. Does Ukraine also rely on the firepower of self-propelled howitzers? We aim the tank howitzer at the Russian artillery system. Multiple rocket launchers, weapons depots. All important goals. It only takes three minutes from the command to the first shot, enthuses soldier Tayfun. But his unit currently has a big problem. Unfortunately, what Panini has seen in the last few days and months are more and more hostile birds in the sky. And they prevent us from working. Birds, Tayfun means Russian drones. And shortly afterwards we experience for ourselves what that means. Come on, guys, hide. The birds are above us. The book has to go out tomorrow. This is not our law. Grab a gun! Come on! Seek cover! These attacks, especially with kamikaze. Drones are becoming increasingly common. That's why we should seek protection here for now. They have now just placed themselves under a position in order to be as protected as possible from attacks. Andre is also part of the self-propelled howitzer crew. He also monitors the Russian drones in the area on his tablet. Where is he? What is the situation currently? Generally here at the front? Well, the Russians are attacking, they're trying to advance and we're holding off as best we can. We work every day without a break. Battery Commander Roman also confirms the tense situation at the front. It's extremely difficult because they outnumber them. They have to be three times as strong as we are on the offensive, but it turns out that sometimes they have seven or eight times as many soldiers. We not only three times. I saw one that I don't mean. We just don't have the time to kill them all. The unit has now received the green light to operate the self-propelled howitzer. Soldier Jack has already positioned himself nearby with his machine gun. If Russian drones appear, he should shoot them down. His comrade scans the sky for suspicious signals. Then suddenly the self-propelled howitzer comes up and gets into position. The crew has received coordinates to shell a Russian position about 15 kilometers away. Shortly afterwards there is the first thunder before the colossus from Germany disappears back into the forest.
