The artillery units of the Marines have been equipped with Ukrainian-made Bohdana self-propelled guns.

The press service of the 32nd Separate Artillery Brigade published a photo with these 155mm self-propelled guns.

The images show the military personnel training with these domestic artillery systems at a training ground.

In these exercises, artillery crews are preparing to conduct combat missions aimed at destroying enemy targets.

To achieve this, they practice deploying to a firing position, aiming at a target, and quickly folding and moving to another position.

Such skills are necessary for the crew of the self-propelled artillery system, in particular, to avoid enemy counter-battery warfare and safely leave the area of the combat mission.

Ukraine’s Bohdana 155mm wheeled self-propelled guns are appearing more frequently in photos and videos of military units of the Defense Forces.

According to an official statement by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, in May 2024, the Ukrainian defense industry reached the production rate of 10 Bohdan self-propelled guns per month.

“The state enters into serious, long-term contracts with our enterprises, which provide predictability, the ability to recruit people and attract investment. This month, our industry is producing 10 Bohdana guns for the first time, and in May and beyond,” President Zelensky said on April 18.

It is worth noting that the latest versions of the 2S22 Bohdana 155mm wheeled howitzers come with a powered rammer.

The chassis is currently based on the Tatra Phoenix 8×8 or Tatra T815 trucks with Czech Puma L2 Long armored cabs, which are donated in Ukraine.

Ukraine is also developing a towed howitzer based on the artillery unit of the Bohdana self-propelled artillery system. Work on such a system first became known in November last year.
