"We continue to destroy occupiers! Including the use of drones. Warriors of the 117th Separate Mechanized Brigade did a great job," the statement reads.
The 2S1 Gvozdika is a Soviet 122mm self-propelled howitzer. The first prototype was ready in 1969. The 2S1 entered service with the Soviet Army in the early 1970s and was first seen in public at a Polish Army parade in 1974. The 2S1 is armed with a modified version of the 2A31 cannon which is also fitted to the D-30 towed howitzer.
The BMD-4 is russian amphibious infantry fighting vehicle. Originally designated as the BMD-3M, the chassis of the BMD-4 is the same as that of the BMD-3 because it was developed on the same basis. This armored fighting vehicle is one of the lightest in its class, possessing a substantial amount of firepower. The vehicle was designed to transport russian airborne troops.
Earlier Defense Express reported that the Netherlands had ordered Novel DITA howitzers for Ukraine, first presented in 2021.
