According to reports from Militarny, this new artillery system is a hybrid of the Ukrainian-made Bohdana and the Soviet-era 152mm 2A36 Giatsint-B artillery system, modified to incorporate modern features.
The Bohdana system has been mounted on the carriage of the Giatsint-B, aiming to create a cost-effective and easily producible artillery solution for Ukraine’s military. The development of towed artillery systems comes at a crucial time for Ukraine as it seeks to rapidly expand its artillery capabilities in the face of ongoing conflict with Russia.
Towed artillery offers several advantages over self-propelled systems, particularly in terms of production and operational simplicity. “Their production is much cheaper, simpler, and therefore faster compared to self-propelled units, which is a key factor for Ukraine today,” Militarny reported. This allows for quicker manufacturing and deployment on the battlefield, making it a practical solution in current conditions.
