Development of the 2S1 Gvosdika (carnation) 122 mm self-propelled howitzer began in 1967. First prototypes were built in 1969 and in was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1971. Production of the 2S1 Gvosdika commenced in 1972. It was first seen in public at a Polish Army parade in 1974. This artillery systems was deployed in large numbers. It has been exported to a number of Soviet allies. Also it has seen combat during numerous military conflicts. The Gvosdika is currently in service with a number of countries.
The 2S1 Gvosdika is fitted with a D-32 122 mm rifled howitzer. It is a modified variant of the D-30 towed howitzer. It is fitted with a load assisting system. Maximum rate of fire is 4-5 rounds per minute. The Gvosdika is compatible with all 122 mm munitions developed for the D-30 howitzer. These include fragmentation, HE-FRAG, HEAT, cluster, smoke and illumination projectiles. A total of 40 rounds are carried, usually 35 HE-FRAG and 5 HEAT. Maximum range of fire with HE-FRAG projectile is 15.2 km.
The 2S1 Gvosdika SPH has a crew of four, including commander, gunner, loader and driver.
Hull and turret are of welded steel armor construction. Protection is against small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. Vehicle is fitted with NBC protection system.
The 2S1 Gvosdika is based on the modified MT-LB multi-purpose armored vehicle chassis. Vehicle is powered by a YaMZ-238V diesel engine, developing 240 horsepower. Vehicle is amphibious, though the ammunition load has to be reduced to 30 rounds in order to cross rivers and lakes afloat. On water vehicle is propelled by its tracks. Maximum speed on water is 4.5 km/h. The 2S1 Gvosdika SPH can be airlifted by An-12, Il-76, C-130, or similar military transport aircraft.

In Finland we place for at the back of the turret for gear, basically an open crate and currently we have PKM mounts for the loaders side, before that we had 1 AK per tank plus our service pistols, I guess we would be given the AK as well if things get really bad.

It's perfect. Its relatively cheap to produce, its light and amphibious so it can go almost anywhere providing artillery support to even the most aggressive fast moving attacks. And it's made from existing inventory so it's very little new parts to complicate supply chain problems. What's there not to love?! Why didn't the US just put a 105mm in a turret on top of m113s? Not the same as 2s1, but a budget level infantry support vehicle that can offer more range than 120mm mortars has a LOT of appeal. All the 105mm m108s got converted to 155mm m109s in the '70s to kill soviet tanks. Infantry needs all the love they can get! They're the hardest working MF's on the planet!

One thing I would like to see more of are obscure combat engineer armored vehicles like the M728 CEV or the British Centurion based CEV both of whom mount an insane 165mm Demolition gun. I've seen it demonstrated in real life back in the 1990's when I was at Ft. Leanordwood, Missouri (home of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers) and it was extremely impressive. Sadly it's modern replacements no longer have the demolition gun, but they still have some very cool features like the built in line-charges on the U.S. Army's M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle, another very cool vehicle that could be reviewed.

Polish made ones are also called "Goździk" - yes the name is takrn from flower - carnation. It's because when you will watch this gun firing in highest up point in slo-mo you gonna see a fireball of the muzzle that looks like a flower itself and long, thin 122mm gun straight up looks much like its stalk. BTW Regular crew for Goździk are 4 guys. When you are in need for lots of rounds to be fired out there here it comes the 5-th guy. Now you have 2 loaders for more ammo work. This additional crew member is practicing with the crew on quite regular basis while still being a team member of the IFV BWP-1 or Rosomak APC of motorized infantry.

(I think you knew it already from way too many instances) That Polish soldier which pulled out powder bags from the cases was possibly the 5-th one. But. Things were changing (a lot) since when I finished my service. Its possible that today the 5-th guy figures out as crew member of artilery unit only on the paper.

Then at the next firing position we are given the orders how to prep the ammo, so we take the bags out during that point, if we need to.

Well, as to direct and indirect fire. The main role of artillery is indirect fire, where the observation with forward observers (which is a dangerous occupation - while it lasts) or a small drone, a radar plane flying at a safe distance. That said: I'm not knocking direct fire - particularly in case of a hostile break through - but concentrating on that means protection is necessary. The defieciency of protection leaves the vehicle unable to follow the tanks: Simply put: If the tanks achieve a break through they will have driven through light forces in dug in positions. Now when the tanks have passed and they need artillery backup the vehicle is vulnerable to the antitank weapons of light forces such as the Carl Gustav. It might be able to scoot forward a fair speed - directly into doom (and the modest ammunition - compared to doctrinial specification) will leave them like a gift that continues to give, as the transport vehicles are only scantially protected. Now, again: I am not knocking lightly protected artillery pieces. Used properly from dug in positions (and switching between positions) is a nifty thing - especially if the enemy obviously plan to expose his bum without trousers.

@Mortablunt Жыл бұрын

There are some advantages to 122mm, namely carrying capacity and rate of fire. Carrying capacity is important because having more shells available is always a good thing. Rate of fire is important because the side that shoots more is usually the side that wins. Those two things are why the Russians have kept these older systems around and use them so heavily. Given their performance in the positional artillery battles in Ukraine the decision looks very sound.

Minus the gun it would be good for summer tourist traffic or beach fishing (New England).

GvÓzdikas are being slowly retired as we speak. With no replacement..

Sprut I think is an airborne water-capable 125 artillery piece. Look it up, Matts did a video on it. Speaking of replacement, I mean

@@alexnickolaev mate, Sprut is more or less AT weapon for VDV. Do you mean 2S42 Lotos? But there was Vena and Nona for VDV.. They have plenty of artillery proposed. But there's no replacement for Gvozdika at all for military.. Russian military will also purchase shitloads of wheeled platforms for heavy/medium and light mortar platforms that fill the gap for mobility, yet cross country performance might be questionable. But Russian MOD tested artillery capabilities in modern environment and decided that mortars and even more mobile platforms will fill the gap.

You don't get it. Artillery is your god. It is your saviour. If it's mobile, if it's on your hand, you're not dead.

Towed equipment is vulnerable to infantry _ you always want platforms to be attached to armored vehicles _ not matter the type of weapon platform _ mobility is King

God, you are butchering those SPG names on some places. i had a problem figuring out what are you talking about. Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia, but you named it before YU when listing users.

Single piece ready primed artillery ammunition is what you want for rapid firing, Having separate shell powder and in some cases a primer as well is not ideal, Having pre prepared or factory rounds of ammunition has the benefit of being able to offer simplified rapid fire with a auto loader.

Pretty sure all rapid-fire artillery systems use 2-piece ammunition, including those with autoloaders.

I wonder what you think about how they're performing in the Russia-Ukraine war we're now seeing? They are getting extensive use from both sides.

Not BMP. More like MT-LB with a 122 gun. My father, rise up to a "Gvoszdika"-division head of staff during communist times. He was until, on a morning gather-up he commanded: "Division, fall i! Division attention!" ... and fell on the plats, drunk as a log in front of them all... If he was alive today, He could tell some cool stories!

You will find pronouncing slavic languages a lot easier, if you remember that "i" is always pronounced like an english "ee" - as in beet, not as in bit.

2S1 'Gvozdika' is not Russian, it is the artillery of the USSR. It is in service with several countries.

While the Russians designed a semi-automatic reloading and targeting system for the SPG, the American M107 still reloads and fires manually. The Americans do not seem to care much about artillery fire on the battlefield, which determines a lot more about the damage they inflict on the enemy than the air force, because the US air force cannot always maintain secrecy. dense firepower on the battlefield to suppress the opponent.
