Olena Havrilyuk, a military correspondent
"The Bakhmut direction is one of the hottest areas on the front. It is here that our guys are countering the artillery, armoured vehicles, manpower and firearms of the enemy infantry. Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer helps them in this."
Our soldiers call this self-propelled gun, which mercilessly destroys the Russian occupiers in the Donetsk region, the "flower of death". This artillery system has a wide selection of projectiles - from radio-electronic countermeasures to smoke ones. The ammo contains 16 shells located vertically along the side walls of the hull, and 24 along the flank and rear sides of the turret. In addition, the howitzer has an electromechanical autoloader.
Victor, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
"The 122 mm calibre. Here you can take a look, here they are, boys who bring happiness to katsaps and here are propellants for them. Today at 6:30 in the morning we fired 10, the other crew also fired 10. Now we are waiting, we are working alternately, depending on which distance we are shooting. They shoot at a long distance; we at close range. There are reduced and full propellants. Full ones send a projectile farther."
Serhii, a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"The vehicle is wonderful, I have been with it since 2014. It showed brilliant results. Yes, there are problems, we find them, we repair them on the go, they quickly deliver spare parts. First, we change the oil and water, we change the pipes, we prepare, we lubricate everything so that there are no problems in the winter so that it works well."
