The 44th Separate Artillery Brigade is armed with Bohdana self-propelled guns

The Ukrainian 44th Hetman Danylo Apostol Separate Artillery Brigade has been armed with domestic Bohdana 155mm self-propelled guns.

The brigade’s soldiers are currently mastering the modern Ukrainian artillery system.

The press service of the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade published the photos of the equipment.

The photos capture the training process at the training ground. During these exercises, Ukrainian artillerymen prepare to perform combat missions to destroy enemy targets on the battlefield.

“Today, our gunners of the 44th Hetman Danylo Apostol Separate Artillery Brigade are mastering the latest Bohdana artillery system,” the Brigade reported.

The gunners are practicing, among other things, the deployment of self-propelled artillery systems at a firing position, targeting, and then hitting a target.

Ukrainian Bohdana 155mm wheeled self-propelled artillery systems can be spotted more and more often in photos and videos of military units of the Defense Forces.

According to an official statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian defense industry has reached a monthly production rate of up to 20 Bohdana self-propelled wheeled artillery systems.

It is worth noting that the latest versions of the 2S22 Bohdana 155mm wheeled howitzers come with an autoloader. The chassis is currently based on Tatra Phoenix 8×8 or Tatra T815 trucks with Czech Puma L2 Long armored cabs, which are donated in Ukraine.

In September, it was announced that the Armed Forces of Ukraine received 18 Bohdana self-propelled artillery systems, which Denmark financed.

Later, the Danish Ministry of Defense reported that Denmark and Ukraine continue to purchase Ukrainian-made weapons, totaling $600 million. Part of the funds will be taken from frozen Russian assets in the European Union. In particular, this also includes the production of Ukrainian Bohdana artillery systems.

In early October, Ukraine also presented a towed howitzer based on the artillery unit of the Bohdan self-propelled artillery system. The work on such a system was first reported last November.
