Historical overview

The self-propelled howitzer 2S1 Gvozdika was designed in the USSR in the late 1960s. It was produced in series since 1971, with its unique feature being amphibious capability and high mobility due to the tracked chassis based on the MT-LB transporter. This equipment was widely used by Warsaw Pact countries, including the Polish Army, mainly in artillery units during the Cold War and after the fall of communism. The 2S1 took part in numerous conflicts – from the Afghan War to operations in Ukraine.
