2S22 Bohdana: The rare howitzer Ukraine used as part of mission to retake Snake Island

Inspired from France's « CaESAr » (Camion Equipé d’un Système d’Artillerie), which the Ukrainians say is their best conventional artillery.
it would be better if it had an auto loader and deployable poles on the back so the suspension lasts longer
The USA is delighted with how the Ukrainian army is fighting.
I bet they wish they'd made a few more of them
No matter what victories Russia claims, the things history will remember are; Russia's crushing loss north of Kiev, the sinking of the Mosqva, Russia's withdrawl from Snake Island, and the war crimes that were broadcast for the world to see; the razing of Mariupol, the amazingly brave Ukrainians holding the Azovstahl factory, and the body littered streets of Bucha…..
There's no way to spin all that into something that putin can comfortably call 'victory'. History will not be kind to putin. It never is for degenerate monsters like putin.
Ukraine manufacturer: "How far do you want your howitzer to shoot?"
Ukraine military: "Yes."
Boy that thing could use some more serious rear outrigger stabilizers. That amount of chassi flex seems excessive.
Lol the Ghost of snake island is back…I wonder what they will say when Snake Island's permanent landlord takes over at the end of the war.
Seems to be a work in progress and even if not as sophisticated as other offerings it is Ukrainian and money spent on it stay in Ukraine and the expertise required to make it stays in Ukraine. Do they still have the capacity to produce it or has that already been lost?

I bet they where disappointed to find the island was abandoned weeks ago
их должно быть 1000
Too much show off and talk but very little help. The Russians are raining bombs on Ukrainians.
Glory to Ukraine.
but at the end, this island is useless for both sides.
Ukrainians didnt retake it. Russians gave it to them and now they are shelling them. Nice trap for Ukrainians.
L'OTAN a perdu sa guerre contre la Russie.
There is no one on snake island right now. So "recapuring" is quite a stretch.
The word "RARE" is a synonym for "ARCHAIC".
So many achievements by Ukraine and still loosing? We are hearing since the beginning that Ukraine destroyed Russian Tanks and helicopters and its winning. Then why is it loosing its region one by one? Thats because it wasn’t. News Channels like yours are already sold to the West and now you guys are spreading propaganda to get people’s unity for U.S not Ukraine.
The war would've ended long ago if U.S didnt supply weapons and aids. That would mean less lives, less loss of infrastructure and less crisis for the world. But America never wants peace. If America can invade Iraq with no reason then why cant Russia conduct millitary operation on its neighbouring land with valid reasons?
