2S-1 Gvozdika (M1974)
The 'Carnation' is found in inventories all across the globe.
By Staff Writer
The 2S1 122mm Gvozdika ('Carnation') was first seen by the West in a Poland military parade in 1974 (hence the US Army designation of M1974). The 122 mobile battlefield artillery system utilizes a power turret capable of a full 360 degree rotation and +70 degree up and -3 degree down traversal.
The 2S1 is fully amphibious with a few minor additions and propels itself with it's own height-adjusted treads. The treads can also be updated to fit a larger size for when traversig thick waters or deep snow.
The 122mm barrel can fire a variety of projectile types including HE, HEAT-FS, smoke and illumination rounds a distance of up to 15,300 meters (9.5 miles). The range can be extended to 21,900 meters (13.6 miles) with rocket-assisted projectiles.
The 2S1 is used extensively throughout the world, most notably service with former Soviet supported countries.
