2S1 Gvozdika
Self-propelled Howitzer
The 2S1 Gvozdika is a Soviet 122-mm self-propelled howitzer. It is essentially a version of the MTLB APC. 2S1 is its GRAU designation. The alternative Russian designation is SAU-122 but in the
Russian Army it is commonly known as Gvozdika (Carnation).
The 2S1 can be made fully amphibious with very little preparation, and once afloat is propelled
by its tracks. It is NBC protected. The main armament is a 2A31 cannon. The 2S1 is equipped
with a mechanical loading system which enables the howitzer to shoot up to 5 rounds per minute.
