The Ukrainian-made «Bogdana» artillery mount turned out to be more accurate than the Soviet 203-mm 2S7 «Pion» self-propelled gun and the German PzH 2000. When firing with standard high-explosive fragmentation shells, it is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 42 km. When using active-reactive shells, the range of hitting targets increases to 60 km. This was reported to ArmyInform by the soldiers of the 28th artillery brigade.
According to Defence Express, information about the range and accuracy of the Ukrainian artillery system has appeared in the open for the first time. It is capable of hitting targets with the second shot.
The declared range of the self-propelled gun over rough terrain is 300 km. On the highway, it can travel up to 800 km. With a combat weight of 28 tons, the self-propelled gun develops a speed of 80 km/h.
One of the Ukrainian self-propelled guns withstood a hit in the armored cabin of the fifth kamikaze UAV. There is nothing surprising in this, since the «Bogdan» can withstand an anti-tank mine. One of the installations was attacked at the front by the «Pion» self-propelled guns using 203-mm cluster shells. The vehicle and the artillery unit were cut by fragments, but they did not receive critical damage.
