Technical Profile and Summary of the 2S22 Bohdana SPG The 2S22 Bohdana is a Ukrainian 155 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer designed to transition military artillery logistics to NATO-standard calibers. **Key Specifications** **Caliber and Armament:** Features a 155 mm 52-caliber gun mounted on a tactical truck chassis, capable of carrying approximately 20 rounds of ammunition onboard. **Firing Range:** Delivers a maximum range of 40 to 42 kilometers with conventional high-explosive shells, and up to 50 to 60 kilometers when utilizing rocket-assisted projectiles (RAP). **Rate of Fire:** Capable of sustaining an average rate of fire of around 5 to 6 rounds per minute. **Mobility and Chassis:** Originally prototyped on a KrAZ-6322 6×6 truck, subsequent production variants have adapted to various high-mobility multi-axle chassis platforms (such as MAZ and Tatra 8×8 configurations) providing a road speed of up to 80 km/h. **Protection:** Incorporates an armored cabin designed to shield the crew of five from small arms fire and artillery shell fragments. **Summary and Military Utility** **Standardization and Interoperability:** Developed to break reliance on legacy Soviet-standard 152 mm systems by fully adopting NATO 155 mm ammunition supplies and tactical integration standards. **Shoot-and-Scoot Capability:** Utilizing a wheeled platform gives the system high strategic road mobility and rapid deployment capabilities—allowing it to quickly reposition after firing to avoid counter-battery retaliation.
