Ukrainian artillery crews reveal how they fight and survive under constant threat, working with both American M114 howitzers and the Ukrainian-made 2P22 “Bohdana-BG.” From Vietnam-era guns still firing on today’s battlefield to modern 155mm systems capable of striking targets up to 40 kilometers away, this story shows the reality of artillery warfare: camouflage, constant relocation, freezing weather, mined crossroads, and the daily risk of logistics becoming a one-way trip. Soldiers explain why towed artillery can sometimes outperform self-propelled systems in positional warfare — easier to hide, harder to destroy, and more practical in tight defensive setups. Commanders speak openly about rotation schedules, technical advantages, needed improvements, and why some would still choose a towed Bohdana over an SPG. This is a raw look at precision, endurance, and the men behind the guns.
Towed artillery is not going anywhere soon despite what people say…
