History[]
The 2S1 Gvozdika (translated "Carnation") entered service in the Soviet Army in the early 70's, soon becoming the backbone of regimental self-propelled artillery in mechanized/armored regiments.
Based on a variant of the MT-LB's ubiquitous chassis, it mounts a modified D-30 field howitzer (122mm) in a 360° turret. Mobile and cheap, it provides Soviet armies with light artillery support.
It was also widely distributed among Warsaw Pact countries, especially Poland & Czechoslovakia which both produced it locally.
Each Armored/Mechanized Regiment were equipped with a Self-propelled battery or a battery equipped with towed D-30.
