Bohdana self-propelled gun is capable of firing corrected Excalibur ammunition (video)
At the beginning of this year, Oleksiy Reznikov announced the launch of the Bohdan self-propelled gun system’s serial assembly. This is the first Ukrainian self-propelled artillery system of NATO caliber.
Last weekend, a video was posted on the global web showing a Bohdana being fired by an Excalibur high-precision munition. The range of this artillery shell with dynamic rudders can exceed 70 km. For comparison, the range of the Bohdan self-propelled artillery system’s targets when using active-reactive missiles is 60 km.
