The efficiency of the “Bogdana” is attributed not only to its advanced technology but also to the well-trained personnel. “Our forces are continuously enhancing their skills through rigorous exercises in various conditions, thus ensuring maximum operational effectiveness,” emphasized the commander of the Ground Forces.
The updated system is based on a robust 8×8 chassis and includes a redesigned crew cabin, providing increased safety and comfort. A highlight of the “Bogdana” is its new weapon firing mechanism, designed to mechanize the loading of projectiles, increasing the rate of fire and simplifying loading operations, while ensuring stability during the process.
Equipped with a 155mm caliber cannon, the “Bogdana” has a horizontal movement capability of -30 to +30 degrees and an elevation angle of -5 to +65 degrees. The transition of the artillery unit from transport mode to combat position is efficient, taking just 90 seconds. With a top speed of 80 km/h and a range of 700 km, the system offers exceptional mobility and operational endurance.
