Ukraine's 68th Artillery Brigade Fields 2P22 'Bohdana-BG' 155mm SPH Equipped with Anti-Drone Protection
Ukraine's 68th Artillery Brigade has released photos showing its newly fielded 2P22 'Bohdana-BG' 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers fitted with anti-drone protection systems. The images highlight the Ukrainian military's ongoing efforts to improve the battlefield survivability of heavy artillery assets against the growing drone threat in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Highlights
- Ukraine's 68th Artillery Brigade has publicly released photos of its 2P22 'Bohdana-BG' 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzers fitted with anti-drone protection systems.
- The 'Bohdana-BG' is a Ukrainian-developed, NATO-standard 155mm SPH; the 'BG' variant adds targeted upgrades for improved battlefield adaptability.
- Anti-drone protective measures — including protective cages and electronic countermeasures — have become standard practice for Ukrainian SPHs amid the growing drone threat in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
- Combat experience in Ukraine has demonstrated that traditional heavy artillery faces critical survivability challenges on drone-saturated modern battlefields.
Ukraine's 68th Artillery Brigade has released a new set of photographs showcasing its latest equipment: the 2P22 'Bohdana-BG' 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer (SPH). The images have drawn significant attention from defense observers.
Anti-Drone Protection Now a Standard Feature
The photographs clearly show that these 'Bohdana-BG' SPHs have been fitted with anti-drone protection systems. This reflects the Ukrainian military's proactive response to the increasingly severe drone threat on the modern battlefield. In the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, drones have become a critical tool for both reconnaissance and strike missions, posing a significant threat to heavy equipment. As a result, fitting SPHs with protective cages or electronic countermeasure devices has gradually become standard battlefield practice.
About the 'Bohdana-BG'
The 'Bohdana' series is a Ukrainian-developed 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer that uses NATO-standard ammunition. It offers high mobility and rapid deployment capability, and stands as one of the flagship achievements of Ukraine's domestic defense industry. The 'BG' variant introduces targeted upgrades over the baseline model, further enhancing its battlefield adaptability.
The Challenge Facing Modern Artillery in a Drone-Saturated Battlefield
Combat experience from the Russia-Ukraine war has demonstrated that traditional heavy artillery faces unprecedented survivability pressure on a battlefield where drones are deployed at scale. By integrating anti-drone systems onto its SPHs, the Ukrainian military is seeking to maintain its fire superiority while improving the overall survivability of its artillery assets.
