🇺🇦Ukraine’s Bohdana Howitzer Becomes Mass-Produced Arsenal, Output Steady at 30+ per Month

09/04/2025

Ukraine’s defense industry plans to expand its Bohdana howitzer program, adding new variants to one of the country’s most widely produced artillery systems since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Defence24 reported on September 2.

Defence24 journalist Mariusz Marszałkowski stated that the manufacturer aims to mount the 155mm system on South Korean and German chassis, potentially including tracked platforms, and is developing a version with a 39-caliber barrel. These changes would diversify configurations and increase deployment options for Ukrainian forces.

The program has already delivered 345 wheeled Bohdanas across different chassis and nearly 100 towed guns. Production currently exceeds 30 units per month, manufactured within Ukraine and abroad.

The Bohdana has become a cornerstone of Ukraine’s offensive firepower, providing NATO-standard 155mm artillery for front-line units. New chassis options and barrel lengths aim to improve mobility, survivability, and integration with NATO logistics, while also adapting to operational needs, Defence Blog reported.
