Ukrainian soldiers destroy two enemy 2S1 Gvozdika artillery systems

Soldiers with the Ukrainian Armed Forces' 45th Detached Artillery Brigade have destroyed two Russian Gvozdikas (which also means 'carnations') in the Eastern direction

They posted a video on their Facebook page.

"Coming to the neighbor’s garden with a bouquet of two carnations is a bad omen. At least because it will result in a beautiful video you can rewatch multiple times. Our gardeners carefully weed out harmful plants," the soldiers wrote.

The 2S1 Gvozdika is a Soviet 122-mm self-propelled artillery system designed to destroy manpower, artillery batteries, pillboxes, as well as to secure passages in minefields and field barriers.
