Bulgarian authorities are removing Soviet era 2S1 ‘Gvozdika’ self-propelled howitzers (SPGs) and BRDM-2 armoured scout cars from military storage, for shipment to Ukraine.

Russia running out of vehicles, tanks and shells. Ukraine needs to hold out a little longer.
Look I understand we want to help, but this is like providing a hammer and chisel to a neurosurgeon.
Anything remotely modern ballistic will tear that shit to shreds and the men Inside, equipped can be replaced, men can not,
So, were they stored indoors, or did they just put a coat of paint over the rust?
I’ll bet when these were built, the Soviets didn’t realize they’d be used to kill Russians.
Seems poetic.
Old but better than nothing. Best used in low intensity roles.
Appreciate the thought, but they look like something off of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Would you all rather walk, or get a rusty bike?
It’s not shiny and new but it’s SOMETHING and better than NOTHING. Hopefully these can be used in more supporting roles but everything helps and thank you Bulgaria for helping the cause…period.
Ukraine previously made a prototype IFV from the SPG chassis. It was called the Kevlar E. The old SPG gets upcycled to an IFV, bigger gun and thicker armor than BMP-1, modernized electronics etc.. Seems more likely something like that will occur than being sent out as-is.
All fun and party, untill you see the drone footage of there newer equipment shipped All over the place like Belarus.
There throwing in litterly despocables…
And, accumulate new forces/equipment.
There economics ain’t shattered as promised.
There pumping out more equipment than expected, even shaheed drone factories.
Adivka was a ratio of 1-2(if you believe western numbers), witch is way to low.
I keep saying this for month’s, laughing about this crap makes our politicians less likely to send more support.
Yes, they failed jn 2022…
But, stop laughing like idiot’s.
Concerning russian law, it’s still not officially a war.
We all see the videos and pictures of convicts and old buggers.
Wat after the elections in two weeks.
Western support last years, ain’t as promised.
And!! With that orange clown of trump likely to win, everything is possible.
This is really concerning…
Someone bought the wrong shade of green and really went at it
They are old but they have got to be better than a 4×4 or van
it does seem that finally people are starting to have a serious look around for what can be sent
Depending on whether and how many anti tank weapons the RA has, and if they’re available where the tanks are being used will make the difference between how effective these war machines are in a battle field. I suspect against dug in Russian soldiers they will still be very effective and when approaching and firing, scare the hell out of them. More importantly kill them efficiently.
Hope they plan on giving them the 122mm ammo for those 2S1’s and the 14.7mm rounds for the BRDM’s.
Lmaooooooooo
The Slavic nation of Bulgaria realizes that if Russia will indiscriminately and intentionally kill civilians in a neighboring Slavic nation like Ukraine, they wouldn’t hesitate to do the same to Bulgaria.
It is interesting that the two countries that actually had Soviet tanks roll-in as a show of force, Hungary and (Czecho-) -Slovakia, are two countries that currently have pro-Russia leanings.
You’d think if any country would be wary of an aggressive Russia, it would be those two.
Man, they should sell those things to raise cash for something a little more modern. Btw, I will buy one.
Can it drive, can it shoot, will it at least stop small arms…. Get them to the front.
