A representative of the KZVV, which produces self-propelled guns, said this <a href=\"https:\/\/oboronka.mezha.ua\/en\/intervyu-z-virobnikom-sau-bogdana-314843\/\" target=\"_blank\" pubtag=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">in an interview with Defense<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\n\t\t &#8220;While we were making from the Soviet one, we have already developed a new carriage.

According to a representative of the KZVV, this has allowed for savings on the cost of each howitzer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\n\t\t &#8220;The gun carriage costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the Ministry of Defense warehouses had a bunch of Soviet 152mm towed howitzers lying around without shells. So they decided to take the carriages from there and save the army money on each howitzer. Even now, a number of these Soviet gun carriages remain in the warehouses,&#8221; he said.\n\t<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/img.mezha.ua\/mezha\/system\/MediaPhoto\/photo\/a\/1\/324516\/a14d0c1370db3fa740d170bd7046062f1788426598.jpg\" class=\"ignore-ga\" data-fancybox=\"gallery\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/defence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a14d0c1370db3fa740d170bd7046062f1788426598.jpg\" alt=\"Hyacinth-B at Navy exercises\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1149\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n                            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hyacinth-B&#8221; at Navy exercises<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n                                    From open sources&#13;\n                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to a representative of the KZVV, the use of the new carriage will slightly increase the cost of the towed &#8220;Bohdana&#8221; &#8211; it will be about $1.8 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Previously, &#8220;Defense&#8221; in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/oboronka.mezha.ua\/en\/yak-pracyuye-bogdana-bg-u-boyu-309542\/\" target=\"_blank\" pubtag=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#8220;This gun is a sniper rifle&#8221;.
