2S1 Gvozdika vs M109 Paladin - Which Is Faster ?

The 2S1 Gvozdika (Russian: 2С1 «Гвоздика», "Carnation") is a Soviet self-propelled howitzer based on the MT-LBu multi-purpose chassis, mounting a 122 mm 2A18 howitzer. "2S1" is its GRAU designation. An alternative Russian designation is SAU-122 but in the Russian Army it is commonly known as Gvozdika. The 2S1 is fully amphibious with very little preparation, and once afloat is propelled by its tracks. A variety of track widths are available to allow the 2S1 to operate in snow or swamp conditions. It is NBC protected and has infrared night-vision capability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The M109 is an American 155 mm turreted self-propelled howitzer, first introduced in the early 1960s to replace the M44. It has been upgraded a number of times, most recently to the M109A7. The M109 family is the most common Western indirect-fire support weapon of maneuver brigades of armored and mechanized infantry divisions.

The M109 has a crew of four: the section chief/commander, the driver, the gunner, and the ammunition handler/loader. The chief or gunner aims the cannon left or right (deflection) and up and down (quadrant).

Something different for a change, this time a platoon of 15mm scale tanks from Flames of War WW3: Team Yankee. Was getting tired of painting just warhammer and bought an M1 Abrams box earlier this year as a present to myself. All of them are built as M1A1 variants.

A real treat to paint due to the small scale. Wanted to do NATO 3-color camouflage but after two failed attempts at it I went with a basic dark green hull. I looked up a bunch of images from the old REFORGER exercises and went with that instead.

Would've wanted them to be more loaded with gear, but the kit only came with a few boxes and jerry cans when I wanted some rucksacks and tarps too. But I couldn't find any stowage kits that I wouldn't have to pay a whole bunch for in either shipping or import taxes. Wouldn't have minded some Ace Combat decals too, but those are also only available outside of the EU. Whoopee. :v

Because I had goofed up the assembly a little with the first tank it turned into a painting test bed just so see how things would pan out.

Most important lessons I learned was that while dry brushing the hull looks good, it's also not that fun to do and you go through a ton of paint too in the process. Secondly, any pintle mounts and antennas go on last.

Want to paint more, considering getting M109 Paladins in the future. But then there's also have Strv 103s in the game, and only fools would say no to those.

A train has smashed into a US Army vehicle which became stuck on a railway crossing in South Carolina.

In dramatic dashcam footage shared by witnesses, blaring horns and the screeching of brakes can be heard before a freight train comes into view.

The fast-moving locomotive ploughs into the stationary M109 Paladin howitzer, worth $1.5 million, which is being carried on a lorry.

The impact takes a chunk out of the howitzer – a large, self-propelled gun on tracks, which resembles a small tank.

The howitzer bounces and shakes before landing on the road, as its broken 155mm gun spins.

The incident took place at midday local time on Thursday at a level crossing in Goose Creek, Berkeley County. No injuries were reported.

Witnesses said the lorry driver managed to escape moments before the impact.

So, we also have another birthday to attend to... a loud one. 😁 We'd like to wish a very very Happy 247th Birthday to the United States Army Field Artillery, established (Friday) November 17th, 1775. Despite an obsessive-compulsive (and misguided) concept that it is obsolete, the Artillery remains the largest casualty-causing weapons system on the battlefield. (Not that I'm biased, or anything - I spent six years of my life as a Redleg 😉) The Field Artillery remains on the leading edge of the technology field, staying abrest of all possible modernizations in weapons platforms, ammunition, and fire-control. It is, and will always remain, The King Of Battle. *** Seen here is an M777 .155mm howitzer (affectionately referred to as a "Triple-Seven"). Of British design, it is used by both the US Army and Marine Corps, and depending on ammunition used, can reach out anywhere 14 to 25 miles.*** Happy Birthday, Redlegs!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photo: US Army #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #onlyinnewjersey #njspots #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancock #fieldartillery #artillery #redlegs #redleg #henryknox #kingofbattle #m777 #m119 #m109 #paladin #firemission #fortsill #fortsilloklahoma #firecontrol #forwardobserver (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClFlzyqtWx-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
