2S1 Gvozdika	Soviet Union  Serbia	Self-propelled gun	Active: 72 Reserve: 9		Modernization under way. The modernization is being carried out on the basis of the 122 mm towed howitzer of the Serbian modernization program. Project "SORA 122mm" and NORA B-52. Where the truck platform was abandoned, which was used by the proto-type version of the "SORA 122mm" system In favor of a much better, crawler platform 2S1 Gvozdika system. The action was made possible by two new projectiles, an increased target on the target, and an increased range of about 40% from 15,200 to almost 22,000 m. By installing a new ballistic computer, and a fire control system, which enables, it is much faster to take a combat position, as well as to leave the same combat position. There is also a new inertial navigation system, as well as GPRS, as well as the possibility of action, multiple projectiles in one point MRSI. Thus, it was achieved that with one 2S1 Gvozdika system, in the system of MRSI action in one point, 6 projectiles can be fired in a minute. Which leads to the fact that one system 2S1 Gvozdika, with this modernization, practically changes the whole battery of this system, before the modernization. Also, for better protection of the 2S1 Gvozdika system itself, a turret with a 12.7mm machine gun was added.
