Two Days with Ukraine's 154th Brigade Artillery on the Frontlines, in Photos
Amid the Russian invasion, Ukraine's 154th Mechanized Brigade stands ready. The 2S1 Gvozdika artillery unit delivers precision and power, remaining focused under pressure.
We spent two days with the 154th Brigade’s position near Vovchansk on the Kharkiv front, witnessing the crew’s relentless effort to load and fire, keeping their 2S1 Gvozdika howitzer primed for action. A UNITED24 Media operator signs a shell, which is then unloaded at the firing position.
In the midst of it all, brief moments of rest emerge—like a crew member savoring a smoke after a meal. But even in those quiet seconds, they stay alert. The command keeps a sharp eye on the crews, tracking their strikes on Russian positions.
