Manufacturer reveals current price of Bohdana artillery system
The Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Building Plant (KZVV) has revealed the current prices for the Ukrainian-made 155mm Bohdana howitzer in its self-propelled and towed configurations.

Quote: "The self-propelled version is priced at €2.5 million, while the towed version costs €1.6 million."
Details: The representative said the company has manufactured more than 1,000 guns to date.
"More than 1,000 units. They now account for 70% of Ukrainian artillery," they said.
The Bohdana has also been extensively modernised since the beginning of the full-scale war. The KZVV employee said the system has gone through four or five generations of development since the 2022 model.
"A fire-control system has been introduced, and there are more types of chassis. It has become more automated," he said.
