Improvised armor on Russian 2S1 howitzer in Zaporizhzhia

A video posted by @IntelSlava shows a Russian 122 mm self‑propelled howitzer, the 2S1 “Gvozdika”, operating in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region. The artillery piece has been retrofitted with improvised wooden armor plates, likely to protect the crew from small‑arms fire and shrapnel. The howitzer is assigned to the Vostok (East) group of forces, a Russian formation active in the area. This modification reflects ongoing attempts by Russian units to adapt equipment under combat conditions.
