The 2S1 Gvozdika (Russian: 2С1 «Гвоздика» ‘Dianthus’); is a Soviet 122-mm self-propelled howitzer that resembles the PT-76 but is essentially a lengthened version of the MT-LB APC mounting the 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.
