An updated wheeled self-propelled artillery installation 2S22 "Bogdana" of Ukrainian production appeared on one of the sites near the contact line. A snapshot of the new version of the ACS is distributed by Ukrainian resources.
The first photo of the modified Ukrainian self-propelled gun "Bogdana" appeared on the Network, where it is not known exactly where the picture was taken, but it is claimed that in the area of the contact line, the installation was filmed in motion. In Ukrainian public media, they say that this is the first production car, the "soon" arrival of which into service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine was promised by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Reznikov in early February.
Where the updated version of Bogdana is being produced is not disclosed, most likely, the company is located on the territory of one of the neighboring countries with Ukraine. As previously reported, the installation was finalized taking into account the experience of application at the front, after which it was put into production. How many new self-propelled guns have been received by the APU to date, or is the installation performed in a single copy, there is no data.

As mentioned above, the modified ACS was placed on a new chassis, presumably it is a three-axle MAZ-6317, but this is not accurate. The basic version was placed on the KRAZ chassis. The cabin is armored and somewhat resembles the design of the Ukrainian armored car "Varta". There are no other details to see.
Meanwhile, according to Ukrainian resources, Kiev is already preparing to launch the Bogdan 2S22 ACS on the international market in the hope that someone will be interested in it and start buying. For potential foreign customers, Ukraine offers Bogdan-3.0 on the chassis of the Czech Tatra T815 8×8 four-axle truck. There is no such installation in hardware yet, but the developers have already presented the model in February at the IDEX-2023 exhibition in Abu Dhabi.
