The 1V110 Bereza is the senior battery officer's command vehicle in the Soviet 1V17 Mashina-B artillery fire-control complex, used with towed and rocket-artillery units including BM-21 Grad batteries. Built on a GAZ-66 truck chassis, it carries navigation, communications, meteorological, and fire-control equipment for battery-level coordination; Oryx has documented Russian 1V110 BM-21 Grad battery command vehicles among losses in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.

Role in Conflicts

2014 Russia-Ukraine War
Targeting SupportCaptured Equipment

Oryx lists two Russian 1V110 BM-21 Grad battery command vehicles in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War loss record, including one captured and destroyed and another captured. Ukrainian reporting on the first month of the 2022 invasion separately described defenders capturing a 1V110 artillery fire-control vehicle; the sources support battlefield presence and capture/loss status, not confirmed Ukrainian operational reuse.

Fire-Control Role

The 1V110 sits behind the launchers as a battery command node. Sources describe the 1V17 Mashina-B complex as a system for reconnaissance, topographic and meteorological preparation, and fire control for firing platoons, batteries, and artillery battalions.

Battery function

Coordinates firing-platoon control, battery position data, launcher orientation, firing settings, and command reception from the 1V111 vehicle.

Vehicle base

GAZ-66 truck with a K66N special body for command, communications, and calculation workstations.

System family

Part of the 1V17 Mashina-B automated fire-control complex for towed and rocket artillery.

Repair context

A June 2014 Ukrainian repair-procurement report named the 1V17 set, including 1V110, in the same Shepetivka repair package that also covered BM-21 Grad work.

Variants

Open sources distinguish the original 1V110 Bereza from the later 1V110-1 modernization, while the wider 1V17 complex also includes commander and battalion-level vehicles.

VariantConfigurationDesignation notes
1V110 BerezaOriginal battery senior officer vehicle

The 1V17 Mashina-B complex used three 1V110 vehicles for battery-level fire-control functions alongside 1V18, 1V111, and 1V19 vehicles.

Rocket-Artillery Battery Supported

The 1V110 is a command and fire-control vehicle rather than a launcher. Its role is tied to battery-level coordination for the 1V17 Mashina-B system and to BM-21 Grad battery command in available imagery and loss records.
