19:29 Loader of the 122mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mount, call sign Kasper told about combat missions in the Kherson region.

The call sign for the loader of the "Carnation" was given by his fellow soldiers:

"I remember I couldn't choose it for a long time. One night, a fellow soldier turned to me and said: "You have a kind face, like Casper." That's what they started calling me," the soldier shared.

The only thing the Arctic assault squad fighter has in common with the good ghost from the cartoon is their similarity in appearance. In reality, "Casper" from the Arctic loads deadly shells. Cold-bloodedly, without unnecessary fuss, as befits a real warrior and professional.

"During another duty, an order was received to prepare the gun for firing. We quickly equipped ourselves and moved to the firing point. It was necessary to solve a combat mission to provide fire cover for the soldiers changing shifts on the Dnieper islands.

The enemy was firing a mortar at them. We were required to make an accurate hit so that the enemy would not have time to hide. Thanks to the correct firing data and the coordinated work of our crew, we destroyed the enemy's firing point with a minimum expenditure of ammunition," "Kasper" said with a clear sense of pride.
