The 2S34 Hosta (originally 2S1M) is a Russian 120-mm self-propelled artillery system. The 2С34 is a heavily upgraded version of the 2С1 "Gvozdika" incorporating several components and developments from the 2С31 "Vena", 2С23 "Nona-SVK", and "Object 118" (GMZ). The 2С34 "Hosta" was developed at the Motovilikhinskiy Plant in Perm, Russia.

“The Hosta” is designed to suppress manpower, artillery and mortar batteries, rocket launchers, armored targets, firepower, and C2s at distances up to 14 kilometers.

On March 14, 2022, during the massive Russian invasion, Ukrainian defenders were able to capture the first 2S34 "Hosta."
On April 2, 2022, Ukrainian defense forces seized a second 2С34 "Hosta" in the Chernihiv region.
