Role

A next-generation self-propelled artillery system designed to replace the 2S19 “Msta-S” as the main 152 mm SPG at the divisional-army level. The principal innovation is an **unmanned turret** with an autoloader: the entire three-man crew is housed inside the armoured capsule in the hull, which sharply improves survivability under counter-battery fire. The 2A88 gun, with a 52-calibre barrel and reinforced ballistics, achieves a range of up to 40 km with the standard HE round and up to 70 km with a new-generation rocket-assisted guided shell. Rate of fire reaches 16 rounds per minute thanks to a two-flow feed system (projectile and charge fed separately). The chassis uses T-90A drivetrain components (originally developed for the “Armata” platform, but the production version reverted to the proven tank chassis). The vehicle has a digital fire-control system networked into the “Strelets” combat information system, a thermal observation suite, and GLONASS/GPS navigation. First shown at the 2015 Victory Day parade; the first batch was delivered to the Russian Armed Forces in 2020 and the system was formally accepted into service in 2024.
