2S9 "Nona-S" is a 120-mm self-propelled artillery gun (SPG) that combines the properties of a howitzer, a gun and a mortar, developed specifically for the Airborne Forces. The SPG commander with the call sign "Berkut" told how the "Nona-S" was modified.
Two visors were installed on the gun: one above the turret, the other above the rear of the hull. This device protects armored vehicles from ammunition dropped from drones.
"Nona" shows itself perfectly: it is accurate, mobile, easy to use. It is miniature, so it is difficult to notice
2S9 "Nona-S" fires a high-explosive fragmentation projectile at a distance of more than 8 km. "Nona" is not a name, but an abbreviation of the name "Newest gun of ground artillery". It is known that the "debut" of the SPG took place during the conflict in Afghanistan.
