The Russian defense industry is ready for the serial production of the Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled gun, which has technical characteristics that will help domestic artillery surpass Western artillery.
Previously, military analysts noted that the barrel artillery of the Russian Federation is inferior to the guns in service with NATO countries. An officer of the 1st Army Corps claimed that Russian soldiers do not have many guns that can compare with the 155-mm Western howitzers. Among them, he named the self-propelled gun Malka.
However, great hopes are pinned on the Koalitsiya-SV. The fact is that the rate of fire of the gun is more than 10 rounds per minute, which is a record for self-propelled guns. The firing range is up to 70 km. In addition, the system is automated; Rostec compares it to combat robots. Firing is controlled by a crew of 3 people, who are located in a separate armored capsule.
The turret of the self-propelled gun houses a ammunition load of 70 shells. A special ammunition has been developed for the self-propelled gun, with the help of which such a high firing range is achieved. It is known that the Russian defense industry needs to quickly establish the production of shells for the Koalitsiya-SV. Information about when the serial production of the self-propelled gun itself will begin is kept secret.
