The Russian defense industry is ready for the mass production of the "Coalition-SV" self-propelled howitzer, which has technical characteristics that will help domestic artillery outperform the Western one.
Prior to this, military analysts noted that the barrel artillery of the Russian Federation is inferior to the guns in service with the NATO bloc countries. An officer of the 1st Army Corps claimed that Russian soldiers do not have many guns at their disposal that can compare with the 155-mm Western howitzers. Among them, he named the "Malka" self-propelled gun.
However, great hopes are pinned on the "Coalition-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 a combat robot. 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 rounds. 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 "Coalition-SV". Information about when mass production of the self-propelled gun itself will begin is kept secret.
