SAO 2S40 "Floks" Combines the Functions of a Howitzer, Gun, and Mortar

The "Army-2024" forum presented the 120-mm highly mobile self-propelled artillery gun 2S40 "Floks", which performs the functions of both a howitzer and a mortar. Similar guns are installed on the SAO "Khosta", "Vienna", "Nona-SVK", but in this case, it has been modified specifically for "Floks".

Military expert Evgeny Damantsev noted that the semi-automatic rifled gun 2A80 has an angular guidance sector from -4 to +80 °, providing engagement of enemy targets at a distance of 5 to 14 km, with the use of active-rocket projectiles.

The gun's ammunition is represented by the "Kitolov-2" artillery guided projectile from the Tula KBP with a range of up to 12 km. "Floks" is equipped with a digital automatic gun aiming control system. The "Ural-4320" is used as a chassis.
