This allows us to quickly transform and scale technologies. Like a Lego constructor, we adapt weapons to current needs. 
Bekhan Ozdoyev, top manager of Rostec

This is the «adaptability of military technologies,» he explained. As an example, Ozdoyev cited the 2S43 Malva self-propelled artillery gun (SPG).

A new wheeled gun "Hyacinth-K", designed based on the results of the combat use of "Malva" artillery units. Rostec developers combined the wheeled base of "Malva" with another version of the gun.

Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to significantly increase the fleet of wheeled artillery, he summarized.

2S43 "Malva" — a complex on the chassis of the BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchina" vehicle. Equipped with a 2A64 152 mm caliber rifled howitzer. The developers abandoned the turret, making the self-propelled gun lighter. It can be transferred to the place of operation by Il-76 military transport aircraft.
