The new self-propelled gun is designed for artillery units of the Airborne Forces and is equipped with a 120-mm gun with a high degree of automation. The new gun will be maximally unified with the gun of the "Vena" SPG.

The heart of the machine is a 450 hp diesel engine, which can accelerate the vehicle up to 70 km/h on roads and up to 40 km/h on rough terrain.
