2S23 Nona-SVK, 120 mm wheeled self-propelled gun-mortar, ArtilleryArtillery2S23 Nona-SVK120 mm wheeled self-propelled gun-mortarSide: Russia / UkraineBuilt: Motovilikha Plants Corporation / Arzamas Machine-Building Plant / RussiaThe 2S23 Nona-SVK is a Russian 120 mm self-propelled gun-mortar that adapts the Nona artillery system to a BTR-80 8x8 armored chassis. Its rifled 2A60 weapon can provide direct or indirect fire with mortar bombs and artillery projectiles, giving motorized units a compact battalion-level fire-support vehicle. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Russian 2S23s have appeared in battlefield reporting and visually confirmed loss records, including destroyed and captured vehicles.
2S40 Floks, 120 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer/mortar, ArtilleryArtillery2S40 Floks120 mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer/mortarSide: RussiaBuilt: Burevestnik Central Research Institute / Uralvagonzavod / Rostec / RussiaThe 2S40 Floks is a Russian 120 mm wheeled self-propelled artillery system on an armored Ural-4320 6x6 chassis, built to combine mortar, howitzer-style indirect fire, and direct-fire roles. Its documented Russia-Ukraine War appearance is notable because Ukrainian sources reported FPV-drone strikes against the new system soon after Rostec announced deliveries to Russian forces in October 2023.
2S1 Gvozdika, 122 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery2S1 Gvozdika122 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerSide: Russia / Ukraine / Syrian government and allies / Opposition and anti-government forces / Armenia / ArtsakhBuilt: Kharkiv Tractor Plant; Plant No. 9 for the 2A31 howitzer / Soviet UnionThe 2S1 Gvozdika is a Soviet 122 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer built around the 2A31 gun on an amphibious armored chassis derived from the MT-LB family. In the Russia-Ukraine War it remains a common short-to-medium-range artillery system for both Russian and Ukrainian forces, combining mobility, indirect fire, and widespread 122 mm ammunition compatibility.
2S5 Giatsint-S, 152 mm tracked self-propelled gun, ArtilleryArtillery2S5 Giatsint-S152 mm tracked self-propelled gunSide: Russia / UkraineBuilt: Uraltransmash / Soviet UnionThe 2S5 Giatsint-S is a Soviet 152 mm tracked self-propelled gun built for long-range corps- and army-level fire support. Its open rear-mounted 2A37 gun gives it greater reach than many older Soviet 152 mm systems, while its tracked chassis keeps it mobile enough for displacement after firing. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears in Russian artillery units and, in at least one documented case, as a captured system restored for Ukrainian use.
2S3 Akatsiya, 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery2S3 Akatsiya152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerSide: Russia / Syrian government and allies / Armenia / ArtsakhBuilt: Uraltransmash / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2S3 Akatsiya is a Soviet 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer built around the 2A33 gun and a turreted armored chassis. Designed for divisional fire support and accepted into service in 1971, it remains relevant in the Russia-Ukraine War because Russian forces still use legacy Akatsiya batteries for indirect fires despite newer self-propelled artillery types.
2S19 Msta-S, 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery2S19 Msta-S152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerSide: Russia / UkraineBuilt: Uraltransmash / Sterlitamak Machine Construction Factory / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2S19 Msta-S is a Soviet-designed, Russian-produced 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer built to replace earlier 2S3 and 2S5 artillery systems with longer-range fire, automated laying variants, and armored cross-country mobility. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears as a Russian tube-artillery system and as captured equipment operated by Ukrainian units, making it part of the conflict's counter-battery and trophy-equipment record.
2S35 Koalitsiya-SV, 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery2S35 Koalitsiya-SV152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerSide: RussiaBuilt: Uraltransmash / RussiaThe 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV is a Russian 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer developed as a highly automated successor to the 2S19 Msta-S, pairing a 2A88 gun, uncrewed turret, automated loading, digital fire-control features, and a T-90-derived chassis for long-range tube-artillery missions. Its appearance in the Russia-Ukraine War has been reported in limited numbers, with open-source conflict reporting emphasizing counter-battery use and uncertainty around official confirmation.
152 mm SpGH DANA, 152 mm wheeled self-propelled gun-howitzer, ArtilleryArtillery152 mm SpGH DANA152 mm wheeled self-propelled gun-howitzerSide: UkraineBuilt: ZTS Dubnica nad Vahom / Excalibur Army / Czechoslovakia / Slovakia / Czech RepublicThe 152 mm SpGH DANA is a Czechoslovak wheeled self-propelled gun-howitzer built around a Tatra 8x8 chassis, a semi-automatic loading system, and a 152 mm gun compatible with Soviet-pattern ammunition. In Ukrainian service, Czech-supplied DANA and DANA M2 systems add mobile tube artillery that can shoot and displace faster than towed 152 mm guns while still using ammunition types already present in Ukraine's artillery inventory.
2S7M Malka, 203 mm tracked self-propelled gun, ArtilleryArtillery2S7M Malka203 mm tracked self-propelled gunSide: RussiaBuilt: Leningrad Kirov Plant / Barrikady / Uraltransmash / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2S7M Malka is the modernized variant of the Soviet 2S7 Pion, a tracked 203 mm self-propelled gun built for high-power artillery missions against deep or hardened targets. The Malka upgrade increased carried ammunition and rate of fire, added newer communications and control equipment, and has been documented in Russian long-range fire and counterbattery roles during the Russia-Ukraine War.
2S4 Tyulpan, 240 mm self-propelled heavy mortar, ArtilleryArtillery2S4 Tyulpan240 mm self-propelled heavy mortarSide: Russia / Russian-backed separatist forcesBuilt: Uraltransmash / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2S4 Tyulpan is a Soviet 240 mm self-propelled heavy mortar built around a large breech-loaded 2B8 mortar on a tracked chassis. Its unusually heavy bombs and low rate of fire make it a siege and bunker-attack weapon rather than a conventional rapid-fire howitzer, and Russian forces have used or lost examples in Ukraine where its size and firing signature make it a high-value counter-battery target.
2S9 Nona, Air-droppable 120 mm self-propelled mortar, ArtilleryArtillery2S9 NonaAir-droppable 120 mm self-propelled mortarSide: Russia / UkraineBuilt: Motovilikha Plants Corporation / Soviet Union / RussiaThe 2S9 Nona is a Soviet airborne self-propelled mortar built around a 120 mm gun-mortar on a tracked amphibious BTR-D-derived chassis. Designed to give airborne and other high-mobility units organic indirect fire, it combines mortar-style high-angle fire with limited direct-fire capability and remains documented in Russia-Ukraine War service with both Russian and Ukrainian forces.
