According to him, it is about new self-propelled howitzers "Coalicia-SV", which the Kremlin plans to move to the borders with Norway and Finland in the near future. Weapons are quite specific and in its "mythism similar to the armature tank". That is, Russia boasts the latest weapons and its capabilities against the backdrop of competitors from the West, but in reality, the SAU has not yet been used in battle, so it is difficult to predict something, says a military expert.
Made "Coalicia-SV" for a very long time, and the implementation of the project began in zero or 2010s. The Kremlin has a closure to create a system that would allegedly at times better than the artillery systems in the West, and will use it at the same time Caliber shells 155. "Any 155 mm system fires 152mm. You will not spend physics here. The shells of 155 millimeters are more charge, more "camera" and more. Then in Russia they even thought of switching to the shells of 155 millimeters.
But there were 152 millimeters on shells. "Coalition-SV" has been done for a long time. Initially, they planned to make a two -barrel system to go out 12 shots per minute. But in the end it came out just a new "MSTA" with a longer trunk,-says Oleg Koskov. Only literally 2 months ago did the SAU emerge that all the trials had been passed in the end, but this is clearly not the kind of weapons that would suit Russia. Their production will be low and slowly begins.
