MOSCOW --- The Russian Land Force's artillery brigades will begin receiving state-of-the-art Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled guns in the near future, chief of missile and artillery troops Maj. Gen. Mikhail Matveevsky said Friday.
"The planned purchase and supply of these complexes into the artillery brigades will begin in the near future," Matveevsky said.
Koalitsiya-SV was first unveiled at the Victory Day parade on May 9, 2015, in Red Square, Moscow.
Matveevsky underscored the automated weapon's innovative multi-round simultaneous impact firing capabilities, delivering several volleys at various trajectories to engage a target at the same time.
"The combat capabilities of the complex are double that of all existing domestic and foreign models," he stressed.
Russia's state-of-the-art Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled guns will serve as the blueprint for robotized artillery systems in the future, chief of the Land Force's missile and artillery troops Maj. Gen. Mikhail Matveevsky said.
"We can speak about creating fully robotic artillery systems that perform tasks without human intervention in the future," Matveevsky said.
"Robotization is one of the armed forces' priority areas. The development of the Koalitsiya-SV artillery complex is already being finalized. This model is the first step toward the robotization of artillery systems," Matveevsky stressed.
He highlighted the self-propelled gun's unmanned combat compartment and its automated guiding and armament loading capabilities.

I self propelled a gun one time. It kept jamming so I threw it about 50 feet. Does that count?
Looks like a tank with a real big gun on it.
Don't ask/offer .. it's long gone 5 or six years ago in a trade.
They’re building some MEAN WEAPONS, especially compared to the way our military is shriveling up. Kinda of nice to have a president who’s not hell-bent on making them use those weapons.
Nothing says, “Get off my lawn...”
Had a Romanian, no problems. It’s one gun I’d like to own gain...
It’s a self-propelled artillery piece, a more advanced counterpart to our Paladin system.
Self propelled guns are mobile artillery so it it really depends on the caliber. If you threw a .22 LR or a 9 mm, probably not. If you threw a .375 H&H or larger, then yeah. Maybe a .45-70 or something.
Sort of a robotized MSTA.
I remember as a boy in the 50s having a Revell Tank model that looked like this = A US Army self propelled howitzer that could throw and A-Bomb projectile..... Frankly all I remember is self-propelled howitzer.

From Wikipedia:
“Initial reports describe the main armament as a 2A88[7] 152 mm gun with a range of up to 70 kilometers using precision-guided rounds and up to 40 km with standard rounds that are currently used on Msta-S.[4][6] The claimed average rate of fire is around 16 rounds per minute,[8](15+)[9] with a maximum rate of 20 rounds per minute”
Wonder what the barrel life is on that thing at 16-20 RPM?
So, you’re saying size matters? ;-)
Gee... paint it different and dress the crewman different and it looks a lot like a Paladin.
There's a good reason for that. It IS a tank chassis with a real big gun on it.
To save costs, they are using a common chassis for the T-14 tank, and various other combat vehicles.
I THINK mine was Romanian, but I can't remember.
All I know is I could never pull off more than three or four rounds ... even slowly ... before jamming.
WHATEVER I had was a frustrating piece of jit !
Damn shame as AKs are usually stone reliable. My Bugarian AK47 has never misfired no matter what kind of ammo I use.
WOW!! What a rate of fire! Can you imagine facing something like that?
They were ordered not to take the SUV down side slopes while using Firestone tires.... wee bit top heavy...
