"This is a unique artillery system. It is the future of artillery. Only two armies all over the world have systems of the kind. It is a competitive product, and I hope that it will enjoy huge exportability after it has passed its tests and been fielded with our army," Borisov said on a visit to the Uraltransmash plant.

He noted that the percentage of advanced weaponry in the Russian Army’s inventory has stood at about 39% to date and was expected to hit at least 70% by year-end 2020.

"Actually, the defense procurement program’s segment pertinent to artillery armament delivery and repair has grown by several times in recent years - demand is huge," Borisov.

Russia’s 152-mm 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV brigade-level SPH is designed to deal with tactical nuclear systems, artillery and mortar batteries, tanks and other armor, antitank systems, manpower, air and missile defense assets, and control centers. A prototype batch of cutting-edge SPHs was unveiled among other latest armored vehicles during the Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9, 2015.

The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV tracked self-propelled howitzer is armed with the new 2A88 cannon 152mm which is under development.

The 2S35 can fire a wide range of munitions, including standard and rocket-assisted HE-FRAG projectiles, cluster projectiles with anti-tank submunitions, jammer carrying projectiles. It has a maximum firing range of 30 km with standard ammunitions and around 40 km with rocket-assisted projectile.

The S2S35 is able to fire a new generation of 9K25, the 152 mm Krasnopol laser-guided projectile which has a maximum range of 20 km.
