The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled howitzer was presented for the first time to the public in April 2015 during rehearsals for the Moscow Victory Day parade. Some Russian sources said that the 2S35 can fire fully autonomously without any crew in the turret. In March 2015, Russian website has announced the first delivery of first batch of 12 2S35 152mm self-propelled howitzer.
The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV layout is very similar to the 2S19 howitzer, with the driver compartment at the front, turret in the middle of the hull and power pack at the rear. The crew consists of three soldiers, driver, commander and gunner. According our analysis of the first scale model of the 2S35, three hatches are located at the front of the chassis, then we can suppose that there is no crew in the turret. |

The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV tracked self-propelled howitzer could be equipped with the new 2A88 cannon 152mm which is under development.
To increase its self-protection, a remote weapon station armed with a 12.7mm Kord machine is mounted on the top of the turret. Three smoke grenade dischargers are mounted either side at the front of the turret. The turret is also equipped with an automatic loading system. The S2S35 is able to fire a new generation of 9K25, the 152 mm Krasnopol laser-guided projectile. |
