2S35 Koalitsiya-SV

Development and design

Early development explored a twin-gun concept on an Msta-based chassis, but the production direction moved to a new single-barrel automated turret. Ammunition handling and fire-control systems are designed to reduce crew workload and speed fire missions. ^{1, 2}

Operational use

Public demonstrations began in the mid-2010s, and Russian sources have described progressive fielding while development and production continued. ^{1, 2}

Role and significance

Koalitsiya-SV represents the modern trend toward highly automated armored artillery capable of rapid digital engagement and displacement rather than simply mounting a larger gun on a tank chassis. ^{1, 2}
