Koalitsiya-SV

Russia’s next-generation 152 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer—a fully automated, crew-isolated design with a claimed reach of 70 km and beyond, intended to replace the 2S19 Msta-S but still in limited introduction and untested in mass combat.

Overview

The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV (Coalition-SV) is a tracked self-propelled howitzer under development by Uralvagonzavod / Uraltransmash for the Russian Ground Forces. It pairs a 152 mm L/52 cannon with a full-autoloader inside an unmanned turret, while the crew of three operates from an isolated armoured capsule at the front. The design aims to deliver higher rates of fire, longer range, and better survivability than the current 2S19 Msta-S fleet. As of early 2026, however, the system remains in low-rate introduction, with no verified mass deployment to the war in Ukraine.

Development

Russia began work on a next-generation SP howitzer in the early 2010s, initially unveiling a twin-barrel demonstrator that was later cancelled in favour of the single-barrel 2S35. A first small batch was reported delivered around May 2020, according to Army Technology, and a handful have since been handed over to training establishments. Several secondary sources cite a service entry date of 2023, though no serial-production figures have been publicly confirmed; estimates put the total produced at only a dozen vehicles Military Watch Magazine. The programme remains constrained by industrial capacity and Western sanctions on precision components.
