I've personally been focused on the MBTs and IFVs that Russia is soon to roll out. Its in my wheelhouse so I guess that's natural...but what about the new self propelled artillery that Russia is also teasing?
On this I have no idea. Hopefully an artillery guy can point out what's new (at least from what little we can see), what's different, how they're deviating from past practices, etc...
One thing we can "spot" because of the above pic is the relative size. This is one HUGE vehicle! Check out the BTR behind it, the utility vehicle to the left and the mobile strategic missile in the background. My guess? Its an autoloader. It looks like it has a 203mm gun...which would be a throwback to when artillery was taken seriously...yeah...this thing could be a beast!
UPDATE: Galvars thinks that we're simply seeing a modified 2S19 MSTA. I disagree. Check out the pic below. Pay careful attention to the barrels. We're seeing something more powerful and more substantial in this new vehicle. I could easily be wrong but I don't think so.
