The 2S7 is the most powerful howitzer in the Russian army, used by soldiers of the 45th Artillery Brigade of the "West" group of forces. The 2S7 "Pion" howitzer was developed in the USSR in 1975 and later modernized to the 2S7M "Malka" version. The howitzer can fire shells with a nuclear warhead, equivalent to approximately 2 kilotons of TNT. The howitzer is equipped with a 2A44 artillery gun weighing 14.6 tons. Technical specifications of the 2S7 self-propelled gun are on the screen. The howitzer is operated by seven personnel and is capable of hitting targets at a range of 47.5 kilometers using rocket-assisted projectiles. The rate of fire of the "Pion" self-propelled gun is 1.5-2 rounds per minute. Russia currently has 50 2S7M Malka howitzers and 75 2S7 Pion howitzers in service. 160 2S7 Pion howitzers are in storage as of 2024. The Ukrainian army also uses the 2S7 Pion howitzer.
