The modern Russian 120-mm self-propelled gun 2S34 "Hosta" was first talked about 15 years ago. Some of the military experts then began to consider it a further modernization of the famous Soviet 2S1 self-propelled gun, which used the technical solutions of the modern 2S31 "Vienna".

Only in 2015 it was openly shown for the first time at the International Military-Technical Forum "Army".

Then it was reported that the combat vehicle was designed "to increase the combat effectiveness of artillery weapons of the battalion level" of the ground forces and that it could destroy control points, armored objects, artillery and enemy manpower.

The 120 mm rifled gun has a maximum firing range of 14,000 m with shells and 7,500 m with mines. The rate of fire is up to 7 rounds per minute. Ammunition - 40 rounds.

Combat weight - 16,000 kg. Engine power - 300 hp. Power reserve - 500 km. The maximum speed on the highway is 60 km/h and 4.5 km/h afloat. The crew is 4 people.

Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, these self-propelled guns have not been widely developed, and currently they are considered the smallest in the Russian army.
