The use of 240-millimeter heavy self-propelled mortars 2X4 "Tulip" and 203-millimeter heavy self-propelled guns 2S7M "Malka", developed in the 1970s, is an example of the pragmatism of the Russians, writes the Polish edition of Defence24.

"Russians are very pragmatic here. Having large stocks of unused ammunition and simple artillery equipment for long-term use, they decided not to decommission it, but to try to adapt it to other realities and new tactics," the publication says.

The publication, assessing the recent exercises in the Tambov region, writes that in Russia "they are doing everything possible to improve the accuracy of shooting and the speed of reaction to enemy actions." Defence24 recalls that Orlan-10 drones were used to guide the projectiles.

In April 2020, TASS columnist Dmitry Litovkin noted that the Russian weapons deployed in the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions have a range capable of "piercing" the whole of Europe. In particular, in his opinion, the return to service of the 2S7M "Malka" and 2S4 "Tulip", capable of firing nuclear ammunition, is an alarming signal.
