Created in a single copy, the Ukrainian self-propelled artillery 2S22, according to its developers, is already outdated. At least, during the recent IDEX-2023 international arms exhibition in Abu Dhabi, an upgraded version was already advertised.According to "RG:Russian weapons", the exhibition stand of the Kramatorsk Heavy machine-tool plant showed a mock-up of the original model, created on the chassis of the bankrupt Kremenchug automobile plant KrAZ.

However, a version on the chassis of the Czech Tatra T815 four-axle all-terrain vehicle with a cabin that received enhanced booking was also presented on the brochures. The desire to install a new computerized system of automatic guidance and tracking of the target is stated.
The rate of fire of the self-propelled gun is quite mediocre at the present time - only five shots per minute. Ammunition - 20 shells. Combat weight - 28,000 kg. In addition to the KrAZ chassis, Tatra, the German MAN is also being considered.

However, this project is only drawn and there is little chance that it will ever turn into a real car - it is impossible to produce it on the territory of Ukraine, and hardly anyone from foreign customers will be seriously interested in it. Foreign armies are already buying Western or Chinese self-propelled artillery installations.
