The network has published footage showing the work of 120 mm CAO 2C42 "Lotus".

During the presentation, the self-propelled howitzer demonstrated its advanced capabilities

- it is said in the Western press.

The Lotus is designed to replace the outdated 2S9 Nona artillery system, which has been in service since 1981. The new product, designed specifically for the Airborne Forces, "combines mobility, firepower and protection, becoming a new generation weapon."

The Lotus, weighing 18 tons, was created on the basis of the BMD-4M and is equipped with a 120 mm cannon capable of both direct fire and working from closed positions. The maximum firing range is 13 km, and the rate of fire is from 6 to 8 rounds per minute. The machine is equipped with a 360° rotating turret, a 40-round automatic loader and is compatible with various types of ammunition, including rifled shells and 120 mm mines.

The ability of the Lotus to perform the functions of both a mortar and a howitzer significantly increases its operational versatility

- it is noted in the press.

The Lotus is equipped with an automated guidance system, a mechanized ammunition storage system that simplifies reloading, and reinforced armor. The hydropneumatic suspension ensures stability and accuracy in different types of terrain, and the 450 hp diesel engine allows you to reach a maximum speed of 70 km/h and cover a distance of 500 km. In addition, its amphibious capabilities and compatibility with the Il-76 VTS determine the strategic mobility of the system.
