Self-propelled artillery 2S-19 “Msta-S”
The self-propelled artillery 2S-19 “Msta-S” is a 152mm artillery system produced in Russia, developed to provide long-range fire support to ground forces. The name “Msta” is derived from the Msta River in Russia, and the “S” designation indicates that it is a self-propelled system (Samokhodnaya).
The 2S19 “Msta-S” was introduced into military service in 1989 and is used by the Russian armed forces and other countries. The system is mounted on a tracked chassis, which gives it mobility and the ability to accompany infantry and armored units on the battlefield.
The “Msta-S” has a maximum range of approximately 29 km with standard ammunition and up to 36 km with rocket-assisted ammunition. It can fire various types of projectiles, including high-explosive fragmentation shells, armor-piercing shells, and laser-guided projectiles. The system is also capable of performing counter-battery missions, attacking enemy artillery.
One of the distinctive features of the 2S-19 “Msta-S” is its high rate of fire, being able to fire up to 6 to 8 shots per minute. In addition, the system has an automatic loader that allows for faster and more efficient operation.
The 2S19 “Msta-S” is a robust and reliable artillery system that continues to play an important role in the long-range fire support of the Russian armed forces and other countries that use it.
