Why It Matters
The new Mak self-propelled gun is a further development of the 2S44 Giatsint-K installation with a 2A37M cannon.
The new 152 mm Mak self-propelled gun was fired with an active-rocket projectile (ARS) at the Kapustin Yar training ground. The corresponding footage was published in the channel of Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in Max.
During a trip to the Southern Federal District, Medvedev was shown new and promising weapons. In particular, the recording shows a shot from a self-propelled artillery mount (SAU) on a four-axle BAZ-6910-027 chassis. Judging by the trail behind the projectile, Mak used active-reactive ammunition. ARSs carry a jet engine, which begins to operate after leaving the barrel. This provides a longer shot range.
It is believed that the Mak is a further development of the 2S44 Giatsint-K installation with a 2A37M cannon.
