| 2s9 Nona 2s31 Vena 120mm |
 |
The gun is capable of delivering aimed direct
and indirect fire employing HE 120-mm
Russian-made projectiles, and mines of both
Russian and NATO standards. Consequently, the
gun constitutes a hybrid of a howitzer and
mortar that can provide fire support for
mechanised infantry sub-units in all types of
combat. The auxiliary weapon set comprises a
7.62-mm machine gun mounted on the turret
roof, a smoke-screen system, as well as
sighting and night-vision devices.
Specialists throughout the world appreciate
the need to equip high mobility combat units
(paratroops, airmobile and naval infantry)
with a powerful artillery system that can
correspond to ways of their shipment and
mobility in terms of their marching and
maneuvering characteristics.

| Russian Artillery Systems |

MSTA-S, 2s9 "Nona", 2s31 "Vena", MSTA-B,
Bm-21 "Grad", and Bm-30 "Smerch" are
featured.
Russian Artillery and indeed the military
itself was kindled in the fires of World War
Two.
Over 130,000 tons of Soviet artillery was
dropped on Nazi Germany and its forces, while
the second largest amount artillery during
the second world war is claimed by the U.K.
at 16,000 tons fired. It is no doubt that
Russia is the pioneer of artillery as we know
it.
As Russian artillery evolved to fight an even
greater war fantastic systems were created
such as the Bm-27 "Uragan"
and the 2s3 "Akatsia".
Today Russia's artillery system is second to
none with the worlds largest number of
various systems totaling more than 15,200
pieces. Closest competitor is China with
12,000 pieces.
