2s7 Pion Malka - Russian Self Propelled 203mm Heavy Artillery

The 2S7 Pion ("peony") or Malka is a Soviet self-propelled 203mm heavy artillery. "2S7" is its GRAU designation.
It was identified for the first time in 1975 in the Soviet Army and so was called M-1975 by NATO (the 2S4 Tyulpan also received the M-1975 designation), whereas its official designation is SO-203 (2S7). It uses originally designed chassis (partly based on T-72 and T-80 design) carrying an externally mounted 2A44 203 mm gun on the hull rear.
It takes the crew of seven men 5-6 minutes to setup and 3-5 minutes to dismantle. It carries four 203 mm projectiles for immediate use. It is capable of firing nuclear ammunition. The gun has a range of 37,500 metres (23.3 mi), but this can be extended to 55,500 metres (34.5 mi) by using RAPs (Rocket Assisted Projectiles). One interesting feature of the Pion is the firing alarm. Because the blast of the weapon firing is so powerful-it can physically incapacitate an unprepared soldier or crew member near it from concussive force-the Pion is equipped with an audible firing alarm that emits a series of short warning tones for approximately five seconds prior to the charge being fired.
The 2S7 carries a crew of fourteen; seven are carried by the Pion and seven are with an auxiliary vehicle. The system carries four rounds of ammunition; four more rounds are carried by the support vehicle. Due to the long range, the crew can fire one or two rounds and leave position before the first round hits the enemy position over 40 km away. This makes the 2S7 less susceptible to counter-battery fire, from an enemy with a counter-battery radar such as ARTHUR.

I never liked the decision the US made when we got rid of the 175mm and 208mm artillery. The range, accuracy, and sheer firepower were just devastating.

Shit... I meant _"firepower"_ of course... damn auto-correct!
Thanks

[@sig5816]

fair, though as far as I know, modern HIMARS and other rocket/missile artillery is superior in literally every way (range, accuracy and probably payload)

And especially price. You can fill the entire grid you're attacking with artillery rounds for the cost of 1 of those rockets.
Still though, you make a really good point. 👍

[@sig5816]

@@donarthiazi2443 Price is indeed a lot better for conventional artillery but I think having a tight budget is possibly one of the only things the US military doesn't have to worry about nowadays 😅

Impressive gun, but ZERO crew protection...

[@mr.mortadha3545]

these gun is too big to be put in a cab like 155mm howitzers

[@MrDelgrigorov]

Crew protection? Theese days you can't protect crew in a tank from simple drone with 1000$ shell on it. How you think someone would protect a crew that is 20 km behind the front line? Protect from what exactly?
