The 2s35 Koalitsiya-SV is the first self-propelled artillery system that uses artificial intelligence to lock on to a target at distances of up to 70 km (43.5 miles). In late May 2020, the Russian Armed Forces received its first shipment of upgraded Russian artillery systems - the Koalitsiya-SV. These metal monsters were developed with the express purpose of destroying large, heavily armoured enemy weapons far beyond the front line. A system of this sort can fire 10 152-mm rounds at a target 70 km (43.5 miles) away, turning it into a heap of metal - including tanks, artillery and mortar and even anti-aircraft systems! The howitzer is operated by three crew members, the driver, gunner and commander. The driver is seated in the centre in the middle of the hull, while gunner and commander are seated on either side. Three hatches are provided for emergency exit of the crew. The all-welded steel hull offers protection from mines, small arms fire and shell splinters. Features of the howitzer include warning receiver, night vision, microwave shell priming system, nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system, and shock absorber. The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV uses components of the T-90 MBT chassis motorized with a turbocharged diesel engine developing 1,000 hp. The suspension is of the torsion bar type with either side having six roadwheels, idler at the front, drive sprocket at the rear and five track-return rollers, with the upper part of the track being covered by a skirt.
