On social media, we have seen many reports of the handover of the new 2S35 Coalition-SV self-propelled howitzers to the Russian Federation Army. These are the first production units of this new and modern Russian howitzer. The previous 12 units produced can only be counted as prototype and pre-series. The development of the howitzer began in late 2005 and early 2006, and it was originally developed as a double-barrelled howitzer. After 2010, however, the concept was changed and the first prototype howitzer was not produced until 2013.
