Footage of the new Russian 152-mm Malva self-propelled howitzer, equipped with a different long-range artillery weapon. In this version, the 2S43 Malva self-propelled howitzer is additionally equipped with anti-drone shields, a camouflage net, and has a standard electronic warfare system to protect against drones. Previously, the Malva self-propelled howitzer was criticized for its low firing range, after which the developers promised to replace the weapon. In this version of the Malva self-propelled howitzer, there is already a new weapon. Previously, the Malva self-propelled howitzer used a 2A64 gun with a barrel length of 47 calibers. According to the serviceman, the Malva self-propelled howitzer can now fire at a range of up to 50 kilometers. The self-propelled howitzer uses the Krasnopol-M guided projectile. Previously, the charges for the Krasnopol-M projectile were improved and prepared for use in the Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled howitzer, and they may have also helped increase the firing range. This version of the Malva self-propelled howitzer is presumably armed with a modified version of the 2A36 Giatsint-B artillery gun. The use of this gun and modified Krasnopol shells equalized the combat capabilities of the Malva self-propelled howitzer and Western-style howitzers. Technical information about the Malva self-propelled howitzer and Krasnopol-M shells are in the comments to the video.
