This information was given during the celebration of the global Military writer Day by Alan Łusznikov, president of Kalashnikov Group and associate of the board of the Union of Russian device Manufacturers, which was written about, among others, the ArmyRecognition Service. This took place on November 2, erstwhile the public dynamic show of 2S42 Lotos was besides held during the event. Interestingly, [in August, the Ukrainian defence Express service](https://defence24.pl/industrial/Russian-new-mozdzierz-on-state tests-again) reported, citing the words of Łusznikov mentioned, that the Russian Ministry of Defence is planning again to launch state tests 2S42 Lotos. Does this mean that this will actually happen?
