Russian tank maker Uralwagonzawod announced in his VK Social Network account that Uraltransmasz would deliver a fresh 2S7M Malka party, a self-propelled artillery cannon for the Russian Army. It is 1 of the most powerful artillery systems in the world, capable of firing chemical and atomic missiles.

Malka is an improved version of the 2S7 Pion self-propelled gun, which was developed in the 1980s. The 20th century and is inactive considered 1 of the most powerful in the world. The threaded firearm has a 203 mm caliber and the combat vehicle is part of high-power artillery battalions.

The self-propelled artillery strategy is designed to destruct hostile strategical objectives. The weapon has a velocity of up to 2.5 shots per minute and a scope of about 50 km (31 miles). It has a mass of 46 tonnes and a velocity of 60 km/h (37.2 mph). His crew is six.

Malka is utilized during the war in Ukraine. In the spring of that year, the Russian Ministry of Defence published video clips from the Malka system. Fire regulation was carried out utilizing an unmanned Orlan-10 flying system. "We hit the workforce, weapons and enemy fortifications, for example in bunkers," said Malka, a associate of the crew of the Malka self-propelled artillery system. Hitting Malka is adequate to destruct a three- or five-story bunker," he stressed.

Malka's large-caliber artillery systems are regularly improved. Guns receive a fresh gearbox, distribution system, power supplies, communication systems, reception and data processing equipment. Replacement of the atomic protection strategy and strategy reflection facilities. The aim of the improvement is to increase crew endurance and to increase the capability of fire and tactical systems in combat.

2S7M Malka is capable of firing atomic ammunition. A mock-up of 1 of the ammunition was shown by the state corp Rosatom at the Army's global military method forum 2022. The RD5-1 atomic rocket of 203 mm has a capacity of 2000 tons TNT. The cargo was designed for the B-4M artillery system, but is besides suitable for another guns of the same caliber, specified as Malka.

Work is presently underway to make precise missiles directed for the Malka system. "Precise missiles are being developed based on various technologies that improve the accuracy of shooting, specified as radiobalistic missiles, and guided utilizing satellite navigation," said the editor-in-chief of the diary "Arsenal of Homeland" Wiktor Murachowski in an interview with the paper Izwiestija. "As a result, the most powerful cannons become a precise scalpel that from a distance of respective twelve kilometres will be able to hit the strategical targets of the enemy 1-2 missiles".

Murakhovsky besides noted that the digitisation of control systems was crucial for high-power artillery systems. "This modernisation enables artillery battalions to be integrated into individual systems for the recognition/involvement of our troops. As the combat operation in Syria has shown, this reduces the time for the preparation and launch of impact systems. The time from the recognition of the mark and setting of the strike mission to the volley is reduced by 3-5 times," Murachowski quotes in the paper "Izwiestija".
